How to Create the Ultimate Holiday Dinner

A fantastic way of showing your loved ones how important they are to you is by hosting a dinner party. And what time is perfect for doing this than the holiday season? (This is also another way of creating an excuse to showcase all your decorations!) Luckily, we’ve got you covered with tips and tricks that will create memories to be treasured for the coming many years. Let’s make you the holiday hostess

 

Get Ahead of the Game

Here is a good trick! Prepare all your food just before your dinner party. This is a great way of creating enough time to mingle with your guests instead of rushing in and out of the kitchen all night. You’ll only have to heat and serve when the D-day finally arrives.
For great appetizers, we recommend that you prepare chilled vegetables. They are quick, mouthwatering, and easy to execute.

 

A Grand Entrance

Make a long-lasting impression. Set the evening tone by welcoming your visitors with mixed signature cocktails or a buffet table loaded with champagne glasses or with a bar cart. This will help set a perfect party atmosphere just from the get-go.
We cherish the idea of having spirits and wines set ready for serving immediately the guests arrive. Another great choice is having a cheese board, readied with fresh grapes and fine crackers. This is the perfect way of filling an instant cheer to your guests.

 

Time to Make a Mood

Have you ever dreamed of putting all your effort into a party just to make it stand out? Well, this is the best opportunity for you! Whether you decide to go for black and yellow throughout your house or you settle for something unanticipated, don’t limit yourself.
Decorate all the rooms with baubles, twinkle lights, garlands, and more. Create a glowing tone all over your house without using fire hazards; get flameless candles, and place them all over (we mean it, there are never too many candles for a dinner party).
If you have any precious treasures stored in your cedar chest, bring them out. We’re talking crystal goblets, fine china, heirloom silver, and monogrammed linens. This is the perfect time to let them shine. Also, remember to set your ultimate playlist to bring that party mood.

 

An Artful Arrangement

Make your dinner party look festive. After setting up your table (hint: we suggest anything with gold), come up with place cards for every guest, then beautify the table’s center with an attractive and unique arrangement. The dining table is everything in a dinner party, and its heart is the centerpiece. But don’t spend a lot on the decorations, instead, opt for inexpensive items. We love sprigs of lifelike berries and faux pines mixed with extraordinary bright poppies for a spin on beautiful holiday colors.

 

The Chef’s Table

The chef’s table is an exquisite setting for dinner parties. We recommend that you serve your signature dish in the main menu – that one dish that you’ve been perfecting for many years. Save yourself from the stress of trying to come up with something new that might even come out not as expected.
If you really want to experiment on it, then you can save it for dessert. And just in case it doesn’t turn out well, you can decide not to serve it and instead opt for great cookies from the bakery.

 

Giving Thanks

It is the gifting moment – the moment to appreciate your loved ones with tokens of love. Most guests’ welcome party favors, and getting them thoughtful ornaments or luxury candles is a great way to end the dinner party. This is a profound appreciation of coming together for the holiday celebration.
Please refer to our menu for desserts, tequila & drinks, dinner menu, and more. If you have any questions, comments, or queries, please contact us. Also, remember to check the other parts of our blog for insightful information.

The Six Most Popular Exit Stations for Private Events

If you’re planning a Sweet 16 or a Bar Mitzvah or other spectacular party, you already know that trends for these parties seem to change yearly, and you want everything to be perfect. One of the latest trends in parties is offering an exit station — one last treat or gift for your guests — before they leave. You can think of it as a final chance to wow your guests. Here’s a look at some of the most popular exit stations for private events.

 

Donuts

After a couple of hours of dancing, your guests will appreciate a good sugar buzz. You can set up a donut exit station that allows guests to choose their own flavors and box them or offer them already boxed donuts. Krispy Kreme can cater a small box of donuts with two treats per box. If you want to add a little something extra, you can offer individual containers of white and chocolate milk.

 

Hangover Kits

If you’re hosting a company party or birthday party for an adult and plan to have an open bar, then hangover kits make a great exit station. Use a small basket or other container and fill it with individually packaged Advil, Pepto Bismol, crackers, a protein bar, bottle of water, Visine, mouthwash, gum and mints. It’s everything someone might need the next morning after your fabulous party.

 

Boxed Meal

As a final goodbye and way to cap off an evening of fun, your exit station can be a boxed meal. For teens and kids, you might consider designing a box that resembles a happy meal. Inside the boxed meal, you can put in a couple of sliders and French fries or make it a healthy snack with fresh fruit and a container of yogurt. After a party, many guests stop on the way home for a quick bite, and this exit station sends them home full and happy.

 

Slippers

Up on their feet visiting with other guests and dancing to the beat, your guests’ feet are pretty sore at the end of the evening. You can give them a little comfort and pampering at the exit station. Set out a variety of warm, comfy slippers, including bunny slippers, plain slip-on, and bootie styles. It’s a good idea to provide an assortment of colors and sizes so each guest finds a pair that will help their tired feet rejuvenate on the ride home.

 

Candy

Who doesn’t love candy? Whether it’s chocolate covered nuts, caramel, or sour candies that make your lips pucker, everyone loves to find a candy bar as an exit station. You can design this exit station to look like a candy store filled with glass jars, scoops, and individually packaged candies. There are many options for guests to store their selected candies, such as bags, Chinese take-out cartons, boxes, and tins. It’s a gift that they can enjoy long after the party is over.

 

Milk and Cookies

There is not an age limit on loving milk and cookies. After warm soup and mac and cheese, it’s probably your favorite comfort food. As your exit station, you can send your friends home with a bag of warm cookies and an individual jug of milk to munch on the way home. You can offer a variety of flavors, including chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and peanut butter cookies.
A lot goes into planning the perfect party from guests lists to menus but it’s also a lot of fun. When it comes to exit stations, you can choose one that on trend or let your imagination soar to create one that reflects the person you’re throwing the party for.
