Christmas is all about enjoying time with your family and friends and having a jolly good time!<\/span><\/p>\n

All the team here at Red Masque LOVE this time of year and eagerly await the jingle of bells and the ho, ho, ho of the big man himself- Mr Santa Claus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throwing a party should be an enjoyable experience and what better way to celebrate than with some fun Christmas event entertainment<\/a>. But we can\u2019t forget the mistletoe of course!<\/span><\/p>\n

To make sure you don\u2019t get bogged down with all the boring stuff, we\u2019ve put together the ultimate guide to hosting the perfect Christmas Party. So sit back, relax, and here are 6 top tips for hosting a stress-free, FUN event:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t try to be too complex on the dinner menu<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to food, it all depends on what kind of party you are throwing. Is it a sit-down meal or simply a buffet-style one? Casual cocktail parties tend to be the easiest and guests can just help themselves to finger foods.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Send the invites out nice and early<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas can be a busy time in the social calendar, so to ensure your party is well attended and has a lively atmosphere, send out your guest\u2019s invitations well in advance. Include the date, time and venue and if you need to know numbers for booking food, ask for a RSVP.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. As Santa would say, make a list and check it twice\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Make a list. It\u2019s a fantastic way to stay up-to-date with what needs to be done and it can remind you of all the little jobs that often go amiss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are bound to be things that don\u2019t quite go to plan, but if you have a list and you have checked it twice, it can give you some peace of mind that all aspects are taken care of accordingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Make the venue pretty and all that jazz<\/span><\/p>\n

What better way to get all your guests in the mood for a fun-filled evening than with Christmas themed<\/a> decorations? The bigger the better we say.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not adorn the venue with cute reindeers, snowmen and a Narnia-inspired lamp post that comes complete with fake snow? And what about featuring an elaborate wooden throne as a truly eye-catching piece of furniture for your guests to sit on?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about the most important piece of decor though- the tree!<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The Drinks<\/span><\/p>\n

No Christmas party is complete without refreshment for your guests. It\u2019s always best to get both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and a wide range to choose from for both adults and children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure you have enough glassware, ice and cocktail napkins and always buy more just in case your guest brings a plus one!<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Keep your guests thoroughly entertained<\/span><\/p>\n
