Party Planning Technique: Decors for the Holidays

Decorating for the holidays has never been as frustrating as it has these recent years. With the emergence of different lights, different types of effects, even differently dressed Santa Claus statues, a host would be well pressed to present an impressive décor during a season when everyone sees red and green.

The holiday season is usually bedecked in fake snow, jack frosts, Christmas trees, Christmas socks and candy canes; it's no wonder nothing surprises anyone anymore.

To catch the awe, if not just the ooh of your guests this Christmas, here are a few tips to prod you on your way towards a Christmas party décor that would be the envy of your guests.

- Instead of using the usual flowers and acorns, place a few colored glass tree ornaments inside a clear bowl and pile them as high as they’ll go, use this as a centerpiece.

- Choose a color theme that is not green and red for your party. Green and red is overdone during Christmas. You can use gold, silver, or any metallic color with red to add a little zest to the décor.

- Have invitations in the same color as the décor or theme. Although a simple phone call invitation will do, nothing beats a well written and well decorated invitation.

- For a grand entrance, wrap the door in Christmas paper, and tie a great big bow around it. If a big bow isn’t available a wreath in the middle should do.

- Sprinkle glitter on blank surfaces that won’t necessarily come into contact with people, on top of mantles, on the Christmas tree, bathroom countertops, the buffet table; the sky is the limit.

- Give a small gift to each guest, it doesn’t have to be expensive, just something to remember. Cookies designed with the names of the guest would make for a good place card cookie.

- Place lit candles all around the room. Vary the sizes and have the colors match the décor. The turn off all the lights except for those on the Christmas tree; this’ll give an illuminated as well as a cozy look.

- Have simple decorations in every room that the guests will enter; small candles inside the bathroom, a small wreath at the coat room, mini Christmas trees in the kitchen. Have all décor in your theme color so that there’ll be continuity.
