Planning Your Own Affair

Ultimate Affairs' Holiday Planning Tips

ORGANIZATION IS KEY Give yourself time to create a menu from which you make a shopping list. Décor, entertainment, its attention to detail that makes the difference. Allow plenty of time to prepare for your party, make a list and shop smart. When party-time approaches things may become hectic! So stay organized.

ULTIMATE HORS D'OEUVRES Choose your snacks carefully. Try setting a theme for the food in each room or on each table. This will help your party “flow”. Allow 4 to 6 hot hors d'oeurves per person. Be cautious with gooey, drippy sauces near expensive rugs or furniture. Keep some carpet cleaner on hand, just in case.

ULTIMATE KEEP-IT-COOL IDEA Planning on serving plenty of ice cold beer or soda? Forget about filling your refrigerator or cooler, use your washing machine! Put a few bags of ice and in the washer and then fill the tub with beer and soda. You'll save room and emptying the melted ice will be a breeze and mess free!

ULTIMATE MOMENTO Help make the party memorable, having a guest book can be much fun! Don't be afraid to put out a guest book and invite your guests to sign a page. You can take pictures from the party and add them at a later date or if you have the equipment, print add attach to the appropriate page. This is a fun activity for some guests to help you with.

ULTIMATE TOUCHES
Don’t forget a room everyone is going to see, the bathroom. Add a scented candle. Leave an extra roll of toilet tissue in easy view. Offer your guests mouthwash by pouring your favourite brand into a whisky decanter....much prettier than a plastic bottle!

AN AFFAIR YOU'LL REMEMBER Try to not knock yourself out to make the party perfect. With the first ring of the door bell, take a deep breath and switch from “work” mode to “party” mode. The best hosts and hostesses are ones that relax and mingle with the guests. After all, it’s the holidays! That alone should bring warmth to everyone’s hearts and smiles to everyone’s faces.
