One of the best things about this time of year is all of the
holiday parties. Whether you are planning a large party or just having a few
friends over, there are very easy ways to add your personal style to your
party. Today on My Carolina Today I shared my favorite tips for making your holiday party stand
out from the rest.
Make Your Mark
·
Decorative Glass Markers: Let’s be
honest, you’re sick of using the same old wine glass markers and the thought of
spending $20-50 on a new set is just irritating. Here’s an idea – why not
repurpose holiday window clings? Those
gel window clings you see at the store for $1-2 make the perfect stay-put wine
glass marker and for just a few bucks you can buy more than you’ll ever
need. You can have fun by decorating
each glass before guests arrive, or let them get creative and pick their own
designs.
Fun with Food
·
Snowballs: When you are setting your
party menu, choose foods that you can have fun with. Powdered doughnut holes
make the perfect Snowballs for any winter party and can be served on a plate,
bowl or even a cute vase. You can add an extra special twist to your glasses by
putting a doughnut hole on each straw. Your imagination is your only limit.
Grab and Go
·
Shrimp Cocktail Shots: Shrimp Cocktail
is an easy crowd pleaser at any party, but how boring is a plain plate of shrimp?!
Why not create individual Shrimp Cocktail Shots? All you need are plastic shot
glasses with a dab of cocktail sauce in each and a shrimp on top. Not only are
these absolutely adorable, they are an ideal snack for mingling because your
guest can grab a glass and go.
·
Hot Cocoa Kit: To make your holiday
party unforgettable, never send your guests home empty handed. A small favor or
a Grownup Hot Cocoa Kit are easy ways to thank your guests for coming. The Hot
Cocoa Kit is made up of a small mason jar, cocoa mix, mini marshmallows and a
mini bottle of Irish Cream. Simply add the cocoa mix to the mason jar, top it
with marshmallows and tie on a bottle of Bailey’s. Your guest will be reminiscing
about your party the next night over their hot cocoa.
Whether you go all out or include one small personal touch,
make your party your own. A personalized party will mean more to you and your
guests. Happy Holidays!
