Whether you’re planning your first holiday gathering or you’re a seasoned host, throwing a successful bash relies on creativity and a solid plan. DIY expert and party planning personality Brit Morin will talk tips for planning unique and unforgettable seasonal gatherings.
From start to finish, Brit will talk about her most creative (yet super simple) tricks to bring a holiday party to life. Brit’s checklist will include:
• Make it Your Own – Find or create a pattern and repeat it throughout your party elements. If you go with something simple like triangles, use triangles in your decorative garlands, invites, table settings and more.
• Trust in PB&J: Photo Booth and Jams, of course! Set up a photo booth for selfies or a full tripod setup. Make sure your playlist is poppin' and your photos will rock.
• Surprise Your Guests: Every party should have something that leaves a lasting memory. Make the best goodie bag ever and send guests home with travel essentials like ear plugs, headache medicine and bottled water. Or use an old sweater to create koozies for your mugs.
• Serve Up Snacks: Simple, delicious recipes are a life-saver. And a long evening of festivities means late night snacks are a must. Try Chex™ Party Mix recipes for delicious crowd-pleasing snacks that can be made in 15 minutes in the microwave.
