Your Hosting Checklist for the Perfect Holiday Party

Your Hosting Checklist for the Perfect Holiday Party

Kathy Kuo Home 3:42 pm

There’s no shortage of holiday parties to attend come December, and when it’s your turn to play holiday hostess, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Success requires much more than setting up an egg nog station and putting on some Mariah Carey. Luckily, we put together our top tips to help you host the party of the season, including all of the great finds from our Holiday Shop.


Holiday Party Tip 1. Provide a Warm Welcome

When your guests arrive, give them a warm welcome (and a taste of your great style) by creating a stunning entryway. Your guests should feel like they’ve reached a welcoming and festive place from the moment they walk through the front door.

Start by styling your door: a wreath and lights are a simple way to set a festive tone. Then continue your spirited aesthetic by placing a gorgeous pedestal table in the entryway. Decorative sculptures in a glittering silver and gold paired with seasonal flowers and holiday decor are always a mix.

Holiday Party Tip 2. “Can I Get You a Drink?”

A good holiday hostess or host knows that a guest needs something to sip on after they’ve settled in. Instead of running back and forth from the kitchen to grab beverages, set up a bar cart that will provide easy access to refreshments. Keep it fully stocked with a variety of liquors, mixers, and a signature holiday cocktail! Make your holiday bar cart memorable with beautiful decor and ornaments.

Holiday Party Tip 3. Out With The Hors D’Oeuvres

Beautiful trays and serving platters are a must-have on any holiday hosting checklist. Tiered serving trays are great for small snacking or dessert options, and going for that chic marble cheese board will give your food presentation wow factor (not to mention its Insta-potential). Pro tip: white plus golds makes for an elegant color story that also reads holiday.

Holiday Party Tip 4. Tasteful Serveware

Whether you’re serving up a five course meal or some appetizers with cocktails, serveware is something you do not want to be short on. Set your party apart with festive flatware and serving utensils in gold and copper tones. The elegant metallic touch will make the event feel extra special and looks perfect for the holidays.
