‘Tis the Season to Celebrate. Secrets to Hosting a Last Minute Holiday Party.


The holiday season is coming up quickly, and there’s a lot of pressure to host a great party. We get how easy it is to forget, or get too busy. You don’t have to stress though– there’s still time to plan a holiday party that people will be talking about for years with some helpful tips from the pros here at SHW.
You can still get the perfect date, even at the last minute
You’d be surprised that several venues still have availability in December so don’t hesitate to ask hot spots in your area. You can also explore doing a holiday luncheon instead of an evening event and inquire about other time slots on prime dates to host. If December dates are full at your favorite venue, look into January dates. Hosting a holiday party in January to kick off the New Year is becoming more popular since it doesn’t compete with guests’ holiday schedules and the holiday party rush.


Use an event planning company. They do this all day, everyday, and have the inside scoop on the best places to throw a party and the connections to lock in prime dates. Take advantage of their deep industry relationships and experience to make holiday party procrastinators into heroes.
