Hosting a holiday party can be stressful, but with the right planning and a little help, it can be a memorable experience for everyone. Here are our best suggestions, including our mobile bar catering service ;), to take the stress out of your event so you can focus on enjoying the festivities.
1. Create a Signature Cocktail A unique cocktail can set the tone for your party. Our expert bartenders can create a custom drink that reflects your personal style and preferences. For a colorful option, consider a Red Pomegranate Margarita and a festive Green Cocktail.
2. Let Mobile Bar Catering Pros Handle the Food & Drinks Our mobile bar catering service offers a variety of beverage options, from mocktails, wine, cocktails and other beverages. Bring in one of our preferred Bay Area caterers to take care of the food so you can focus on your guests.
3. Plan Your Holiday Party Ahead The key to a successful holiday party is planning ahead. Make a list of everything you need to do, from sending invitations to setting up the space. We love using a Google spreadsheet to keep track of the details and keep a manageable timeline.
4. Accommodate Dietary Restrictions Be mindful of your guests’ dietary restrictions and preferences. In your beverages, be sure to include mocktails and other non-alcoholic beverages. For dining, offer a variety of options through a caterer like Continental Caterers that can accommodate multiple diets including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices.
5. Create a Welcoming Atmosphere Make your guests feel at home with thoughtful touches like comfortable seating, soft lighting, and background music. No one likes to stand for the entire party. Most rooms look best with a party layout that includes standing cocktail tables, seated furniture and classic tables and chairs for mixing and mingling. A full service caterer like Cafe Primavera can provide rental items making them your one stop shop for all rentals and food!
6. Incorporate Traditions Ask your guests about their favorite holiday traditions and incorporate them into your party. Sometimes this will look like Grandma’s special punch. Or maybe it is a type of glass that has a special meaning. Including details like this can create a more personalized and meaningful experience.
With a little planning and the help of our mobile bar catering service and other industry pros, you can host a memorable holiday party that your guests will love.
