With Southern Events...

When the holidays hit, we are all faced with one thing – well besides decorating and gift giving; Hostessing and all that goes with providing fabulous food and entertainment during the holidays. And whether you are hosting your entire family around the table or are in charge of the company Christmas soiree – you are going to possibly need some help planning these holiday events! Don’t go it alone when right here in Williamson County, you have specialty event rental and planning experts Southern Events to help you out! Good thing we were lucky to have them share with us their Southern Holiday Style Guide this year! So, hostesses – 1,2, 3 – GO!

One of the keys to throwing a successful holiday party (and not throwing your sanity out of the window), is proper preparation. If you’ve ever hosted a holiday party before, you probably had lists upon lists of all the things you needed to do to get ready. And many times, you may still feel like you’re scrambling trying to get things done at the last minute. The truth is, it is completely possible to host a stress-free holiday party. And we’re talking about anything from an intimate holiday dinner to a large formal gala. Check out our tips below for holiday party must-haves.

If you’re hosting a holiday luncheon, chances are you’ll be inviting co-workers, peers, and people you may want to network with. That’s why you’ll want the event to feel approachable, yet still have a formal holiday vibe. In order to achieve this, you’ll want to have coordinating linens such as our Champagne Sequin Linen, Chafing Dishes, and Copper Beverage Service that to give your holiday party a festive feel.

The holidays are a great time to celebrate in a big way and a grand gala is just the way to thank VIP clients or your team for all they contribute to your company’s success. If you’re hosting a large and formal company holiday party, there are a few items you’ll want to make sure you include. A red carpet entrance area sets the scene (we can do any color carpet!) and cocktail and bistro tables are a must for mingling. We also recommend having formal place settings with china, chargers and plenty of glassware for toasting the year past and ahead.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate holiday luncheon or a large and festive gala with hundreds of attendees, Southern Events has distinct rentals and personalized service to help you pull off a stress-free holiday event! Along with the checklists we have created for you to use, online quotes, showroom appointments, and detailed phone calls can make executing any event a jolly affair!
