5 Tips for Throwing a Perfect Holiday Party

Pick a theme. When planning your holiday party, it’s important to think of a theme or idea to base your party around. The theme can be vague or specific – anything from a color scheme to a certain holiday song – but it will give your party direction and tie everything together! Make sure to stay consistent with your theme throughout the planning so that your party doesn’t look overwhelming. At The Corner District, clients have the freedom and creativity to decorate our North Georgia wedding and event venue with your holiday vision. Your theme will help personalize your party + create photo opportunities your guests will love!
Make invitations. At our charming Georgia event venue, your guests are sure to feel classy and chic at your party! You can add to this style by sending out invitations instead of spreading news of your party by word-of-mouth. Invitations are a great way to introduce your theme and give your guests any important information that could be easily forgotten, like if they are to dress according to the theme. Make sure to send your invitations in a timely manner since the holiday seasons fill up fast! We recommend mailing your initiations out six weeks prior to the date, or four to five weeks for emailing invitations.
Plan ahead. Nothing is worse than getting bored or feeling uncomfortable at a party. Make sure you plan activities ahead of time to keep your guests engaged and having fun! You don’t have to plan every minute – your guests will enjoy flexibility and having time to lounge around and talk – but make sure to have activities set aside for when you and your guests are ready. If you decide to have a more structured, activity-filled party, make sure you set aside time for snaking and talking.
Create a playlist. A great way to add to the party mood or complement your theme is to create a playlist before the party. Similar to a wedding, music will help set the tone and get the party started. If you aren’t planning on playing music the whole time, consider playing it as your guests arrive and are waiting for everyone to get there. Remember to make sure your playlist fits your party! A great way to ensure your guests will love your playlist is to ask them to give a song suggestion with their RSVP.
Make it interactive. At The Corner District, we know that the most memorable parties are those with interactive elements. Photo booths are a great hit and an adorable + fun way for your guests to remember your event! Another trend we love seeing are food bars. Whether it’s popcorn, hot chocolate, or dessert bars, guests love getting to pick-and-choose and create their own special! We loving seeing how party hosts get creative at The Corner District to plan a unique and interactive holiday party that guests are sure to remember!

As the holiday season quickly approaches, ensure you consider the essential elements for your holiday party to guarantee your party is better than last year’s! Whether it’s a party for your colleagues, friends or family, The Corner District is the perfect place to host the ultimate holiday party! Inquire here for more details and pricing information.

It’s always exciting to see your work get published! Our Georgia event venue was recently featured on The Celebration Society‘s blog for a fun and girly styled shoot inspired by the 80s and all things pink! See some of our favorite photos in the Styled Shoot Gallery.

Details behind the Georgia event venue’s Pretty in Pink Party inspiration:

“Explore a softer side of the 80s with this perfectly pretty party inspiration. Wrapped up in a palette of sweet pinks and dazzling gold, the scene boasted vintage decor with bits of sparkle and tulle, delicate florals by Rhapsody in Blooms and desserts by Sugar Sugar Cakes providing a lovely feminine touch. So whether you’re planning a Sweet Sixteen or a Bat Mitzvah, look no further for this girly party inspiration by Irene Tyndale Events! Photos by Kelly Anne Photography.”

Before The Corner District became a Georgia wedding and venue, we were once a wedding planning studio, full of our favorite Georgia wedding vendor friends. Our venue was filled with wedding inspiration, vendor products and services and styled vignettes. When we cleared out the space and opened our doors for weddings and events, we wanted our vendors to still have the ability to use the space as their playground – designing shoots and building inspiration for their most adventurous clients. And this group of vendors did just that!

Use this Pretty in Pink Party inspiration for a Sweet 16, Quinceanera, Bat Mitzvah or bridal shower. Our amazing vendors that helped pull it off are as follows:
