The holidays are a busy time of year for everyone and some dates will be much busier than others. Often a day during the week is much more convenient for your guests as well as offering better availability for event venues reservations.

3. Determine The Guest List

Knowing how many guests will be invited will be important to choose the size of your event venue and identify your budget per person. You don’t need a final guest count at first but you should have a ballpark range of how many guests are involved. Will you be inviting all employees to one event or hosting multiple holiday parties by department? Are spouses, families or plus ones invited? After you have received back your RSVPs you will be able to provide a final head count to your caterer or event venue and any other relevant vendors.

Notifying everyone as soon as possible will ensure the best turn out during the busy time of the year. After you’ve made reservations, make sure to communicate the party details to employees in advance. The holiday season can be busy, so if possible, give your employees at least a month’s notice of when the event will be, where it will be hosted, and what you will be doing. Then send out more formal invites about two weeks before the event.

6. Don’t Forget To Ask Event Attendees for Dietary Restrictions

Making plans in advance to accommodate holiday party guests’ dietary restrictions and any food allergies is very important.

This will allow you to determine how long your event will be. Don’t forget to allow at least 15 minutes for guests to arrive before you are seated or begin serving food, especially if you are hosting your holiday parties at an event venue. Having a welcome cocktail or reception is a great way to get the party started and still allow for guests who experience traffic delays common of this time of year.
