That\u2019s why you need to make concrete decisions regarding what you\u2019d like to see from your own. How many people do you plan to invite? Are you providing all food and drinks? Is there a set beginning and end time? Is there a gift exchange? Are children allowed? All of these questions and more need to be answered ahead of time.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Make the Party\u2019s Essential Elements Known to your Guests<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re having a relatively subdued party, the person who shows up dressed as a Christmas tree is going to feel like a schmuck. Conversely, if you\u2019re planning an up-til-dawn throwdown, the person who brings their kids will probably disappear before the first cork pops. When sending invites, make any themes, expectations or important details known.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Delegate Whenever Possible<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever been to a party where it was apparent that one person did all the work? And if so, did it seem like this person was having a good time? Not likely. If you\u2019d like to have a good time at your own party &#8212; which, we\u2019re guessing, you would &#8212; it\u2019s crucial that you get help with certain facets. Put people in charge of taking coats, picking the music, cleaning up plates and glasses, and coordinating any games or gift exchanges that might be taking place.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Put Out Nametags<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re being serious here. In all likelihood, not everyone at your soiree will know each other. While this certainly isn\u2019t a problem, it might make for awkward interactions that could easily be avoided. Some people might think, \u201cThat\u2019s tacky.\u201d But believe us, those same jamokes will be pretty happy that they didn\u2019t make the mistake of calling Jim from accounting \u201cJohn\u201d all night.<\/p>\n<h3>5) Set a Rough Schedule<\/h3>\n<p>A Christmas party generally can be broken down into disparate parts: the early cocktail hour, the portion where food is served, the gift exchange, and then the later hours when games are played and\/or dancing occurs. While a strict docket is unnecessary and foolish, a rough idea of when you\u2019d like certain events to kick off is wise.<\/p>\n<p>Are there any tips that we\u2019ve forgotten, or things that you\u2019ve tried in the past that seem to work for your party?
