1. Add greenery to your display. Cut branches off the bottom of your Christmas tree and put them into your tablescape, or tie them to the back of your dining chairs with big bows.

2. Turn your place-card holders into takeaway items for guests as parting gifts. Try using a little potted plant or a small wrapped scented candle in a box with a bow.

3. Choose a sparkling napkin ring. It’ll add little extra shimmer to your table. Try tucking a small menu inside each one, so your guests can get excited for the meal to come.

4. Give your plates some glitz. Use a food safe paint that sets in the oven, and paint simple designs in gold around the edges of all white dishes.

5. Use different levels when displaying food. Set piles of books on a buffet or sideboard and cover them with a tablecloth. Place each of your serving dishes on different piles — the height will add interest and drama to your dinner party.

We all want the perfect holiday party, but because of schedules or the busyness of daily life, many wait to plan or book a holiday party until right near the holidays. With LULU Catering & Events, the perfect holiday party is within your grasp! Here are some reasons to book it now:

1. Better Attendance
​The earlier you set the date the better the turnout you’ll have at your party. During the busiest time of the year, it’s important to have your party details locked in early so your guests can plan around it.
​
Tip: Having your Christmas party in January is a great idea. This way everyone’s family parties & vacation time are over, you can kiss the Holidays goodbye and kick off the New Year!

2. Get What You Want
​Vendors and Venues fill up fast. And the best ones go first. The longer you wait to book, the less likely you will get the vendors you want for your party, especially on the date that you want.

Tip: Thursdays & Fridays are the most requested days for a business party. So make sure you reserve early for your venue of choice and any entertainment.

3. Pay Less & Stress Less
Planning a  party can be very stressful, especially if you wait until the last minute. Get everything done early and take a lot of pressure off yourself. This will mean you will have a lot more time to focus on fun things to do, and you will be more creative when it comes to the agenda, theme, decorations and even promotion of your now awesome Holiday Party! And as the old adage goes; the early bird catches the worm…a very nice discount for booking your holiday party NOW rather than later.

Tip: Most venues, catering and entertainment companies will offer discounts or a special package for booking early. This gives you more money to wisely spend on the decor, menu or….champagne!
