Temperatures are dropping, the days are getting shorter, and holiday displays have already started to pop up at your favorite stores. You know what this means…holiday party season is here! Whether it’s a Santa Speedo Run, a holiday fundraiser, or an all night rager to ring in the new year, there are literally hundreds of different ways you can celebrate. If you’re thinking of throwing a seasonal soiree, you’re in luck! Here are our favorite reasons to play party planner this season.
1. You can stay at home. If the party is at your house (or the venue of your choosing), you can have all of your friends and family members come to you. Avoid party hopping — just sit back, relax, and invite all of the people you want to see this holiday season!
Don’t want to leave your cozy quarters? You don’t have to!
2. Pick the perfect playlist. Want the playlist to just be Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas’ on repeat all night? It’s your party, you can do what you want to – you’re the DJ!
Make your dream playlist a reality!
3. Make your own menu. Do you have unique dietary needs? Just want to go nuts on a theme (red and green foods, ONLY!)? When you’re the host, you get to make the menu!
4. Avoid inclement weather (and driving conditions). Driving in the snow and ice is a huge bummer, and trying to hail a cab is just as bad. Save money on chains for your tires and taxi fare. Also, no need to mess with commuting snow boots while you carry around your ‘party’ shoes in a bag.
5. Regift your hostess presents. It’s totally ok to give away all of those lovely bottles of wine you got as a hostess gift! Less time spent holiday shopping and more time watching re-runs of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’
6. Party in your PJs. Kind of over the standard holiday attire? Wear what you’re comfortable in — be it jeans, sweatpants or a full blown Snuggie.
7. No babysitter needed! Pop the kids in bed and shimmy downstairs — no need to pay for a babysitter!
8. You know where the extra bathrooms are. No waiting in obnoxious lines, you know where the upstairs bathroom is.
9. Party foul? Spilled a little crab dip on your winter whites? A change of clothes is just ten steps away!
10. Your house, your rules. Need we say more?
