Tips for organizing Christmas and New Year's
There are many ideas to ensure the success of your Christmas or New Year's party. Examples of this are the numerous inspirations that appear on social media and websites at the end of the year. There are countless tips on decorations, dishes, and more. However, it's necessary to understand what is appropriate for each situation and also to be organized to avoid delays.
To help you with this task, we've listed some simple tips that can be applied to ensure a successful Christmas and New Year.
Advance Planning
Start planning well in advance. Keep in mind that during the end-of-year period, in addition to families and friends organizing Christmas and New Year's parties, companies are also holding get-togethers. Therefore, planning and anticipation are essential to secure venue rentals, equipment, and food orders.
To ensure this, make to-do lists, set a budget, and define important dates. This will not only alleviate stress but also allow you to enjoy the festivities more.
Innovative decoration even on traditional dates.
Get creative with your decor by mixing traditional elements with modern touches. Use smart LED lights, which can be controlled via apps, to create a personalized atmosphere. Additionally, create DIY decorations with the whole family, making your home unique and full of meaning.
Customized menu for Christmas and New Year's
Christmas and New Year's are dates that always bring traditional dishes like rice with lentils, nuts, roast pork, and others. But it's also possible to surprise guests with a personalized menu that caters to all tastes. Innovate by adding a special touch, such as vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free options.
Consider also creating an interactive buffet, where guests can assemble their favorite dishes, and innovate with appetizers and charcuterie boards, introducing new foods and presentations.
Opt for personalized gifts.
Escape the conventional gifts and opt for something personalized. Create DIY gifts, such as themed baskets or photo albums, that demonstrate the care and attention dedicated to each person. Additionally, use personalized packaging and cards to give each gift a unique touch.
Develop interactive activities.
Now that you're going to focus on unique and personalized gifts, also think about ways to interact when giving those gifts. The goal is to create a moment of joy and affection between family and friends.
Furthermore, it's also worthwhile to organize interactive activities that involve all participants. Board games, for example, or a group effort to decorate the Christmas tree are traditional in other countries and can be included in your Christmas or New Year's celebrations.
For those who don't want to organize Christmas and New Year's at home.
There are also those who prefer practicality and choose to celebrate dates like Christmas and New Year's in a good restaurant or event space. One option is renting spaces at the Center Convention, located in the Mercure Uberlândia Plaza Shopping Hotel, which comfortably accommodate smaller groups.
Furthermore, the public can also count on the Food and Beverage team, which develops a special and exclusive menu. Finally, for those who choose to celebrate in a fine dining restaurant in a welcoming atmosphere, Clementina Bar e Ristoranti, which, like the Center Convention and Mercure Uberlândia, is part of the Center Shopping Complex, operates normally on Christmas and New Year's Day.
