The holiday season is here, and at-home parties are trending this year. Besides being easy on the wallet, these get-togethers are fun and flexible because you need not worry about the venue rules and time limits. Your guests can stay as long as they want. Moreover, you can make the celebrations even better with outside-the-box décor, food, themes, and entertainment. A little creativity and planning are enough to host a memorable party for your friends and loved ones. Let us share some unconventional party ideas worth trying this holiday season.
Host a potluck
A potluck party is an ideal option for hosts running short of time and funds. The best part is that no one minds bringing a dish or two for the celebrations. But hosting a perfect potluck get-together takes some planning as you need to ensure that everyone gets a different dish. Discuss the menu with the guests beforehand so that they are on the same page. It prevents duplication and makes the event all the more exciting.
Pick an unconventional theme
A theme party is another idea worth trying if you want to take the celebrations a notch higher. But think beyond retro and festive themes this season. You can get your creativity flowing or research some out-of-the-box themes on the internet. A brainstorming session with your friends is also a good way to find one. For example, you may host an indoor pool beach-theme party by asking the guests to arrive in beachwear under the winter layers. Crank up the heat for an incredible beach experience in your living room.
Integrate cannabis into your party
A 420-themed get-together can make Christmas all the more exciting this year. But you must invite only like-minded guests to the party. Check the legal regulations regarding consumption age to stay on the safe side. Plan a menu and be ready to flaunt your culinary skills with cannabis. Also, invest in the necessary tools for your guests, even if you expect them to bring their own accessories. You can check King’s Pipe to buy tools for all skill levels. Consider giving a glass dab rig as a party gift to make the occasion more memorable.
Try DIY entertainment
You can try DIY entertainment to take your holiday get-togethers to the next level. Of course, you must stick with the basics like music, dance, and card games. Try a DIY craft evening or plan a makeover game for your living room. Consider asking your guests to follow a potluck concept with entertainment. They may actually bring some unique ideas you may have never heard of before.
Arrange a staycation
Traveling with your friends or loved ones is another great way to celebrate the holidays. But you can imagine the cost of hosting a trip. However, you need not give up on the idea because a staycation at your place is good enough to replicate the vacation feel. You can even set up a campsite in your living room to accommodate everyone if you are short of space. Arrange plenty of food and in-house entertainment for a memorable staycation.
Think beyond the conventional drink-and-dine events this holiday season, and try these ideas to host a party everyone will surely love. The best part is that you can plan them without breaking the bank.
Those all sound like great ideas to celebrate the holidays.
