Planning a Christmas party can be a lot of fun if you're organized. There are many details to keep in mind--everything from food and drinks to party games. Here are some tips on how to throw a great Christmas party:

Send out festive invitations. Start your party out on the right foot with great invitations. You can buy Christmas-themed party invitations at card stores and party shops--or make your own by using old Christmas cards or printable templates and clip art from the Internet. If your party will be a casual affair, it is even acceptable to send out email invitations--just make sure that you include all of the pertinent party details.
Plan the menu. Whether it's a casual cocktail party or a fancy dinner party, the menu is one of the most important things that you should focus on. For a party where you will serve only appetizers and drinks, serve simple fare like a cheese and fruit tray, mini quiches and crackers and breadsticks with dip. If you're planning to serve a meal, go for buffet style make-ahead dishes like baked lasagna or ziti, a crock pot of meatballs and a big green salad. A desserts-only party should include decadent desserts and tarts--and don't forget the Christmas cookies!
Serve festive drinks. If you plan to serve cocktails at your party, look for some festive drink recipes. If bartending isn't your thing, have a self-serve bar available or mix up a big bowl of holiday punch. Peppermint-flavored martinis or a batch of spiked eggnog are always delicious options as well. Discount stores and supermarkets often sell tubs of mixable cocktails--you just add a bottle of spirits and put it in the freezer until party time. You can also keep it simple and just offer some red or white wine to your party guests. ...
