How To Host An Elevated Holiday Dinner Party 

Theme and Decor: Create a cohesive theme for your Holiday dinner party, whether it’s a winter wonderland, rustic charm, or modern elegance. Coordinate your decorations, including table settings, centrepieces, and lighting, to align with the chosen theme. —Michelle Raymond

Personalized Place Cards: Craft personalized place cards for each guest, incorporating their names with a a sprig of berries, holly or pine for a natural and festive touch. These little touches add a sense of warmth and thoughtfulness to the table setting. Paperless post offers beautiful invitations and options to personalize.

Signature Sips: Design a signature cocktail that embodies the spirit of the holiday season. Offer a non-alcoholic version as well to cater to all guests. Serve these cocktails in stylish glassware for an extra touch of elegance and add a garnish that fits the decor.

Gourmet Menu: Plan a gourmet menu that combines traditional holiday favourites and elevate the experience with wine pairings! Add a beautiful menu card matching the design of the invitation to each place setting for a personal touch.

Much Music: Elevate the ambiance with a thoughtful playlist. Instrumental, Jazz, or acoustic versions of holiday favourites can add a sophisticated, touch. Begin cocktail hour with music that evokes a relaxed vibe and as the night progresses, gradually introduce livelier rhythms to energize the atmosphere. Once dinner is finished, surprise your guests with acoustic renditions of familiar songs to add a sense of nostalgia.

Heartfelt Adieu: As the last notes of the holiday tunes linger and the warmth of good company fills the air, consider a final touch to send your guests off with a heartwarming gift. Whatever feels authentic and right to you, Perhaps it is a meaningful gift or a handwritten card expressing your gratitude for them in your life or perhaps it is sharing a few special words. Whatever you choose just remember, there is no greater gift than the gift of your full presence to make each person feel truly special!
