Engage Team • January 25, 2019

1. Be willing to play with the date

If you’re late getting started, it’s OK. It happens. Be flexible and have a few back up dates when you call us. By doing so, if your first choice is unavailable, you can select another date and be able to lock your date in. We can often accommodate even last-minute requests and assist you in getting started right away.

2. Let the professionals do their job2. Let the professionals do their job

Planning a holiday can require a great deal of time, effort and imagination with many things to consider in making your event memorable. That’s what we do every day. When you use a professional caterer like The Forum, we can help to make things easier and less stressful. Lean on our expertise especially when you have little time to get things done.

3. Have fun food

You will likely have all types of eaters, so consider doing a buffet, food stations or fun comfort foods instead of a served meal. Make it an easy, light affair where your guests will enjoy the cuisine and also want to mix and mingle. When having great food is must, you know we’ve got you covered.

4. Sometimes less is more

Chill out in the décor. Most venues have some holiday décor so that doesn’t need to be a huge part of your budget. We can offer linens in line with your vision. If you at having a party at home or at the office, choose simple festive décor with lights, garlands, votive and even poinsettias.

5. Pump up the volume!

Have great music. Even if you don’t have a DJ or band, it’s pretty easy to create your own playlist and spin tunes everyone will enjoy. At The Forum, we can even pipe in music for you.

Hope this helps you. These are just a few ideas. If you need more help planning your holiday party, we’d love to assist you.
