Holiday Party

Three ways for corporate to save money on this year's holiday party:

1. Skip the elaborate center piece. The center of a table may be left undecorated. Honestly, it may be! A table dressed with simple linen is always elegant. If a center piece must be used, try a single candle but know that even the candle is not a must for a corporate celebration.

2. Limit the bar. This is an excellent way to save and different methods may be used. For example, serve beer and wine only. Also serve for a limited amount of time such as having an open bar for the first hour or two. Then, close the bar for the remainder of the celebration. Finally, you can always not serve any liquor which is sure to be a great way to stay within budget.

3. Reserve venue space early. No surprises here. Early in the year venue selection is plentiful and sometimes less expensive.

With that, the more time allotted for organizing a corporate party the better. Planning is key.
