Tips for Throwing a Blowout Holiday Party
December is the perfect time to gather your friends and family and throw a big holiday blowout in your home or in one of our amenity spaces. But obviously, between cooking, decorating, and just preparing, doing so can be a lot of work. Thankfully, we have partners who can take away a lot of the pain of party planning, allowing you to just sit back, relax and enjoy yourself.
The holiday menu at Citarella
Cater Your Party with Citarella
Not sure what to cook for your party? Or rather, don't want to cook anything? Thankfully, Citarella is there to cater a complete menu for you and your guests. Their holiday menu is chock full of classic meals – prime rib roast, roasted goose, latkes, matzoh ball soup, and even a roasted whole suckling pig – as well as more unusual dishes that might just be a massive hit like baked clams, ceviche, and sautéed sea scallops. Your guests will be sure to be impressed (and if you put the dishes on your own china, you may even fool them into thinking you made everything yourself).
The Delicata Kale Salad and Couscous & Apples from the Culinistas.
Hire a Personal Chef from The Culinistas
If you really want to pull out the stops, why not hire a personal chef? The Culinistas makes it easy to hire a chef to come to your home (or the amenity space kitchen you've rented) to create a delicious, holiday meal. Not only will the chef cook for you, he or she will also do all the meal prep and cleaning, so you don't have to worry about a thing (and as an added incentive, Related residents receive a special price on their first order. Check it out here).
The hygge holiday decorations from Social Studies.
Decorate with Social Studies
Now that you've got the food for your party taken care of, you'll need decorations that are worthy of it. That's where Social Studies come in; the company rents out completely curated tablescapes that will transform your table into a beautiful and festive space, complete with place settings, menus, place cards, runners, flowers and much more. We think their Hygge Holiday tablescape is beyond adorable if you're sticking to the theme, but they've also recommended different tablescapes for our amenity spaces in case you're looking for less seasonal decor (Related residents save on Social Studies rentals as well; check it out here).
