Top 5 tips to make your Christmas 2017 perfect

From Christmas lunch, dinners and party nights, get ready to celebrate in style this festive season with a party to remember. At Crowne Plaza Stratford, we cater for everyone.

Here are some top tips to help make your Christmas 2017 dream a reality!

1)     Plan - what do you want to gain from your Christmas holidays? Plan to ensure your prep is complete, from making a list of presents and who they are for, to purchasing your wrapping paper early and sending out your Christmas party invitations. Organise the night's activities to help you look cool, calm and collected as the event host.

2)     Ask for help - let everyone know what they can do to assist you in preparation for your successful Christmas. Most people love getting hands on and are ready to help, but make sure everyone you ask feels included and knows that they are having a positive impact. Tasks could include wrapping, getting party games ready, or even writing out cards and invites.

3)     Keep time for reflection - the holidays are a time to understand that family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and even strangers need a little love and comfort during the Christmas season. In our busy day to day lives, we often forget how others may be feeling.

4)     Remember to have fun - do what makes you happy and be considerate of others. Try to maintain healthy relationships with those around you, sharing festive food, drinks and stories around Christmas.

5)     Travel smart - if your event is in town, pack well and reduce travel hassles by checking into the Crowne Plaza Stratford. With ample space in our bedrooms for all your outfits, and function venues for any event, you can take the party home without going home.
