Holiday Parties for Work & Family

You’ve found a date and you have a few parties lined up. Bringing a date to the office holiday party OR the family Christmas party can go really good, or really bad. Here are some tips to make it the best holiday party you’ve been to. Bringing a date to a work or family holiday party will have a different vibe for each. Typically, a work function is a bit more formal and conservative, whereas a family party is going to be more casual and laid back. Before going to any party make sure you communicate with your date what the event will be like:

• Tell your date who will be there, so they’ll know what to expect from the event; either a serious room of managers or a casual group atmosphere of family and friends.
• Let them know the dress attire. Should they get all “glammed” up with an evening gown or a suit, or will jeans and a nice top suffice. Having you and your date being overdressed or underdressed can be the beginning of a bad night.
• Will there be dinner served or just cocktails? Let your date know ahead of time so they can prepare. A hungry date, can usually lead to a cranky date.
• Make sure you introduce your date to your co-workers and family. Make your date a part of the party. Don’t ignore her/him while you talk about the latest office/family gossip.
• If you’re going to a family party, don’t go empty handed. Bring a nice small gift. Either a nice bottle of wine wrapped up in a bow or fresh cut flowers with a simple Happy Holiday greeting!
