3 Reasons You Should Start Holiday Planning Now

Holiday Planning

By: Natalie Dedas, Sales & Events Coordinator

There are 80 days to be even more exact,  6,847,112 seconds from the moment I wrote this sentence in this blog post. Not that I’m counting. If that’s not motivation to start your holiday party planning, I don’t know what is!

With the holiday season right around the corner, it is the ideal time to begin your holiday party planning.

1. Availability Let’s face it. A lot of people, especially in the corporate biz, have stressed over last minute holiday party planning. Either their preferred venue is booked up, their preferred date is long gone, the caterer is booked solid, the list goes on… It’s always a good idea to begin planning early to capture the ideal date for everyone’s schedules in the office. The longer you wait, the slimmer your window will be. Not to mention it’s NCAA Basketball season, and if you live in Louisville, that’s a big deal. Save yourself the agony, and get a head’s start! Everyone in the office will thank you for it later.
2. Entertainment This is your holiday party! You’re in charge of making sure this gathering is top-notch. It is the one party of the year where everyone in the office can let loose, enjoy themselves and start an impromptu karaoke party. Entertainment is important and it is definitely the one department you do not want to put on the back burner. Whether it’s a band or DJ, these vendors book up fast for this time of year and you don’t want to be responsible for a poor musical act because you waited to start planning. Vendors such as valet parking and photo booths- popular services to have at Christmas parties, also have peak seasons in booking during this time of year.
3. Because Christmas is Everything. Need we say more? It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

The Ice House, in conjunction with Crushed Ice Catering, has come up with the perfect all inclusive Holiday Celebration Package. The best part? The venue fee is included! This package is priced per person, it couldn’t make budgeting any easier!
