Cocktail parties are the most popular holiday party format in DFW. They are social, flexible and work in homes, offices and venues. The secret to a great one is the layout.
How Many Highboy Tables?
Plan one cocktail highboy table for every 8 to 10 guests. For 50 guests, that is about 5 to 6 tables. Add a few chairs along the walls for guests who need to sit.
Choosing Linens
Fitted spandex cocktail table cloths give a sleek, modern look. White feels bright and classic, black feels elegant and hides spills. For Christmas, add a red or gold sash.
The Bar
A bar table with a bartender from our event services keeps lines short. Keep extra ice in a large cooler.
Flow and Placement
- Place tables near the bar and food, not in doorways
- Leave a clear path from the entrance to the coat area
- Spread tables out so groups form naturally
Lighting and Music
Warm uplighting and low background music set the tone. A Bluetooth speaker works for homes; larger spaces need PA speakers.
