How Do You Make a Party Unique?
Deciding to put together a holiday party is just the first step. Next, you’ll want to consider ways to make this gathering unique. One easy way to do just that is to consider booking a unique holiday venue in Fort Lauderdale. Rather than hosting a drab get-together at home or a restaurant, why not embrace the beautiful waters of the city and make the Intracoastal Waterway your party venue? With Charter One Yachts, you can do exactly that.
There are other ways of making your party special. Oprah.com suggests being “brave” with the guest list, inviting a diverse group of people of different ages, backgrounds, and jobs to come together and celebrate. Don’t forget to give guests designated roles during the party—maybe a social friend can be the designated greeter, for example, making sure that everyone feels welcome as you come together. Setting the mood with decor and fun holiday music is also a good idea as you put together the best party possible.
What’s the Best Day to Have a Party?
The holiday season is a busy time of year for many of us, with competing obligations, work, school, travel, and other social events cramming our calendars. That’s why it’s good to think through the best day to have a party, especially after determining the place for a Fort Lauderdale holiday party. Keep in mind that weekends can be packed for many possible guests, so if your invite list is all local, consider planning on a Thursday evening gathering that won’t interfere with weekend plans. Mondays and Tuesdays also tend to be less busy for many of us, so those days can also be a good idea. If your guests are traveling from out of town, a weekend event will be a much easier possibility to attend—just plan ahead and give enough notice so everyone can make it to your big holiday party. Corporate events are often best on a Thursday evening right after work, giving employees and co-workers a fun time together without interfering with their weekends or free time.

What Is the Best Time to Have a Party?
The best time to have a party will largely depend on what you’re trying to achieve with your event and who will be invited. If your guest list includes families and young children, an earlier event, such as early afternoon, can be a good idea so everyone can attend and the kids aren’t getting tired and cranky. If it’s an adult gathering with cocktails and a big meal at the center of the festivities, consider an evening party to take in the beautiful nighttime views of the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale and set the mood for a fabulous dinner party. If you’d rather ensure guests on our classic yacht can see the full daytime view of the waterway and all the sights it contains, consider planning an early afternoon get-together with heavy appetizers to make the most of the daylight.
How to Entertain Guests at a Party?
Once you pick your holiday venue in Fort Lauderdale, you’ll want to plan how to entertain guests at your holiday party. Here are some suggestions to keep in mind:
- Music: Festive holiday music can set the mood and get people in the right spirit for your gathering. While you can always accomplish this with a simple playlist, hiring some live musicians and singers can elevate your party and wow your guests.
- Activities: It’s the holiday season, so embrace the festivity of this time of year by planning out some fun seasonal activities for your guests to enjoy while on our classic yacht. Maybe a surprise visit from Santa during the party is the right move, or create interactive activities like a gingerbread house station to keep kids and adults entertained and engaged.
- Sights: Beyond music and activities, simply providing beautiful scenery for your party can go a long way. Because our yacht cruises down the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale, we can help elevate your party’s ambiance and provide natural beauty at every turn.
- Food: Nothing says a holiday gathering like a bountiful spread of delicious food, and at Charter One Yachts, we can take care of that for you. Our onboard catering options include full sit-down meals, heavy appetizers, fun food stations like a mashed potato station, and everything in between. We can work with you to customize the menu and ensure everything is perfect for your gathering, whether hosting a fun work party for your employees or bringing together close friends for a formal dinner cruise for 50 people.
