TIPS:

* Do Serve in Moderation! Serve your employee’s a signature cocktail for all of the hard work they have put in over the year. Don’t forget the fun names such as “5 o’clock somewhere” and serve a festive holiday cocktail like a peppermint martini.
* Don’t Drink & Drive! Set up a car service for your employees so they can enjoy the party and the bar. If you are trying to save some money make sure a cab phone number is handy! Even place the info in a picture frame.
* Do Indulge! Grab a skewer and a marshmallow and line up for a FABULOUS s’mores buffet. With this cook-it-yourself idea, it will not only be an icebreaker for your guests but a sweet activity. Display the sterno’s in a long box filled with black stones and let your guests toast away.
* Don’t Talk Shop! Ditch the go-to work talk this holiday season. Make it a social hour not a board meeting! Let your employees and co-workers see other aspects of you.
