Hosting a chic winter cocktail party. Cocktail parties aren't as fussy as dinner parties, no grand feast to prepare, no crazy shopping list etc...Here are a few ideas for gathering your favorite people for a warm and cozy event.

Create a central space for food and drink. Like any party, your central gathering spot at your cocktail soiree will be around two places - the bar and the buffet. Use tiered plates and trays to display and serve bites as they will provide easier access for guests to see what you're offering as well as add dimension to your display.

If you're lucky enough to have a bartender employed for the party, go to town with whatever drinks you'd like to serve. However, if this is a smaller soiree you want to enjoy, too, don't get stuck mixing drinks all night. Offer beer, wine, soda and water, as well as one signature party sip.

A great idea is to have the signature sip ready as guests enter your party. Let's face it: When do we ever shake up a special drink at home? A signature sip will automatically reinforce the specialness of your party with guests even if it is in a familiar hang out space.
More importantly, you can have ingredients and directions for your party's signature recipe displayed at the self-serve bar for guests to refill the glasses themselves if desired.

The idea of a cocktail party isn't to remain in one seat all night; it's about mixing and mingling! Set up a focal point for your party, but don't forget to stage additional cluster spots throughout your party space. Scattering hors d'ouevres throughout your rooms and near areas where there's a surface to rest drinks is best. If you have a staff serving passed mini bites, consider placing out bowls filled with sweet and spiced nuts. They're great to munch on and also add a nice aroma to the space!

Cocktail parties can be fun, but be responsible! Perhaps the most important tip of all for a successful cocktail party is to have fun ..responsibly. As host, make sure you have alternative options in place should a guest be unable to drive home. For example, get a list of cab numbers or round up a group of designated drivers to play taxi for the night.
Enjoy!
