Attending the office holiday party for the first time? Then don’t worry, we have got your back. We know that it’s the time to let off some steam and not be your usual uptight self, but at the same time, you don’t want to rub your colleagues and boss the wrong way, do you? Here is a list of dos and don’ts to guide you through the evening.

  Dos

Respond to the invitation as soon as possible. And don’t forget to show up for the party sober.

Your boss will definitely notice if you decide to give the party a miss. You cannot afford to be absent!

Be on time. Office parties and being fashionably late just don’t mix well together.

Dress appropriately for the party and do not go overboard, because, at the end of the day, it’s a work event. If there is a theme or a dress code, stick to it.

If exchanging gifts or Secret Santa is the norm, then think deeply before deciding on what to gift your colleagues and boss. You can go for personalized gifts such as flasks sets, customized notebooks and so on. Don’t gift anything that could be considered inappropriate.

Eat something before the party. You don’t want to arrive famished.

Thank the organizers before leaving the party.

  Don’ts

Don’t be on your phone the whole time. Instead, try to socialize with your colleagues. Greet your juniors and seniors and make small talk as well.

Gossipping about your colleagues and boss is a big no-no! Steer clear of offensive jokes.

Don’t stuff yourself with all the free food or get too drunk. You don’t want to end up doing something crazy, do you? We don’t want to see you get fired!

Yes, it’s a party, but make sure that you hold on to your manners even if your colleagues are your best buddies. Don’t interrupt anyone and be polite.

Don’t blow your own trumpet at the party. Even if someone raises a toast in your honour, be humble!

Don’t commit the mistake of bringing a partner if the invitation is only for you. Also, know who is going to be there at the party.

Although it’s an office party, don’t just talk about work. You don’t want to be a party pooper. Remember that everyone has hobbies too! You can talk about them and get to know more about your work friends.

But at the end of the day, don’t forget to have fun at the party because such parties are organized just so that you can mingle, talk and relax with those who you work with, right?

The honeymoon period of a relationship is an exhilarating ride; you are head over heels in love, and getting off the wild roller coaster ride would seem crazy to you! Could you even think of anything or anyone other than your partner?

In a brand new relationship, we are more motivated to strengthen the bond. Remember the small things you used to do just to make your loved one smile? Those calls in the middle of the night, the chocolates and the flowers… you really did try to make them happy.

But eventually with time, the excitement and the infatuation wears off; the relationship just becomes a normal part of our everyday lives and we get busy with our daily schedules.

In fact, when was the last time you thanked your partner for being there for you?

In long-term relationships, we actually tend to become used to our partner’s behavior and take them for granted. After all, won’t you rather slop down on the couch to watch TV rather than going out for a romantic dinner? Such indifference, complacency and lack of initiative are what kills a relationship.

The underappreciated will feel unloved, frustrated, and angry. An apathetic attitude is just an invitation for dissatisfaction and trust issues to invade into your relationship.

How do you make things right?

Don’t be a lazy bum! Your partner needs some lovin’ and it’s up to you to make things right. Make your loved one feel appreciated for the hard work they do. You need not go OTT to express your love and gratitude; sometimes, a simple ‘thank you’ can work wonders!

Relationships are like plants, they need proper nourishment, time and care. Expressing admiration, gratitude, and love can go a long way in nurturing your relationship and fostering a healthy connection between the two amazing individuals.

So here are some simple ways in which you can express your gratitude to establish trust and bring back the lovey-dovey feelings!

Write a gratitude letter!

Yes, do it the old-fashioned way. Get a paper and a pen and pour out your heart to your partner. This is supposed to be a ‘thank you’ letter, so thank them for their unwavering support and belief in you.

Give details because everyone loves them! You’ll earn brownie points if you mention specific instances. Make your loved one feel special and awesome with a gratitude letter!

Flowers and chocolates… all the romantic stuff!

If your man has taken pains to dress up for dinner with your parents, surprise him with a token of your love. Men need some love too!

Appreciate their efforts and spice up your relationship with a romantic gesture: A Personalized Jewellery.

Appreciate regularly!

Remember, consistency is important. Thank your partner for the little things and they will love the fact that you’re paying attention. Simple statements like, “Thank you for dropping the kids to school” or “I’m really grateful that you offered to take my dad out for dinner” can go a long way in establishing mutual trust and respect for each other. In fact, praise your loved one both publicly and privately now and then.

Actions speak louder than words

Help them in their daily chores and take up certain responsibilities whenever necessary. Volunteer to do their work for them once in a while. After all, you’re a team! This will improve the bond that you share with your partner and will help to maintain satisfaction in the relationship.

Shower your partner with love and affection. They deserve it! Make your relationship a journey full of memories and mark each memory with love & care. Check GetPersosnalized to create your own Personalized Romantic Gifts engraved, carved or embroidered with your names, pictures or custom messages…

Planning a birthday for your little one can be extremely stressful and tiring. You need to get a cake, cook good food for all ages, you need to put up decorations, plan fun games and be a gracious host at the same time. Yes, planning everything while looking after your child can be exhausting!

But we can help you with a checklist of things which can make the day a memorable one. After all, you need to have fun as well with others as it’s a day you have been waiting for.

Decide on a theme and a budget

Before you start planning and purchasing things, decide on how much you can afford to spend for a birthday party. How much would you have to spend on food? What about the decorations? Are you interested in getting an entertainer? Are you planning to splurge on the location or would you be better off celebrating at home? How much are you willing to spend on return gifts? These are the questions you need to ask yourself while deciding the budget.

After this, you can set a theme based your child’s favorite superheroes, toys, or interests. For instance, if your child loves playing with action figures, celebrate a superhero-themed party! You will also be able to plan all the fun activities around the theme.

Keep the guest list short

Along with sending an online invite, personalize the event by handing out handmade invitations. Restrict the guest list to close relatives and friends if your child is below 5 or 6 years. Too many strangers around can overwhelm your child and hosting a party for too many people can be a daunting task for you as well!

In fact, plan the birthday around a time which does not interfere with the nap time of the other kids.

If your child is above the age of five, involve him/her while up the guest list! Do they want their friends to be at the party or the entire class? But of course, just because your child does not like a classmate, that does not mean that you don’t invite him/her.

Don’t forget to entertain!

You need a line-up of amazing games to make sure that everyone is having fun! Plan 2-3 hours of great games so that no one forgets your child’s birthday very soon.

While the must-haves on the list are definitely musical chairs, themed versions of tag and pinatas, you can also make great games on your own. Along with this, it would be great to hire an entertainer as well.

Decorations

Now you don’t need to splurge here as kids don’t really care for very elaborate decorations; but yes, get them cool party hats and a lot of balloons!

You can also print out images of the birthday boy/girl and stick them on the decorations. Use a lot of streamers to decorate the house, This will make your house look party-ready in no time!

Food

Keep it simple! Remember that kids will be out there, having a fun time. Cook something which the kids can gorge on while playing games, but can be prepared quickly as well. This calls for rolls, french fries, mini pizzas, mini sandwiches, and mini burgers!

You can have junk food around too, but try to have healthier options available as well. Also, when you send an invite, remember to ask the parents whether their kids have any food allergies.

When it comes to the birthday cake, bake it according to the birthday boy/girl’s favorite shape and flavor! Bake the layers and freeze them and ice it on the night before the party. And yes, don’t forget candles!

Party Favors

After the party ends, have the birthday boy/girl hand out sweet thank-you notes to those who came to make the day more special! You can actually get a party bag for each and every one of them which might contain personalized and unique return gifts, notes and chocolates.

Along with all this, keep a first aid kit nearby at all times. Child-proof your home and keep sharp objects and breakable items away from every child’s reach.

Take as many photos as you can of the event. Instead of stressing about everything, ensure that your child is having the time of his/her life with friends!

And yes, a happy birthday from us as well. Best of luck!

Yes, we know that you’re excited; it’s your wedding after all. But don’t forget your homies, the groomsmen! They have been there for you right from the start and they are probably still sweating over your big day’s preparations.

It is customary to gift the groomsmen a token of appreciation after the wedding toast or at the party after the wedding. These guys, along with the leader of the pack – the best man – have been multitasking to ensure that everything is perfect! They protect the rings, organize a stag party, decorate the getaway car, help you get ready for your big day… well, the list of what they need to take care of is endless. This is why a store-bought, mass-produced gift just wouldn’t do.

Gift them a priceless token of your appreciation, something they’ll cherish forever. As you start a new life with your lady love, choose a personalized keepsake which will definitely make them smile!

Here are two simple, but very special gifting ideas:

Personalized Photo Frames

Gift the groomsmen personalized photo frames to remember D-day! It’s the thought that counts so make sure that you throw in a funny phrase and a great picture from the wedding. Photo frames can be made even more personal by laser printing the name of the groomsmen and the date on which you got hitched.

Beer Mugs

Assure them that they are not going to lose their awesome drinking buddy with this unique gift! You can get high-quality beer mugs personalized with the names of the groomsmen on them. But if you are the joker of the pack, get a funny phrase or quote laser printed on the mugs. The groomsmen will love your gift!

Hip flask

Who doesn’t like a sleek, uber-cool hip flask? Your groomsmen team can actually carry theirs everywhere they go and refill it whenever they want. But ensure that you gift these after the wedding!
