- Safety First: While snowball fights and late-night fun are all part of the excitement, make sure there’s a safe space for everyone. Keep walkways clear of ice if you’re venturing outdoors, and ensure indoor areas are trip-free and cozy.
- Keep Snacks Handy:With all the activities and late-night chats, your guests are bound to get peckish. Have a snack station with easy-to-grab treats to keep everyone fueled and happy.
