Holiday Entertaining at the Lake House


If you are lucky enough to have a home at the Lake of the Ozarks at Mission Bay, then you have a few options for hosting holiday gatherings.  What makes Mission Bay one of the best waterfront developments at the lake, is it's amenities it offers the residents. The large clubhouse has a full-sized bar, fireplace and plenty of room for entertaining guests.


For those opting for a more intimate affair, the homes at Mission Bay offer manicured grounds and vast lake views.  This provides a beautiful backdrop to any holiday event, even in the starkest of winters! Access to the development is easy, and offers plenty of parking for family and friends.

Tips to Get Started: Hosting your Holiday Event

Choose your date and make sure to get RSVPs!  Sending out invitations early enough to make sure your guests can pencil in your event is critical.  Online sites, such as www.evite.com allow you to email invitations. You can customize quirky responses for your guests to choose, to let you know if they are coming or not.


Themes can be a good way to stay focused.  Secret Santa, White Elephant, and Ugly Christmas Sweater parties can be a way to get everyone involved.  Everyone loves the hunt for the ugliest Christmas sweater.  If you do this, consider giving away a prize. 

For buffet style get-together's, put drinks and food on opposite sides of the room. Spread out your "spread" so that guests don't get bottle-necked or stand in the same place all night.

Name cards can be fun and festive. You can make place card holders for your guests for sit-down dinners or labels for appetizers.  Get creative with items such as wine corks, candy canes, Christmas bells, or natural materials like pine or berries.
