What began as a curated directory of chefs and photographers has expanded to include a wide range of specialists and industry experts, from florists and bakers to interior designers and even color analysts. Operating in Los Angeles, New York City, and virtually everywhere in between, I Have This Friend has become a go-to resource for elevating everything from birthday parties to holiday events and proposals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the holiday season approaches, Persky shares her expert insights into this year\u2019s top trends\u2014and how to make your event stand out in a season filled with celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Make it unique<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For many people, the holiday season is packed with events and dinners, so it\u2019s no surprise that hosts are looking for ways to make their event stand out from the crowd. Set your event apart with an interactive activity that will get your guests up and talking to each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are so many holiday parties and celebrations, both corporate and personal, that it can become redundant,\u201d says Persky.&nbsp; \u201cPeople are excited to get creative, specifically around workshops. We\u2019re seeing events like wreath-making workshops with a florist or having an artist lead a watercolor workshop where guests design their own wrapping paper. Cocktail and mocktail workshops for holiday drinks are also popular\u2014guests can learn the recipes and make them for their friends and family at future parties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Persky notes that these activities don\u2019t have to replace traditional dinner parties but can complement them beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOftentimes, these workshops are paired with a dinner party, so guests can enjoy dinner and an activity or a workshop that\u2019s fun and engaging. People are being taken out and wined and dined quite a bit, so the whole conversation is around what\u2019s something we can do that\u2019s not just going to another steakhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1.avif 800w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1-300x188.avif 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1-768x480.avif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1.webp 800w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1-300x188.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1-768x480.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/800x500-01-1-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" class=\"wp-image-106659 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Send guests home with a keepsake<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalization is another major trend, and event hosts are leaning into activities that allow guests to leave with something unique and meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a lot of requests for custom embroidery,\u201d says Persky. \u201cMany event hosts are having an embroidery artist come and customize sweatshirts, tote bags, whatever item they want. People love that and it\u2019s such a fun gift. Live portrait drawings is another exciting one: An artist will sketch out a picture of you and your friend, a picture of your dog, or a festive item and it\u2019s such a meaningful keepsake for them to take home.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Event hosts can also consider a viral favorite activity like color analysis. \u201cHaving color analysis sessions at your event has become one of the most popular requests of the year.\u201d So popular, in fact, that<em> <\/em>I Have This Friend added color analysts to their site as a result of so much demand. The surge in popularity confirms for Persky that your event plans don\u2019t need to be traditional or expected\u2014they just need to be fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe services don\u2019t need to be directly tied to the holidays if people are excited about them. It\u2019s a great way of getting into the creative spirit.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Let the space bring your event to life<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The venue plays a crucial role in shaping the mood and experience of a holiday event. According to Persky, finding a space that feels special is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf people are trying to get outside of their day-to-day life and be in a place that feels new and different, going to yet another office space doesn\u2019t work,\u201d says Persky. \u201cWe rely on Peerspace to find the right spaces, and we focus on finding places that are aligned aesthetically with the vision of whoever is throwing the event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Persky recently hosted a corporate dinner for clients at this Open Door award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/pages\/listings\/631e9d54a88a46000f7289f2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">San Francisco space<\/a>.
