Planning your office Christmas party can be an exciting yet daunting task. To ensure your celebration is the talk of the town and goes down in the company history books, here are some top tips to help you host the ultimate party this festive season…
1. How do I Prepare for an Office Christmas Party?
Plan early: The holiday season is a busy time, so book your Christmas party venue and vendors well in advance. The earlier you book, the less stress you’ll be under as the season approaches!
2. How to Budget for a Corporate Christmas Party:
Set a budget: Determine your budget at the outset to help guide your planning. Are you going all out with a big companywide celebration where exclusive hire is important or if budgets are tighter opt for a package, which is often more cost-effective. At 66 Portland Place we’ve done a lot of work to make our seasonal packages competitive whilst still offering everything needed for a fun festive party!
3. Themed Corporate Christmas Party Ideas:
Get creative with a theme: A theme can add a fun element to your party and make it even more memorable. Whether you’re thinking of a Gatsby extravaganza, a Masquerade Ball, or a whimsical Candyland, we love getting creative and helping bring your vision to life in our Art Deco playground.
4. The Menu – Christmas Party Food Inspiration:
Food and drink: Ensure you have a variety of food and drink options to cater to all dietary needs and preferences. You can also get creative with the menu – if you don’t think a sit-down dinner of turkey and all the trimmings is right for your team, opt for festive food stations or bowl food. It’s less formal, more interactive and gives lots more foodie options. You can still bring the Christmas feels with festive themed canapés and Champagne upgrades!
5. Office Christmas party entertainment ideas
Entertainment: Keep your guests entertained with Christmas music, photobooths, games, or even a live performance. We’ve the perfect stage for bands in the Florence Hall.
Capture the moments: Hire a professional photographer or set up a photo booth to capture the festive fun. Our Art Deco spaces are incredibly Instagrammable and will ensure your party gets lots of shares across social!
