How to Organise a Memorable Work Christmas Party
Organising a work Christmas party does of course come with its challenges. Whether you have an event planner or are organising your corporate Christmas party solo there is a lot to consider. From securing the perfect work Christmas party venue to picking delicious foods that all of your guests will enjoy, we are here to help with everything you need to know to ensure everything falls into place for your work celebration.
1. Establish your Budget
This is the first step you will want to take that will be defined by the number of guests you are looking to accommodate and how small or large you want your work Christmas party to be. Your budget will determine your work Christmas venue, catering options, the date and any added extras.
Many venues offer private and joiner Christmas party nights so you can arrange your business event easily ensuring everything is ticked off your checklist with party night packages available.
Our Christmas joiner parties at Eastwood Hall are a fantastic alternative to a private Christmas party. If you are looking to keep the costs down or you are looking to accommodate a small group for your Christmas party, then this is perfect!
2. Set a Date
Choosing the right date and time will determine how many guests can attend your work’s Christmas celebration. The festive season is a popular time of the year for everyone, so make sure to choose a date that easily fits everyone’s busy schedules.
Whether your office Christmas party is held on a weekend or a weekday, this can be a deal-breaker for many of your employees as not many are fond of using their spare time for a business event.
3. Select the Perfect Christmas Party Venue
After a whole year spent in the office, it’s important to carefully choose the right Christmas party venue that will be able to deliver all of your required needs and throw an unforgettable festive celebration. Choosing an events venue such as Eastwood Hall will have to offer everything you need in order for you to host a successful Christmas party such as; catering, entertainment, party packages and experienced party planners.
If you select a venue that offers joiner parties, you’ll also benefit by having less to organise, you will only be required to work out your guest list and retrieve payment, making it a much more straightforward alternative for your company.
4. Pick your Favourite Festive Foods
There simply is no Christmas party without the food and drink! Work Christmas parties are a chance for your employees to relax and celebrate the year with their coworkers. Food and drink are an excuse to bring people together and to share tasty foods whilst enjoying the festive atmosphere.
Whether you are looking to host a work Christmas private dining event, treat your coworkers to a meal out, or enjoy a mouthwatering Christmas meal followed by an evening of festive entertainment, there are plenty of options for you to choose from.
So ultimately, give your guests the option! Take into account their favourite foods and special dietary requirements to cater for all of your employee’s tastebuds.
5. Choose a Christmas Party Theme
Finally, to add a magic touch to your work Christmas party why not encourage your employees to dress up and select a festive theme for them to follow. This is the perfect icebreaker and a great conversation starter for your corporate event and a fantastic way to get your team buzzing in advance for the Christmas party.
