Christmas is swift coming round the corner now, and that means it’s time to put your Christmas plans into action. The first thing to sort out? What you’re doing for your annual Christmas party! Of course, when it comes to throwing a Christmas party, there’s a lot you can do to make the event great! But if you want it to be better than ever this year, and that means you’re going to need to go the extra mile. So, if you really want to kick things up a notch, you’re going to want to keep the ideas below in mind.
Go with a Theme
A theme is needed for every Christmas party you throw, whether you want your guests to come dressed as characters from A Christmas Carol or you simply have a white and gold colour scheme to work with. As long as you’ve got a theme, you’ve got one central point to design the rest of your party around – this makes trying to decorate, order food, and simply lay on certain games, a lot easier on you!
Hire a Photographer
Having a professional photographer present at your party is a great way to get your guests in the Christmas mood. After all, when someone who knows how to capture the perfect angle each time is in the house, everyone in attendance is going to look their best! They’ll stick to the theme, and won’t get too drunk before the photos are taken…
Be sure to look into hiring a photographer now; they’ll be pretty booked up for Christmas otherwise! Check out people like Scott Haber to see what photography services you can make use of – sometimes the photographer themselves will have plenty of ideas about how to set up the photo area and/or booth for prime candids.
Keep Guests Moving
When it comes to throwing a raving party, you want to be able to keep guests moving. And of course, you’ve got plenty of music lined up to do just that. However, you’re also going to want to use other elements of your party to ensure there’s lots to do and never a dull moment; mainly, you don’t want your guests to have to sit down to eat, and instead have them mill around with each other, with snacks and finger foods available nearby.
Lay out a food spread, and even get trays for people to carry around with them for food and drink on the go. Make sure there the music is always on, and there’s different paced tracks for people who want to stand and talk and those who want to dance. And try to get some interactive games involved as well; maybe a festive edition of Twister would be a good shout here!
Your Chrtistmas party is going to be a real rager this year! Make sure you’ve got the theme sorted, the invites out, and plenty of ideas for what to serve – indulge your Christmas spirit a little!
