Halloween is over and half-term is ticked off the to-do list. The festive season is just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about how to make your Christmas party a vibe! We understand that work events need to be a perfect blend of creativity, fun and professionalism. That’s why we have compiled this comprehensive guide to help you plan the perfect corporate Christmas party – the best your company has ever seen!
Let’s start to plan the perfect Corporate Christmas Party
Define your party objectives
Before you start making any plans, defining your party objectives is crucial. What do you want to achieve with this event? Is it about team building, showing appreciation, or networking with clients and partners?
Set a date and venue
Now it is time to select a date and venue. December can be a busy time for events, so booking early is essential. Choose a day and date that works for most guests and select a venue that suits your party size and theme. At Prestige Venue & Events, we offer a range of incredible venues across the UK.
Choose a theme
A theme can make your Christmas party more memorable and enjoyable. Whether it’s a winter wonderland, casual Christmas market, or a classic black-tie affair, select a theme that is going to tick boxes with as many of your team as possible – and think a little outside the box if you can!
Plan the menu
Everyone’s a foodie these days – so don’t skip this really important step! Our team of expert chefs can create a menu that wows your guests… Consider festive canapés, signature cocktails, and how the food will be displayed. Don’t forget to accommodate any dietary requirements or preferences your guests may have – no one wants to be stuck nibbling on a sad salad while everyone else feasts!
Entertainment and activities
Entertainment is key to keeping your guests engaged and ensuring a lively atmosphere. Would you like a live band, a DJ, acrobats, or a magician? You might also want to include fun activities like a photo booth. Some of our venues are hosting shared Christmas parties where all of this is already planned for you. Less stress, more fun!
Invites
Send out invites well in advance to ensure everyone can make it! Include all the essential details, such as the date, time, location, dress code, and special instructions. These don’t need to be printed – think about the planet and get those Outlook calendars blocked! If it’s a Friday – an early finish is going to be a huge hit with your colleagues.
Budget and finances
Create a budget to keep your event on track. Consider all costs, from venue hire and catering to entertainment and decor. Our in-house event designers are experts in helping you stay within budget without compromising quality. There are pre-packaged options to choose from too! A great party doesn’t have to break the bank.
Capture the moment
Don’t forget to hire a professional photographer or videographer to capture the highlights of the evening, we can even help you to source. These photos and videos will be a great addition to your company’s social media channels or to put up in the office for a future landmark birthday!
By following these steps and working with our experienced team, you can organise an extraordinary party that reflects your company ethos and provides a really good way to say thank you to the team.
