With most of our clients Christmas parties booked and finalised, we’re now working on the finishing touches to bring the festive atmosphere to fruition! We thought we’d give you a few hints and tips to help you transform your party into a Christmas extravaganza and to help create a night your guests will be talking about into next year!
Photobooth
We absolutely swear by a photobooth, you cannot go wrong with them! They bring such a social element to your event, bringing guests together and also creating memories that they can take home with them. Our favourite thing about photobooths is the branding that comes with them. You can theme anything from the outside of the booth, the props, to the backdrops of the picture to the print-out’s themselves! We highly recommend creating a hashtag for your event so you can have a platform to look at all the activity from your evening across all the social media sites. #19EventsLovesChristmas!
Themed Drinks
A great way to inject some Christmas spirit into your event is literally through your spirits! Try and pay homage to the festive season by serving classic Christmas drinks. Mulled wine and cider always goes down a treat, and spruce up those cocktails with a candy cane or a sugared rim to look like snow!
Decoration
This is an easy one and even the smallest detail can have a big impact. For seated events a centre-piece is always a must! Think shiny baubles and fairy lights cosily tucked into fish bowl or jar. For some events we have even installed a Christmas tree in the corner of room to bring some colour and sparkle to the room – this can be added to by hanging ornaments around the room or from the ceiling. Snowflake gobo’s are fabulous to project on the walls or floor. If you’re feeling extra festive, add some fake snow to the corner of the room or around the centre pieces on the tables!
Goody Bags
Goody bags are a special way to end your evening, giving your guests something to take home with them and use at home is a really personal touch. Some of the items we’ve used in previous Christmas bags are; mulled wine spices (to make your own at home!), gingerbread cookies, festive warm socks, or even a personalised bauble to hang on their own trees!
