tensions and enjoy the time during the festive season with your
workplace buddies. If you are in-charged with the responsibility of
arranging your office Christmas party, throw an enthralling party
and enjoy partying with your workplace buddies and of course, your
boss! In this article, we have provided some bright office Christmas
party ideas. Read on.
- Party invitation: Choose a Christmas party invitation
that looks elegant that will make your colleagues look forward
to attending the office Christmas party. An invitation with
dazzling colored of blue, silver and white is pretty attractive!
Since it is office Christmas party, you may choose to be a bit
formal. Mention the date, venue and time of the party and also
mention the theme of the party, if any.
- Venue: You may either choose a big hall within your
office premises or book a party hall away from your office.
Whatever the choice is, make sure that the hall is big enough to
accommodate the entire staff and is spacious enough so that
people can freely move around. Do not clutter the hall by
placing unnecessary and bulky furniture.
- Time: Generally, Christmas office party is held one
week prior to Christmas. After deciding the date, consult your
co-workers to fix the party timings. Normally, Christmas is
celebrated on the last day of the office (mostly Friday, in the
afternoon) before the Christmas vacation commences.
- Decoration: Office Christmas party generally has no
theme. So, you may arrange the party hall in an elegant manner.
Decorate the party hall with some beautiful ribbons and
balloons. If your office Christmas party is a formal affair,
decorate the tables with an attractive centerpiece of rich
colored candles paired with mistletoe. If the party is informal,
you may decorate the tables with some holiday paper plates and
table cloths coupled with matching table toppers like symbolic
holiday bells around the food.
- Christmas tree: Get Christmas tree and place it in
the middle of the party hall. Make sure that the size of the
tree is according to the size of the hall. The Christmas tree
should be of optimum size, that is, neither too small nor too
large. Hang colorful ribbons, laces and colored bulbs in the
Christmas tree. Engage the entire staff in decorating the tree
so that the tree looks as attractive as possible. The Christmas
tree should not be overloaded with the decorative items.
- Food: For the office Christmas party, you may arrange
a buffet table or have a sit down meal. Choose the one which
suits your company's budget. Organize a Christmas feast with a
menu that is common and is like by the entire staff. You may
consult your co-workers for deciding the menu. If your company
is budget conscious, you may include a starter, main course,
side dish and dessert. Make sure that you have provided at least
a couple of choices to choose from.
- Beverages: Your company policy will decide whether
alcohol should be included in the office Christmas party or not.
If the company permits you to include alcohol in the party, then
you may include a case of beer, a couple of bottles of red and
white wine, and a couple of bottles of hard liquor in addition
to the aerated drinks and fruit juices.
- Party dress: Wearing formals in a holiday party looks
awkward. So, if you have set any theme for the party, ask the
staff to dress up in theme based costumes. However, some people
may find it uncomfortable to come over wearing fancy dresses in
their office party. So, it is better to keep flexibility in the
dress code.
- Entertainment: After the feast, it is the time to
entertain the people in the party. Choose some interesting party
games that are of interest to all the people. Trivia games are
some of the best options for office Christmas party. Other
popular office party games are "Christmas Candy Jar", "Stocking
Memory" and "Shave the Santa." You may also
videotape the guests and play some soothing background music all
through the party.
- Office Christmas party favors: Company favors should
make the entire staff feel special about the party. Attractive
snowflake gel candles coupled with silver metallic snowflakes
make good company party favors. You may also think different
from the usual by giving lighthearted novelty gifts such as a
party hat or a t-shirt. Personalized glassware, tea-sets or
crockery with your company's logo or name can also be given as
company Christmas party favor.
Follow the above party ideas, arrange your office
Christmas party and make the party the most memorable one!
