Book the company Christmas Party: Tips for 2023
24/04/2023
You may still be eating Easter eggs, but it's time to think festive and book the company Christmas party!
We know it's not summer yet, but venues have already been fully booked for Christmas 2023. Don't waste any time in bagging your venue space for your own corporate shindig. Otherwise, you could be left trawling local village halls for a party space!
Before you book, take a look at our top tips for making your Christmas party one to remember in 2023.
Party budget
As with all events, agree your budget up-front. It's hard for anyone involved to achive your party goals without an idea of available funds.
Get your team involved
Your party guests know better than anyone how they want to celebrate with colleagues and friends this Christmas. You could form a working group to collate ideas, or send out a simple survey to capture the team's thoughts/wish list.
Super spaces - choosing your venue
Are you happy to travel or do you want to stay local? Do you want to take your team away for the night? If you're booking a venue that isn't local to your office, you'll need to consider where guests will stay over. Who will cover the costs of rooms? Will you offer transport as an alternative to overnight accommodation?
Party theme?
Not all Christmas parties require a theme, and it doesn’t need to be festive if you do want one. If you choose to create a unique experience for your guests, think about the different elements that bring the event together. It’s not just the outfits that set the theme - the venue styling (and even venue) can help create memorable moments.
Food for thought!
Just like the theme, the food you provide for your guests doesn't have to be festive if you'd rather mix things up. So if nobody fancies another turkey dinner with trimmings, you can try bowl food, a buffet, or even hugely popular street food.
Who will entertain you?
Your party theme can feed into the entertainment you book for the night. Whether you go for live music, party games, or photobooths – think about how these finishing touches can boost the experiences and memories.
Plan ahead
Remember, it’s never too early to start thinking about breaking out the tinsel! Like we said, some popular venues have already been fully booked for the 2023 Christmas party season and we don't want you to miss out.
