Ah the office Christmas party, potentially the biggest social event of your office calendar. And with Christmas less than 90 days away, it’s time to start planning! We’ve got plenty of ideas and all the elements you need to create the perfect Christmas event - great food, drinks, photographers to capture the whole evening - but to get you started we’ve covered some of the most popular themes below.

# Winter Wonderland
A Christmas classic, and done right, this theme can make your party a real show stopper. Picture decorations in white, silver and ice blue, with wintery trees and lots of fairy lights to create an enchanting winter scene. Think tables covered in white tablecloths, fake snow and hanging silver decorations, all lit up with blue mood lighting. There’s a lot to work with, especially with the right blank canvas venue - [check out our top venues here](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=venues).

# Masquerade
This theme works better for larger companies, where you might not recognise everyone immediately. It’s also a great theme to allow guests to unleash their creative side, dress up, and feel fancy, all the while easing the age-old question of what to wear! For this theme, look for a venue with a bit of mystery, like [Aures London](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/aures-london) or [Village Underground](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/village-underground).

[![Azure Bar Events](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/73eFHr3TJTklAd9pH5Edf5/0fb75c6fc2f6aab6260a8886be775cad/Feast_It_azure-bar-events-cY1sbhMupt.jpeg)](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/azure-bar-events)

# Circus
One of the most in-demand party themes and a great way to make your Christmas party stand out from the crowd.  Think popcorn carts and candy floss, and if you want to get really creative, hire in some magicians, stilt walkers or fire breathers. Looking to take the theme a step further? How about drinks created with a bit of theatre? We’ve got plenty of dry ice [cocktails & master mixologists](https://feast-it.com/event/cocktail-bar-hire) on hand to give your party that edge.

# Christmas jumper
Did you know one of the most googled questions in December is what to wear for the work Christmas party? Take away that stress for your staff and keep things simple by having a Christmas jumper theme - it’s a classic choice, immediately festive and super easy to organise. Lean into the spirit of Christmas with over the top decorations, santa hats and an incredible Christmas menu on offer. We’ve got some of the [best caterers in the country](https://feast-it.com/event/corporate-catering) with delicious festive menus.

![Cookie decorating](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/6lNrQsE2x5yI5hY8F9nW4O/42736586b859924e15a34ebc878f71db/cookie_decorating.jpeg)

# Cookie decorating
Want to have an activity at your party? Look no further than cookie decorating - it’s fun, suitable for everyone, and easy to scale up or down depending on how many people you have. All you need is a big enough space, some cookies in a variety of Christmas shapes and sizes (you can buy them or ask everyone to bring their own batch), icing, food dye pens and sprinkles. Complete the cosy atmosphere by [hiring a mobile bar](https://feast-it.com/event/mobile-bars) to serve mulled wine.

# Get started
Whatever theme you choose, organising the work Christmas party can be quite a strenuous task, and that’s where we come in.

Our top holiday party themes to up your festive game

Ultimate Christmas Party Themes

Determining your holiday party budget is vital, and should be agreed before you start thinking about the venue, food or drinks. But it’s often hard to know what to spend - too much is costly for the organisation, but too little and employees may feel their year’s worth of hard work isn’t being rewarded. 

# By the numbers
While businesses obviously vary hugely in both size and success, the average spend is around £70 per person - this includes the venue, decorations, food and drinks. 

If you’ve got room to spend more, it’s worth keeping the cost below £150 per head. Many new businesses aren’t aware that HMRC provides tax relief against the cost of holding an annual event providing certain conditions are met - the party must be annual; it must be available to all employees; and the cost must cover all expenses and not exceed £150 per head. [Get more info here](https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim21691). 

![spotify event 2 (1)](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/1aYfh2Cr9Taqmvs58rvDdV/6db981411748276533b262d7f4792809/spotify_event_2__1_.jpeg)

# It's all about the food
When it comes to the holidays, food is often what most people look forward to the most. There are plenty of different options to consider and different ways to budget, we've outlined a rough idea below.

__Canapés and finger food__ - Expect to spend around £6 per person

__Street food truck or pop up stall__ - Expect to spend around £12 per person

__Sit down Christmas dinner with all the trimmings__ - Expect to spend £60 per person for 3 courses and £48 per person for 2 courses

![Small_beer_brewery](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/GhpkJ5DrdjTmkwFym3NUt/3b63f212dd0baf04d638315f4c44b702/Small_Beer_Brewery.png)

# Keeping costs down
Without a doubt, the best way to keep costs down is to hold the party in your office. This gives you more budget to spend on decorations, food and drink.

If this isn’t possible, consider hiring a [dry hire venue](https://feast-it.com/magazine/dry-hire-venue) so you're not tied to the venue’s food and drink options and costs. With dry hire, you have a blank canvas and can get creative with new flavours, formats and have more control over the price. 

[![Studio_spaces](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/7sfTcgAvAP0fxAGwfCyHWj/2daaeae5629f095e2a65a3a52c7ef4bf/Studio_Spaces.png)](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/studio-spaces?tier1=venues)

Whether it's in the office or an external venue, if you’re looking to hire in [caterers](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=food&tier2[]=caterers), [street food](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=food&tier2[]=street_food), [cocktail bars](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=drink), or even [photographers](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=audio_visual), we have thousands ready and available. With all of our suppliers you can prepay and select menu options in advance to maintain control of the budget. 

Another way to save costs is if you are prepared to take a Monday/Tuesday date, which will cost on average 20% less. You can also get better prices per head if you book close to the maximum capacity, so find a venue that's the right size for your party. For inspiration, check out our blog on [what makes a great Christmas party venue](https://feast-it.com/magazine/what-makes-a-great-christmas-party-venue).

Christmas Party

Organising your holiday party doesn’t need to cost a fortune

How much should your Christmas party cost?

A Christmas party is a great way to celebrate a productive year with your colleagues but finding the perfect venue in London during this festive time can be overwhelming. It’s important to carefully consider several factors before selecting the venue. 

Thankfully, there’s a huge selection of great spaces in London you can choose from for your next corporate Christmas party, whether you're looking for a big bash or a low-key affair.

We’ve pulled together some of our favourite corporate Christmas party locations so, let's get going, shall we? 

![Dry hire venue](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/4elRNNSrnjWAacBy4zywpC/8898d34def5c168b534e55d346b76773/Feast_It_amp-studios-0PR6ZWWV1G.jpeg)

# What to consider when looking for the perfect corporate Christmas party venue?
The venue plays an important role in turning your corporate Christmas bash into a night to remember where everyone from the CEO to the interns can have fun. Take a look at some of the factors you should consider while looking for a venue.  

## The capacity of the venue
It’s crucial to pick a venue that’s just right for the size of your party. If it’s too big, the party will feel soulless and empty, but if it’s too small, people will feel cramped for space and claustrophobic. 
It’s always a good idea to visit the venue before you book. Also, ensure that when you visit the venue, all the chairs and tables are laid out so you can visualize your group in the space.

## The location
The location of the venue is equally important. The venue you select must be easy to access for your colleagues. 
It's also important to remember the party's timing when booking a venue. People might prefer it to be near the office if the party starts soon after work hours. Access to public transport is also important as people will likely want to have a few drinks. 

## Packages or dry hire
Many venues offer various services as a package, while some might just include the venue as dry hire. If you want a unique experience and to save money, dry hire venues are perfect. Besides, most packages limit you to the venue's food and drink options. 

## The ambience 
Creating a good atmosphere is half the battle won when planning a corporate Christmas Party. Choosing a venue that gives you the liberty to create your theme can be a great option. 

Ask important questions like do you need a dance floor? Or custom tables and chairs? A photo booth or a mixologist at the bar can also add a touch of flair to your event. 

## Get help
You don’t have to do it alone. Searching for venues and ensuring that the catering is right can be an ordeal, especially during Christmas.
We’re here to provide you with an exciting range of venues for your next corporate Christmas Party. Here is a list of some of our favourite venues:

Top 5 ways for your company to celebrate the festive season

We know it’s summer, the sun is shining, and the last thing on your mind is Christmas, but take it from us - now really is the time to start planning to avoid stress down the line and all the best venues being snapped up. 

If you're responsible for planning the work Christmas do, the pressure is on to plan a night that everyone will enjoy, from the CEO to the interns, and one of the most important decisions is the venue. Take a look at our top tips to make yours the best yet.

[![Night_tales](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/F6PII4idWOPF9GRPPEYWK/eca8398e1452fb76765026a9af91419c/NightTales.png)](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/night-tales?page=1&tier1=venues)

# Size
It might seem obvious but finding the right size venue is vital - too big will feel empty and soulless, too small will feel cramped and claustrophobic. Ensure your venue has the right capacity and go for a visit before you book - with any tables or chairs set out - so you can visualise your group in the space.

# Location
Next up and equally as important is location. If you’re not staying in the office, your venue should be accessible for people to arrive and leave easily and safely. 

Think about timings; when you’ll stop working and what time you want the party to start - this will dictate how far from the office the venue needs to be. Most people will likely have a few drinks, so access to public transport to get home could be key too.

[![Studio_spaces](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/7sfTcgAvAP0fxAGwfCyHWj/2daaeae5629f095e2a65a3a52c7ef4bf/Studio_Spaces.png)](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/studio-spaces?tier1=venues)

# Packages vs Dry Hire
Make sure you find out what's included at each venue. Some more traditional venues will offer packages, others may just be venue hire only. There’s no doubt that dry hire venues are the way to go if you want to save money and put your own stamp on things. 

Often with package options you can be limited too as you're tied to the venue’s food and drink options and costs. With dry hire, you have a blank canvas and can infuse the event with new flavours, formats and have more control over the price.

# Food & Drink
Speaking of food and drink, think about if you want a sit down catered meal, a buffet or canapes. Or why not get more creative and have some different street food stalls and bars? You could even have a street food truck parked outside as a real talking point! 

Whichever it is, we have hundreds of incredible [caterers](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=food&tier2[]=caterers), [street food](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=food&tier2[]=street_food), and [cocktail bars](https://feast-it.com/suppliers?tier1=drink) ready and available.  

[![Village_underground](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/5uwfeDWsyBxQjZUfMlfJkb/7113b36086ec955949af6be5e369a561/Village_Underground.png)](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/village-underground?tier1=venues)

# Atmosphere
Choosing the right [Christmas party venue](https://feast-it.com/event/christmas-party-venues-london) is half the battle with creating a good atmosphere. A conference function room will offer little atmosphere compared to the dramatic vaults of somewhere like [Village Underground](https://feast-it.com/suppliers/village-underground?tier1=venues). 

Think how you can organise the room to follow the format of your event - do you need tables for food? A dance floor? You can also drum up more atmosphere by choosing something a little different, like a photo booth, mixologist or a signature cocktail. 

# Don't go it alone 
Our biggest tip of all? Don’t do it all by yourself – searching for a venue and sorting all the catering especially during the Christmas period is a strenuous task. 

We're at your service to provide you with an exciting and innovative range of [Christmas party venue options](https://feast-it.com/event/christmas-party-venues-london), and offer a place to find and manage all quotes for food and drink centrally in your Feast It dashboard.

The best photographers for your corporate event

## We know that planning corporate get-togethers can be a daunting prospect, whether you're trying to throw the best in-house summer party, or a drinks party for your most important clients. Here's our list of tips to help you handle the pressure of corporate entertaining!

## 1- Pick a Theme

Choosing a theme is the best place to start when organising an event and an easy way to get your employees excited (announcing the theme is also a fool-proof way to get those invites out early so that you've got people locked in!). Themes are fun, interactive and help you with decorations, menus, outfits and much more - you can aways throw in a prize for best costume to incentivise those members of the team who might not be so keen on dressing up. Good costumes also lead to more photos being taken, meaning your event will be documented and shared!

## 2- Location, location, location... 

The venue you pick for your party is key and when hosting parties for teams it's usually fun to take them out the office for an evening. Luckily for you, we're experts at finding epic locations and our portfolio of partner venues are pretty awesome. Whether you're looking for a dry hire venue in East London or  country house hotel in Oxfordshire, we'll definitely be able to sort something that fits your event. Check out some of partner venues [here](https://feast-it.com/partners).

## 3- Photographer: Make sure your hard work is documented!

It might sound obvious, but hiring a photographer is the best way to make sure your event is remembered - also everyone loves to pose for a picture now and then (especially after a couple of glasses of wine...). Ensuring you have a professional photographer there takes your event to the next level, and we can guarantee that if you try to rely on yourself to take good pics, you'll either forget or kick yourself scrolling through your pictures for not having hired in a professional! In short, high quality photos represent a high quality event, so check out our top photographers [here](https://feast-it.com/event/event-photography) and get booking!

## 4- Food for thought

Food is key at any event and we're particular fans of going that extra mile to give you and your guests an especially  memorable evening. A bespoke menu never disapoints and it could be just the ticket to impress your employees, as a sign of how far you've gone to create an amazing evening. We're also experts at wrapping food trucks, so why not get your company's name and logo in the background of those oh-so-important photos and really impress people.

## 5- Drinks !

Delicious drinks are an essential - whether that's artisan coffee, non-alcoholic coolers or hand-crafted cocktails, you've got to get it right and it doesn't have to break the bank. Great drinks will get the conversation flowing, make sure people stick around and result in a host of compliments! It's certainly an area to devote some thought to and luckily for you, we have some of the UK's [coolest drinks suppliers](https://feast-it.com/event/mobile-bars)...

5 top tips from the best in the game at creating corporate parties

## Feast It was approached by student engagement company Native to help raise awareness of their brand and spread the word across the UK about all the cool things they're doing - so we wrapped ice cream vans with their branding and got this activation off the ground!

![native 1234](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/7mq7ZEUTUqCizGppLBzs9V/76b825a65a1e010b07f8721c14978513/native_1234.jpg)

## Free ice cream! 
Native approached us wanting a fully wrapped ice cream van to travel round freshers' fairs in the UK and hand out free ice creams to all the students. What better way to get students on your side than a freebie in week one?!


![native 5 (1)](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/6o6BUzqUofA8TqtwW4ZL5o/c36eaae79a66b4d0164cb2ca99b33a00/native_5__1_.jpg)


Native wanted 12,000 ice creams distributed from one of our suppliers across a number of university campuses in the same week. So we curated the supplier, branded them up and ensured it all went smoothly so the Native team didn't have to worry. Travelling around in the multi-coloured van, with the slogan 'Free ice cream? You bet' embossed on the side, it's safe to say they got some good exposure, with its name spread far and wide amongst UK students.

The van also created hype on Instagram, its multi-coloured exterior making it very snappable!


## Got an activation in mind?


All in all, we loved working on this campaign and Native were very pleased with the results. If you've got a brand activation in mind, why not head [here ](https://feast-it.com/event/retail-events-brand-activations)and check out what we can do for you!
