How to Organise a Great Christmas Party

Whether you’re planning a corporate Christmas party, an office celebration, or a festive family gathering, one thing’s for sure — the holiday season is the perfect time to create unforgettable memories. From sparkly decorations to lively entertainment, the right planning can take your Christmas party from ordinary to magical.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through the essential steps for planning a memorable festive celebration — including why hiring a Christmas photo booth is the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

Choosing a Festive Theme

The first step in organising a great Christmas party is deciding on your theme. A clear, fun theme helps guide your décor, dress code, catering, and entertainment.

Popular Christmas Party Themes:

  • Winter Wonderland: White décor, snowflakes, and fairy lights
  • Santa’s Workshop: Elves, toy props, and playful colours
  • Glam & Gold: Luxe Christmas with sequins and sophistication
  • Christmas Jumper Party: Cosy, casual and always a hit
  • Apres Ski Lodge: Think log cabins, mulled wine, and faux fur

A good theme creates a cohesive look and makes it easier to style your venue and booth area.


Venue Options

Your choice of venue sets the tone for your party. Whether you’re hosting in-house or booking a space, think about guest numbers, layout and logistics.

Venue ideas for Christmas Parties:

  • Office space: Great for budget-friendly celebrations
  • Hotels and Banqueting Suites: Ideal for corporate parties and larger gatherings
  • Bars or Restaurants: For a more social, relaxed vibe
  • Marquees: Can be styled uniquely and offer flexibility with suppliers

Make sure your venue has space for entertainment — especially if you’re hiring a photo booth to add extra sparkle!


Hiring a Photo Booth

Adding a Christmas photo booth to your party is a brilliant way to keep guests entertained and create lasting memories. It’s interactive, fun, and works for all ages.

Modern photo booths go way beyond the traditional photobooth photos. We can now offer:

  • Digital sharing via QR code or text
  • GIFs, Boomerangs, and videos
  • AI themed Photos
  • Digital Sketches
  • Themed backdrops and festive props
  • On-site printing with branded overlays

Whether it’s a corporate event or family celebration, a photo booth fits any style of Christmas party.
