Premier cocktail venues, DV8 bars in Sandbach and Congleton, part of the unique and award-winning Life & Soul Ltd Group is offering a full, free guide to organising the perfect Christmas do this festive season as well as a free party consultation service for those who want to celebrate hassle-free.
From tips on how to start the planning process to decoration and theme ideas, DV8 have created a fool-proof guide to make sure your employees have a jolly old ‘knees up’ before the Christmas break.
Steph Chaddock, Managing Director of DV8 bars said: “Christmas is definitely our busiest time of year due to parties and events and our customers are always asking us what our secret to a successful event is. That’s why we decided to provide a service for those who want to throw a successful party, whether that’s with us or if they go it alone.”
The top 5 tips from the guide are:
- Know your numbers – gather a list of people who you want to unite and how much you’re willing to budget. This will help determine venues, what you’re proposing to offer and the space you’ll need to host the party. The same applies even if you are planning to hold the event in your own office space, for health and safety reasons.
- Pick a theme – fun winter wonderland to crazy Christmas jumpers, pick a theme that people will enjoy and get involved in. It also helps people relax and have fun.
- Food – if you really want to impress, look for caterers and venues who specialise in parties. Whether it’s a deluxe buffet themed meal or an indulgent sit-down experience, you’ll want to make sure your guests are well fed and watered.
- Fun and games – think of some fun ice breakers that will help people relax and enjoy themselves. These can range from a vodka ice luge, parlour games or a secret Santa to get people in the festive spirit.
- Beverages – Wine and fizz is always popular during party season, but your guests will appreciate the extra effort you’ve put in to learn new cocktail recipes to suit your theme. Don’t forget the soft drinks for those who want them.
If you don’t have time to plan a Christmas do, DV8’s Christmas party experts are providing a free party consultation service to help you create the right Christmas party for you and your guests.
