Christmas Party Guide

If you are throwing a Christmas party, London is as good a venue as any. After all, not only is London as great a metropolis as they come, it is a city where the past and the present walk hand in hand.
Start the party right by sending out invitations that are far from the commonplace and the ordinary. Here are some ideas.

1. Box up.

Send out pretty little boxes with the details written inside. There is no need for the box to contain anything. The box and the invitation are the present.

2. Be decorative with a decoration.

Use a Christmas tree ornament as your invitation. Write the invitation details on the back of a star or an angel, for example. The uniqueness of this invitation will make your colleagues smile. Even better, they can use the ornaments on their trees at home or use it to spruce their workdesk up.

3. Catch attention with a memo.

Draft a funky memo inviting one and sundry to a Christmas party, London-style. Your memo could go: It has come to management’s attention that everyone has grown cubicle-sick. Accordingly, anyone caught sneaking in work during the Christmas party will be shot, quartered, or fired - your choice of penalty.

With a creative invitation, half your party-throwing dilemma is solved. Resolve the other one by going for a themed Christmas party, London-style. How? One good idea is by taking your colleagues back in time. A Dickens of a Christmas Party in London will turn the clock back 150 years and show everyone from your workplace a London right out of a Charles Dickens novel. What better way to spread Christmas cheer than by going past The Old Curiosity Shop, rounding The Boars Head Tavern, and going dancing at a Victorian park with a frozen lake?

Truly, a Christmas party is the best time to get whimsical, offbeat, or creative.

If you are throwing a Christmas party in London, why not go all out and pull out all the stops? Give bosses and co-workers a night to remember by throwing a Christmas party in London that is like no other.

Here are three great ideas.

1. Throw A Dickens of a Christmas Party in London - literally!

A Dickens of a Christmas Party in London will let you turn the clock 150 years back and take you to a London of Dickens imagining. Walks through the pretty Victorian Gardens, traipse through eerily beautiful cemeteries, order ale at the Boars Head Tavern which sits right in the center of Dickens Lane, or drop by The Old Curiosity Shop.

Whether it’s Oliver Twist you want to meet, Mr. Macawber, Jenny Wren, or The Artful Dodger, you will never run out of interesting characters to talk to, stories to hear, spats to settle, and broken hearts to mend. Indeed, A Dickens of a Christmas Party in London is one event everyone in the office will talk about for Christmases to come!

2. Go Hawaiian.

Sick of snow? Longing for sand? Don’t let the cold turn your Christmas Party in London blue. Go dance the Hawaiian. A Hawaiian-themed party will make your guests feel they are on vacation, more so if you serve food and drinks that remind people of summer and the tropics.

3. Do the 12 days of Christmas.

Ask everyone from work to dress up as any of the characters in the song 12 Days of Christmas. Think ten lords a’leaping, eight maids a’milking, eleven pipers piping, and a partridge on a pear tree. No matter how the party turns out, the masquerade alone will give everyone a good laugh and truckloads of fun.

Christmas is a time for giving and merriment. Make your Christmas party in London truly an occasion to remember by throwing a party people have never been to before and will never be in on again.
