Company Christmas Party Venue Ideas
Kerry Beck
It's Christmas time again, and you decide to invite your friends over for a Christmas celebration. With these company Christmas party ideas, your party will be a memorable one.
Light the fireplace; put on your favorite Christmas CD; hang mistletoe in every doorway, and you are ready to begin. Depending on how many friends you have invited, you will either choose a sit-down dinner or a buffet. Most often, buffet is the method of choice. Don't forget to write on your invitations: "Bring a Dish to Share".
What's Nice To Serve On The Buffet?
A 12 foot hero or sub is a safe enough choice. Served either hot or cold, it's enough to feed everyone. Alternatively, you can make your own creation and tell everyone beforehand to bring something they make. Popular side dishes are: stuffed mushrooms; chicken or turkey rolls, or bite-sized appetizers which come in a wide assortment of flavors. Have a wide variety of wines, colas, water, and don't forget eggnog.
How will your food be served?
Place a large table in your dining area or any large area in your house. Try arranging the food nicely on the table. Add plates, napkins, and silverware that has Christmas themes on it at one side of the table. If done this way, your guests can take a plate, napkin and tableware and then proceed to the food. An advantage of this: Cleanup is easier, too.
Now to make your dining table appealing to the eyes, here are some tips. Use a tablecloth made of solid colors; either green, red or white. Put a Christmas placemat under each dish. Your centerpiece can be a crystal bowl filled with Christmas balls. Beside the centerpiece, put a pair Christmas candles. One way to make your tablecloth stand out is to pin garland at the edges of the tablecloth.
How About Party Games?
After everyone's had their fill, it's time for fun games. Adults may enjoy charades or a Christmas sing-a-long. How about playing musical chairs with a twist. The guys get down on one knee, while the girls circle around them to the tunes of Christmas medleys. When the music stops, each girl has to immediately sit on a guy's knee. It's so fun, that your guests laugh till tears fall out.
Lastly, Christmas isn't Christmas without Santa. Get someone to wear a Santa villain costume. Have him wear the typical Santa Clause white hair and mustache. He could give away gag gifts, or anything that's funny and nice. No gifts for the naughty ones. This will be one party everyone in the company will remember.
