It's the holiday season and its been decided that you're going to have your office friends over for a Christmas party. Try these best company Christmas party ideas to liven up everyone in your party.
Have the fireplace lit up; play your favorite Christmas tune; nail a mistletoe on every doorway, and the party can begin. Depending on the number of people you've invited, you will either pick a buffet or a conventional sit-down meal. Most popular is the buffet. If you have a buffet, write out invitations saying: "Bring a Dish to Share".
What Will Be Served In Your Party?
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 the middle of your dining area or living room with all of the food. At the head of the table, put your Christmas themed paper plates, napkins and silverware. This makes it easier for your guests to pick a plate, napkin and utensil and go directly to the food. Another benefit is that it makes cleaning up easier for you.
Liven up the look of your dining table with these suggestions. Get a tablecloth of only one color; either white, red or green. Then put Christmas placemats under every dish. In the center, get a large bowl and fill it with Christmas balls. Next to it, put two Christmas candles. To make the tablecloth even more eye-catching, fasten Christmas garland around the edges of the tablecloth.
What Fun Games Can be Played?
After eating, it's now time for fun and laughter. A lot of people enjoy musical sing-a-longs or charades. Or how about playing musical chairs with a different approach. With music in the background, make the guys get down on one knee and let the women walk around them. Each woman should be on one man's knee by the time the music stops. This approach is so much fun, that they will laugh till their sides hurt.
And lastly, there is no Christmas without a Santa Claus. Have someone wear a Santa villian costume. Make him wear white hair and mustache that reaches his nose. He can give away small gift packs or anything nice. All this will surely make your Christmas party a well remembered one.
