The office Christmas party is an popular event that companies either choose to keep simple; for example small businesses tend to retreat to a local pub after work for a pre-festive drink and maybe lunch, where as larger firms tend to hire out venues such as function rooms and hotels.

As many staff look forward to this annual event, it is essential that key areas are looked upon such venue size, location quality of food and catering facilities available, to see what most venues can offer you the internet is a good place to start looking.

A main priority is the quality of the food, as most people will tell you that they have experienced a Christmas party where the food has been totally disappointing. So by booking and hiring a Private Catering who can offer great food for you all to enjoy!

Once everyone has had a few drinks the christmas party usually comes alive. Liven up your party by including some entertainment such as a disco and fun games. My favourite games played in the past are:

Secret Santa: The best way to make this game a success is by planning it a weeks before the do, simply write down the name of each guest and place in box, each person must then pick out a name. Keeping the name anonymous from others, you will then be required to buy a suprise gift for that person, i usually spend upto a fiver.

The fun bit of the game is the handing out of the presents, and seeing the suprised look on the face of the person you had!

Name That Christmas Song: a popular game for decades now and really easy to play providing everyone has not had to much to drink, by forming teams of equal numbers the aim of the game is to play small bursts of the finest festive tunes making each group write down the artist and song title. With the most correct answers at the end is the winner.
