Christmas GIFT GUIDE

November 15 2007

Make your Christmas party more exciting by choosing a theme
BY MAGDALENA SZULC You're organising a Christmas party for your co-workers and you're killing yourself trying to make it perfect. Don't worry; you'll get everyone excited about the party before it even starts, provided you pick a theme your colleagues will all stick to, including yourself of course. Don't impose anything on them though, try to get everyone involved in coming up with a suitable theme. Themes are countless when you think of them. Some might prefer themes where getting costumes is quite easy, whereas others think the bigger the challenge, the more fun at the party! Let your guests have unforgettable fun and forget it's actually work that brings you all together. Consider the wild west, the glamour of Hollywood, the roaring 20s, hippie 60s and 70s, James Bond movies, famous monsters, or even cartoon characters. You'll be truly surprised once you get everyone to brainstorm their own ideas and you'll have a great range of themes to choose from. Anything goes! You can also think of dressing up as a tribute to one of your favourite bands (perhaps there's one band most of you and your colleagues like in particular). This could be followed by all of you actually performing as the band in question! You can also spice up the evening with a performance by professional dancers. Karaoke is also a great way to entertain your guests, providing everyone with heaps of fun and bellyaches from laughter. Get to work!

Get your Christmas party designed by specialists
BY MAGDALENA SZULC Why not take stress out of planning your Christmas party, so you can fully concentrate on actual partying, and let experts look after it? There are special companies out there who create, plan, and manage events nationwide. They provide a comprehensive service that enables them to design and organise parties specifically tailored to a client's requirements and budget -- large or small. Such companies include teams generating creative ideas, sourcing the best products at the best prices, planning and managing all aspects of an event including accommodation, venue hire, transport, and entertainment allowing the clients the opportunity to concentrate on their colleagues and guests. If you decide to go for such service, you will probably be appointed with an experienced manager who will be put in charge of the project, dedicated to the success of your event. Such a person is usually on hand at all times to meet with you, offer advice and oversee arrangements. Planning a conference or meeting involves a tremendous amount of time, effort and resources to achieve the desired result. By employing such a company, you can avoid much of this indirect expense and benefit from their experience in the business. Talk to your friends and colleagues and decide together if you could do with a helping hand of this kind. It will definitely save you time and effort and guarantee a successful party, organised by experienced people who do it for a living. Companies like that are easy to find, try searching for them on the internet or ask around for recommendations from others.
