1 Start looking now for the right venue. There are many options to choose from, but the pick of the bunch will soon get snapped up.
2 Make sure the venue will be suitable for most of your party-goers. If the majority are elderly, they might not appreciate a disco-cum-nightclub setting, while for more boisterous young colleagues, a sedate Victorian tearoom could be a definite no-no.
3 Visit the venue before confirming any booking, taking a digital camera with you. Does it have the facilities and entertainment you need? Is it easy to get to and not too far from where people live?
4 Set the party date after choosing the venue. Thursdays and Fridays tend to be popular nights, so you might get a better deal for a Monday or a Tuesday.
5 Some guests might want to stay overnight rather than drive home in the early hours. So is accommodation available, either at the venue itself or nearby?
6 Ensure your chosen venue has a helpful and efficient manager and staff ready to help your guests to relax and enjoy themselves.
7 Choose a venue that can meet as many of your needs as possible, such as catering, cloakrooms, furniture and tableware – fewer suppliers will make the management of the event much easier.
8 Choose the right size of venue for your needs. If your numbers are small, don't lose them in a cavernous setting; or if you have many guests, don't crush them into somewhere too small.
9 Transport after the party – whether coaches, cars or taxis – is vitally important, so make sure you don't overlook your guests' needs.
10 Pay attention to the detail. It's the small touches, such as a welcome drink on arrival and a Santa who is clearly not someone everyone already knows in costume, that make a Christmas party a memorable event or one best forgotten.
Get all these right and your Christmas party is sure to be a cracker.
