Our Favourite (post-christmas) Wintertime Parties

Staying indoors seems like a great idea at this time of year. However, there’s plenty of ways to avoid the harsh weather without restricting yourself to the house. Making sure that you have transport, warm clothes and a venue with good food and drink will make it a little easier to brave the outside world. It may be cold outside right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all still get together and enjoy some wintertime celebrations. We don’t really need a reason to get out and enjoy socialising with our friends or family. But just in case we did, here is a little reminder of some of the best wintertime parties to put a stop to our weather-induced grumbling.

Engagement Parties

Let’s be honest, how many of you have come out of the holiday season with a fiancee in tow? We have already established that Christmas is the most romantic time of the year; so I expect that if you wasn’t in a position to plan your engagement party before the holidays started, you might just be now. January and February often sees an influx of engagement party invites, so the next few months won’t be dragging with all the party planning. For those of us attending the celebrations, it’s just a case of what to wear…

Winter Weddings

Winter weddings are totally underrated. Whether they are simply themed to incorporate all the best bits of winter, or you get a real taste of wintertime magic for your big day; winter weddings bring a little bit of wonder and sparkle into our lives. Winter definitely won’t be all doom and gloom if you’ve got one of these to look forward to this year. Whether it’s your own or someone else’s, it’s bound improve your winter mood.

Post-Christmas Corporate Parties

Let’s not kid ourselves, work is on the horizon, if it hasn’t already started back up again for many of us. Why not consider getting everyone back into the swing of things with a post-Christmas corporate party. Get heads together and get those creative juices flowing, whilst treating yourself and your staff; and reminding them that they’re an important part of your company. Keep things professional with a sit down meal or take a relaxed approach and let them mingle with some buffet food and bar access. Either way, it’ll keep a smile on their faces.

A Taste of Summer

Everybody misses the sunshine and warmth when we are shivering our way between work and home. With that in mind, one of the most popular wintertime parties is in fact just the opposite. It’s a summertime party. Because we simply can’t change the weather, the only option is to throw a summer themed party. Now, let’s all imagine that we are lazing on a scorching hot beach. With a cocktail and the sun beating down on our faces. Ah, Heaven.

Themed Parties

On the subject of themed parties, summer isn’t the only popular theme this time of year. Really throwing ourselves into the season, winter themed parties are still going strong. Topping the list are the usual cocktail parties, murder mystery nights, winter wonderlands and Game of Thrones themes (which will be even more popular as the return date approaches). Of course, similarly to the summer themed parties, winter themes are by no means limited to the wintertime either. Missing what we don’t have anymore is typical and so winter themes are even popular throughout the summer. Themes are fabulous all year long.
