Winter is almost here—which means it’s time to start planning your company’s holiday party! This event is a great way to get to know your employees, your clients, and your potential customers better and to show them how much you appreciate their hard work or business. All it takes is a little planning, and you can put together an event that embodies the spirit of the holidays!

Since we provide photo booth rental services all around the Bay Area, we’ve been to many holiday parties. With that in mind, we wanted to share what we’ve learned about throwing a party that your employees will remember for years to come. Here are our top 5 company party themes for an unforgettable holiday celebration.

Winter Wonderland

This is a classic theme and a definite crowd pleaser. You can decorate your venue with wreaths, snowy branches, and Christmas trees all done up in hues of white and silver. Amp up the festive mood with some soft holiday music playing in the background—and try serving your guests hearty dishes with white wine or cocktails.

Photo Booth Ideas: Photographs taken with our white winter backdrop and tastefully-placed white and silver props will leave you with the best holiday memories.

Masquerade Ball

Maybe the classic winter wonderland isn’t your style. That’s fine! If you want something more mysterious and decadent, a masquerade ball adds that touch of mystique. Decorate in reds and golds, with candles of all shapes and sizes flickering away, for that bold, dramatic look. Be sure to provide masks and have your guests dress up in their best holiday glam!

A Night at Studio 54

Who doesn’t love a touch of nostalgia around the holidays? If that’s what you’re looking for, a Studio 54-themed party is for you. Decorate with lights, disco balls, and metallic streamers so your guests can groove the night away to tunes from the 70s in style. As your guests to dig out those bell bottoms and have a ball!

Photo Booth Ideas: Our gold sequins backdrop and retro glasses with take you back in time to the glorious 70s.

Tropical Luau

Maybe you want to go the exact opposite of “winter wonderland” with your party. If that’s the case, throw a luau! Get some beach party music to go with your feast of Hawaiian food. You might even get your guests involved in the limbo or other fun contests.

Photo Booth Ideas: Our Tropical backdrop with lots of Tiki luau props and leis thrown in will make you feel like you’re on vacation.

 

Casino Night

Finally, if you want excitement and opulence, consider a casino-themed party. Decorate your venue in reds and black or white and bring in some gaming tables to add to the magic of the night. Your guests will definitely enjoy themselves at a martini bar, too—with plenty of hors d’oeuvres to go around.

Photo Booth Rentals for All Occasions

Once you’ve decided on your theme, be sure to incorporate a photo booth into your décor. This is a fantastic way not only to help your guests remember the great night they had and capture all the excitement, but to feature professional-quality photos on your website or social media page to catch prospective clients’ attention. Prospective employees might also be attracted to the fun company culture!

      

Holiday Memories

I know how important these parties can be. When I was growing up, my mom would throw beautiful parties around the holidays. We all loved getting dressed up and celebrating. The house was decorated from ceiling to floor. The smell of food filled the whole house with warmth and love. Now, as a photographer, I always think of those fond memories when I get to be part of other lifetime memories and holiday parties!
