Planning a Christmas party can be expensive, so choosing a theme and color scheme can help you keep costs down. You can also borrow items from friends and family members. They may have decorations, dishes, and even ugly Christmas sweaters that you can borrow, which will save you money and space. In addition, borrowing from others will create a more cozy atmosphere that your guests will remember.
Virtual games
One of the best ways to plan virtual games for a holiday party is to create a theme. There are many holiday themes, including a festive ugly sweater party, a gag gift exchange, or an art night. You can also choose a holiday movie or activity that will fit the theme. There are also whimsical themes such as Santa’s Secret Workshop or Elves’ Night Off.
Another fun activity is to have everyone email a list of things they want for the holidays. A holiday-themed gift exchange is a great way to bring your guests closer and help them bond. This activity can be combined with a craft or other activity. For instance, if you have a crafty team, you could organize a wreath-making class for your guests. In addition to creating a festive gift for each teammate, the wreaths can be displayed after the party.
Playing games
When planning a Christmas party, it’s important to plan games that will engage everyone. You can choose traditional games that will keep the party guests entertained, or you can try games that are more modern, like virtual escape rooms. These games adapt the problem-solving concepts of in-person escape rooms. They can be played on a computer or through on-demand platforms like Zoom.
One fun game to play is Christmas charades. Each team must act like a famous Christmas character. When a letter is guessed correctly, it earns points for the team. The first team to 20 points wins.
Gift exchanges
Christmas party theming doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You can save money using free online graphic design programs like Canva and PicMonkey. You can also purchase food for the party using coupons. Many manufacturers offer discounts on their products, so you can use them to purchase party supplies.
Another great way to save money on Christmas party themeing is to send out invitations electronically. This is not only cheaper but is more environmentally friendly. Instead of buying expensive gifts, offer guests hot chocolate or a bottle of wine. Also, consider throwing a joint party rather than having just one party.
