While reserving an event venue and hiring a cater are essential tasks to check off the to-do list, don’t forget to consider decorations for the office holiday party. Ensuring that the room is arrayed in festive decor will help put guests in the holiday spirit, so use the list below to gain inspiration for your upcoming celebration.

3 Decorating Tips for Your Company Holiday Party

1. Create Striking Centerpieces 

Whether you serve buffet-style food or a plated dinner, guests will spend plenty of time sitting and socializing at the event. To make the dining area more inviting, create memorable centerpieces to display on the tables. You can put large glass vases with an assortment of colorful ornaments on each table, or mount clear bowls on cake stands decorated with garland and holly. 

2. Use Candles for Ambient Lighting

To evoke the feeling of sitting around the fireplace, turn off overhead lights and bathe the event venue in the soft glow of candlelight. You can put candles in brushed bronze and jewel-toned glass holders of different sizes throughout the room to add texture and pops of color to the event venue. To prevent safety hazards, opt for flameless candles. 

3. Create Elaborate Place Settings

In addition to centerpieces, you can also use the place settings to pull focus to the dining room. Use durable woven placemats as a neutral base to place the Christmas-inspired service and butter plates. You can wrap silverware in crisp white napkins secured with a decorative gold ribbon.
