We love a winter party! What better time of year is there for getting together with friends and family for a celebration?
The winter months offer a great deal of charm and are perfect for partying. Whether you’re getting people together for a Christmas celebration, a new years eve party, a birthday party, or just for the hell of it – there are plenty of reasons your winter event will be a hit!
Give people something to look forward to
Give your favourite people something to look forward to during the colder months. Why not beat the post Christmas blues with a party? The run from Christmas to Spring can be a long one. Break it up with a gathering; whether that be an intimate dinner party for your nearest and dearest, or an all-out celebration for two hundred of your favourite party people!
With many people de-toxing post Christmas with ‘Dry January’ or kicking off healthy new years resolutions, the best time for your party may actually be February. A February party will really stand out from the crowd and will help you and your guests banish the winter blues in one of the coldest month of the year.
Summer party versus winter party
We love the summer, but summer is also the holiday season and it can be difficult to find a date that all of your invitees can make at the same time.
…and don’t forget that the British summertime is notoriously unpredictable when it comes to the weather. At least in the winter you’ll know what you’re dealing with!
Your guests will probably receive lots of party invitations across the summer. A winter party is more likely to stand out, be different and memorable too.
It gets darker earlier in the winter
Perfect for partying! In the summer it can still be bright until 10pm and you might find half your guests mingling inside and the other half socialising outside…
A real party doesn’t truly begin until the sun has gone down! Exciting lighting schemes, warming winter dishes, delicious drinks and a cosy atmosphere make a winter party the place to be.
Winter party themes
The winter offers up a wonderful colour palette.
Perfect for theming events. You could choose cool and crisp winter whites, silvers and blues – a winter wonderland perhaps? Or alternatively, go for warming reds and oranges and create a cosy retreat for your guests. A ski lodge or après ski bar.
How about a summer themed party? Turn up the heating and invoke memories of your favourite holiday destination!
Seasonal menus
The winter offers up a plethora of wonderful seasonal produce. Create an enticing and deliciously warming winter menu. There’s a
huge amount of fruit and veg available during the colder months – from the obvious squashes, pumpkins and heritage carrots, to blueberries, apples and pears. Winter is also one of the best times of the year for sustainably sourced British Cod.
It’s possible to create a very versatile and interesting menu during the winter. It doesn’t have to be soups and stodgy carbs. Contact us to find out more.
