Festive Event Planning How-To Guide
Here’s a guide to help you decorate for a Christmas event that will leave your guests in awe.
1. Choose a Theme
Before diving into the decoration process, decide on a theme that will guide all your decorating decisions. Some popular Christmas themes include:
Winter Wonderland: Think snowy whites, sparkling silvers, and icy blues.
Traditional Christmas: Reds, greens, golds, and classic holiday symbols like Santa and reindeer.
Wood cabin comfort: Natural elements like pine cones, burlap, and wooden accents.
Modern Glitz and Glam: Sleek metallics, geometric shapes, and minimalistic designs.

2. Start with the Entrance
First impressions matter. Welcome your guests with a beautifully decorated entrance. Consider one of the following options
Wreaths and Garlands: Adorn doors and entryways with lush, decorated wreaths and garlands.
Outdoor Lighting: Use string lights to illuminate the path to the entrance and create a magical atmosphere. Explore our collection of Christmas Lanterns that will help light the way.
Nutcrackers: Place large nutcracker statues on either side of the entrance for a whimsical touch. Our Nutty Nutcrackers collection offers a variety of unique options to choose from.
3. Create a Focal Point
Draw the attention of every guest with a showstopper. This could be:
Christmas Tree: A grand, decorated tree is a must. Choose a tree that fits the scale of your venue and adorn it with ornaments that match your theme.
Backdrop: Set up a themed backdrop for photo opportunities. Use props like giant nutcrackers, faux snow, and festive banners.
Decorated Fireplace: If your venue has a fireplace, dress it up with stockings, garlands, and fairy lights.
4. Light up the space
Not only does the lighting set the mood, but it allows for ideal photo opportunities and spotlights areas of interest. Consider these ideas to create that Christmas glow:
String Lights: Use them generously to create a warm, inviting glow. Drape them across ceilings, wrap them around pillars, or hang them behind sheer curtains.
Candles and Lanterns: Place them on tables, windowsills, and pathways for a cozy ambiance.
LED Projectors: Use projectors to cast holiday-themed patterns or images on walls and ceilings.
Consider adding a reindeer or two to the space with our gorgeous animal lanterns and props.
5. Incorporate Interactive Elements
Engage your guests with interactive decorations and props that encourage selfies and photo booth opportunities:
DIY Ornament Stations: Set up a station where guests can decorate their own ornaments to take home.
Photo Booth: Provide festive props and backdrops for guests to capture memories.
Games and Activities: Include holiday-themed games like a scavenger hunt, gingerbread house decorating, or a Christmas quiz.
6. Don’t Forget the Music
Consider the atmosphere you would like to create. Consider curating a playlist of Christmas classics and modern holiday hits. Music can enhance the atmosphere and keep the energy high throughout your event.
7. Not to make it personal but…. Get personal!
Finally, add personal touches to make your event unique:
Customized Decorations: Use items like personalized stockings, custom banners, or engraved ornaments.
Guest Favors: Provide small, thoughtful gifts like mini nutcrackers, holiday cookies, or scented candles.
