Surprise and Delight
The key to any festive party is having the right accents and statement pieces for your style of party, whether it be a sit-down lunch or cocktail style dinner. If you are looking to create the ultimate ‘merry’ party for your guests, consider hiring the items to create that overall vision. Hosting a sustainable and on-trend party will be sure to surprise and delight your guests and make the party feel that extra special.
Planning a sit-down style, best to consider the seating arrangements and if you’ll need some dining tables, dining chairs along with tableware like cutlery, plates, glassware, chargers, and linen. Or if a cocktail style is something you were envisioning with guests casually mingling, consider mixing up furniture and décor pieces such as lounges, bar tables, stools, coffee tables or even cushions. And don’t forget those elements that really create a wow factor like a statement bar, photo backdrop or lawn games to really tie it all together.

Tis’ the Theming
When it comes to theming, think outside the box to really create a festive, inviting and happy atmosphere. Will it be festival and bright; rustic and relaxed; or simple and fresh? We recommend looking at your location and aligning the theming to the venue itself. That way everything will tie in together seamlessly. Additionally, if the party is for your work crew, consider your company colours. Or featuring the branding in the textures and materials in the theming.
