Festive Welcome: Wow Your Guests Right from the Start
1. Prosecco Wall with a Festive Twist
Start your Christmas party on a sparkling note with a Prosecco wall. Our elegant green boxwood Prosecco wall can be dressed up with fairy lights, mini wreaths, or red ribbons to create a stunning festive centerpiece for welcome drinks. Serve mulled wine, Christmas cocktails, or sparkling juice for a holiday-themed twist.
2. Festive Entrance Arch
Create a magical first impression with a fairy-light archway or festive LED entrance. Decorate with faux snow, Christmas garlands, or hanging baubles to give guests that wow factor as they enter. Pair it with soft music or carol singers at the door for a truly immersive experience.
Interactive Christmas-Themed Activities
1. Festive Photo Wall
Set up a Christmas-themed photo wall where guests can snap Instagram-worthy photos. Use a backdrop of twinkling lights, faux snow, or a wintery forest scene and add festive props like Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and elf costumes. Combine this with an instant camera so guests can print their snaps on the spot.
