That’s it ! Winter is officially here. If you are bored at home or working in the office, you are surely looking for fun winter party ideas . Because just because it’s cold doesn’t mean we have to mope around watching the snowflakes fall. Did you know ? You don’t have to wait for the holiday season to have fun. Here are our top five fun winter party ideas that will have your guests laughing all night long. If you are looking for a winter party that is different from the eternal board games, TV night and raclette dinner that takes three days to digest, try these:
An outdoor party, for the more adventurous.
It even has a very classy name: The “ Winter Garden party ”. A question of showing off a little in front of friends or colleagues. Example (saying it nonchalantly): “Would you like to come to my Winter Garden Party next Saturday?
We keep it simple, with friends, to dust off a little, casually! It is best to plan your party during the day in order to benefit from milder temperatures, then to extend the aperitif quietly and more if you like, until the evening…
If you have the possibility to make a fire, it is ideal, but you can also plan a barbecue. Just imagine the voluptuous smell of cinnamon emanating from mulled wine, the crackling of chestnuts gently roasting over the fire and caramelized marshmallows. What prodigality!
Of course, you will have equipped your garden with all the comforts required: reception tent or barnum, deck chairs, blankets, cushions…
- The little +:
Ask a friend to bring his musical instrument for a cozy atmosphere, with songs by the fire. This advice is a double-edged sword, because if the friend in question starts jiggle cheerfully all the songs of the sacred repertoire of summer camps, you’re finished. Farewell to the evening “brilliant, too great, I loved it”!
A birthday party, there is always one to celebrate in winter
It’s true that it’s a bit overrated, there are birthday parties all year round. But this time, you are going to offer an original place to get out of the ordinary, and to go out at all:
- A bowling alley to show off your skills in throwing balls.
- A video game room to relive your childhood.
- A themed dining room for feasting.
- A movie theater with unlimited popcorn and sodas.
- A dance hall to light up the track.
- A heated indoor swimming pool to feel like summer.
- A studio offering lessons (pottery, painting, photography).
There are so many places to make a birthday an enchanting moment!
- The little +:
Avoid clandestine parties, rave parties, abandoned warehouses, haunted mansions, etc… unless you like being scared!!
A summer party, for the more cautious.
When it’s gray and cold, morale is low and all the negative thoughts come to the surface, like killing “Pompon”, the neighbour’s dog who keeps barking.
We want to save “Pompon”! So, for you, and for “Pompon”, we have the solution: organize a summer party, in winter.
A few deck chairs, deckchairs, cushions, parasols, straw hats or bucket hats, beach balls, buoys, … Don’t forget the bar area with summer cocktails available to guests: pina colada, mango smoothie, grapefruit gin fizz,…
And above all, embellish this magical image with adapted music of the “under the coconut trees” type, such as the Beach Boys, Laurent Voulzy, Grease, Sade, Niagara, … Crank up the heat to 30 degrees and let’s go for the bamba!
- The little +:
Obviously, we warn the guests, so that they can dress accordingly. Unless you want to see “Mamie Claude” tumbling down in a turtleneck, down jacket and snow boots. There, for sure, you will hear about it every year until the extinction of all the members of your family.
Rolling skates... at the ice rink!
Honestly, what would winter be like without ice skating?
In the outdoor rinks, the falling snow and the shining sun give a festive air to the whole experience. In fact, while winter parties are already fun on their own, many planners add a special touch by using skating as a centerpiece.
With skates you feel light and free, flying through the air. It’s time to show off your talent for figure skating and perform your best tricks! Salchow, flip, axel, toe loop… Tadam! Well, sitting on a bench is fine too. It’s so nice to go ice skating, drink a good hot chocolate and to end on a high note, exchange a few gifts.
On a plastic ice rink or on real ice, take your loved ones skating in the ice rinks set up especially during the Christmas period. You can even make the fun last year round by going to the indoor skating rinks.
- The little +:
Provide the first aid box, wheelchair, bandages, disinfectants, splints…
The Secret Santa, to celebrate Christmas with friends.
In reality, it’s one more opportunity to party with friends. Because we never have enough. Occasions to celebrate. And friends too!
The principle is to offer a gift to a friend who will not know that you are his secret Santa. Hush! If you know who you are giving your gift to, you don’t know who will give you yours, because each guest must bring a gift.
To do this, it is a question of organizing a draw before the event, sufficiently in advance to allow time for everyone to find the ideal gift. Generally, it is decided that gifts should not exceed a certain amount, rather minor.
On D-Day, everyone discovers their present and the identity of their Secret Santa. Hello joy! Hello surprised!
- The little +:
Take the opportunity to organize an evening with the theme “the ugliest sweater of Christmas” and the battle of bad taste can begin. Attention, we remain fair play, a sweater with bells will always beat a sweater with garlands.
Say, when was the last time you threw a truly memorable party? A party where things got a little crazy and you remember long after the last guest said goodbye?
If you were asked to list the top five parties you’ve been to, would you remember them?
Not sure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At Burddy, we want to help you throw a party that all of your guests will remember! Thanks to our photobooth, choose a photo frame on the touch screen, take photos in selfie mode and start printing your shot in 10 seconds, like a photo booth.
The ideal way to spend a completely crazy time with friends or family, and leave with pockets full of memories of this crazy evening!
