TURN YOUR EVENTS INTO A WINTER WONDERLAND

As winter sets in, it’s important to plan ahead for any winter conferences or events that are on the horizon. Whether you’re planning a small workshop, hosting a training and development day or curating a conference, the cooler months are a great opportunity to create a memorable winter wonderland for your guests. We’ve got some great tips to spark your imagination and take your event to the next level.

Festive Theming

Theming your event can transform a cold conference into a winter wonderland. Consider adding a festive flair to your event by theming your guest’s invitations and name tags. Turn dull delegate cards into personalised placements with Avery’s easy-to-print cards.

To capture the winter spirit, decorate your venue with fake snow, personalised bon-bons and if your budget permits - ice sculptures.

Winter Warmers

To keep your guests warm while adding a memorable touch to your event, swap the summer sips for winter warmers. There’s something really cosy about clutching a hot chocolate or a mulled wine. For a fun twist, set up a hot chocolate station where guests can create their own cocoa concoctions. Hot drinks with a twist are excellent conversation starters and the best part is, they also help keep cold hands warm.

Fa-la-la Foods

Organising a conference is no small feat, especially when it comes to realising an event that’s creative and memorable. There are some integral items that can create an impact, such as theming your menu and avoiding cliched conference nibbles. Hot spiced nuts and fresh popcorn are a hit in the colder months – just bring in a machine and the aromas will keep your guests coming back for more. Chocolate fountains have a bonfire-like effect and are sure to be the centrepiece of your event, keeping guests networking and mingling. Don’t forget to point out any gluten-free or dairy-free options with easy-to-print Avery round labels.

Creating Comfort

The cooler weather tends to bring people indoors, but that doesn’t have to ruin the ambience of your event. Create cosy breakout spaces by using couches, rugs and pillows to make your guests feel comfortable. When hosting a winter event, bear in mind that heating is one of your most important elements. Not only does it keep your guests warm, but the right kind of heating can help set the mood and make your event more memorable. If you’ve got an outdoor area, patio heaters will act as honey to bees, bringing your guests together to keep conversation flowing.
