Thursday is the new Friday
4 Reasons to Choose a Thursday Christmas Party
Who says your Christmas party has to be on a Friday?
When it comes to planning the perfect office Christmas party, Thursday could be the smartest night of the week to celebrate. From potentially lower costs to happier staff and weekends left free for festive plans, there are plenty of reasons why more businesses should consider swapping Friday night for Thursday.
If you’re organising your company Christmas party this year, here are four reasons why Thursday could be the new Friday…
1. Save Money on Your Christmas Party Without Sacrificing the Fun
Christmas party budgets can quickly add up, especially when you’re organising an event for a large team. But choosing a Thursday instead of a peak Friday or Saturday could help your budget go further.
Depending on the venue and package, midweek dates can offer more affordable options than the busiest nights of the festive season. That means you could enjoy a fantastic Christmas party experience while keeping a closer eye on costs.
Whether you’re planning drinks, dinner, entertainment or a full festive party night, it’s always worth comparing the options available on different dates.
At Nordic Nights, choosing a Thursday night means saving £10 per person + VAT compared to a weekend party!
The result? More room in your budget to treat your team to an extra drink and make the celebrations even better!
2. Give Your Team Something to Look Forward To
December can be one of the busiest months of the year. Between work deadlines, Christmas shopping and making plans for the holidays, everyone deserves a chance to relax and celebrate.
A Thursday Christmas party is the perfect way to break up the working week and give your team something exciting to look forward to.
Think great food, festive drinks, music, dancing and the opportunity to spend time together outside the office. It’s a chance to recognise everyone’s hard work throughout the year, strengthen team connections and end the year on a high.
After all, a Christmas party is about more than just a night out. It’s an opportunity to thank your staff and celebrate everything you’ve achieved together.
3. Make It an Extra Perk for Your Staff
Want to make your Thursday Christmas party even more appealing? Why not consider offering your team a later start on Friday morning?
It’s a simple gesture that can make a real difference to how your staff feel about the event. Rather than rushing into an early start the morning after the celebrations, they can enjoy a little extra time to recover and ease back into the working day.
It’s also a great way to show your appreciation without adding another big expense to your Christmas party budget.
A Thursday night out, a relaxed Friday morning and a festive celebration with colleagues - it sounds like a pretty good staff perk to us!
4. Keep Your Weekends Free for Family and Friends
December weekends are precious. Between family gatherings, catching up with friends, Christmas markets, shopping trips and festive celebrations, calendars can fill up quickly.
Adding a work Christmas party to an already busy weekend can sometimes feel like one commitment too many.
By celebrating on a Thursday, your team can enjoy a fantastic night out together while keeping Friday evening and the weekend free for their own plans.
It’s a win-win: everyone gets to celebrate with colleagues without sacrificing valuable time with family and friends.
Work Hard. Celebrate Together. Keep the Weekend!
Choosing a Thursday for your office Christmas party could be a great way to make your budget work harder, reward your team and keep those precious December weekends free.
And with so much to fit in before Christmas, why not make your festive celebrations one less thing to worry about?
