3 Decor Ideas to Elevate Your 2025 Christmas Party

In charge of planning this year's Christmas party? We've got you! With our range of fun, high-impact Christmas decor options and easy online booking system - Big Light Letters have made your 2025 party planning a breeze.

The festive season is soon upon us so if you haven't already got your Christmas ducks in a row yet - we have compiled our top 2025 Christmas Party styling tips to give your event the WOW factor.

Christmas parties are the ultimate excuse to suit up and get a little bit fancy while celebrating the year that was. Make your 2025 end of year party one to remember! Big Light Letters hire all the light up letters, light up numbers, flower walls, and shimmer walls you need to make this years' Christmas party one to remember.

Our three elements for making your 2025 Christmas Party the festive soiree of the season? Atmosphere, Lighting, and Photos.

1. Atmosphere

SUBLTE VS. BOLD DECORATIONS

Setting the tone of the event is important: is it bold and bright or subtle and sophisticated? Our giant light up letters can make either the perfect ambient background or statement feature-piece depending on their placement.

From subtle 'XMAS' light up letters in the background providing ambient light for your moody soiree to extra bold 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' light up letters for your outdoor party spectacular, choose between any combination of letters, numbers and symbols to suit any event style.

A cheeky 'XMAS' lit up in the background is the perfect event styling element to elevate your Christmas party without being too over the top (also great for smaller spaces). Pictured are our 1.2m light up XMAS letters at Crystalbrook Vincent

Wanting to make a bold statement for your Christmas event? You can't get much bigger, bolder or brighter than our MERRY CHRISTMAS mixed size 60cm and 1.2m light up letters

FUN WITH THEMES

Everyone loves a good party theme! Be the 'fun' workplace with a corporate Christmas party theme that gets even Linda from accounts excited. You could have the classic Gatsby, Hollywood, or Black & White, or think outside the box with 'HOWDY' up in lights for your end of year hoedown.

Enhance your chosen colour scheme, genre, or theme with light up letters. Not only will your guests enter the party with an audible 'wow', but the photo opportunities are endless.

2. Lighting

BRING THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Embrace the Christmas magic by dazzling your guests with lights. Christmas lights are one of the best parts of the festive season so why not bring that illuminated energy to your Christmas soiree!

Light up letters and numbers are a fun, creative way to channel the signature Christmas tree twinkle, perfect either on stage, as part of a photo backdrop, or as a feature piece.

BE FESTIVE WITH COLOUR

Tis the season for a bold Christmas colour pallet. Easily incorporate festive flair with our remote control coloured bulbs (change to any colour of the rainbow with a simple colour wheel remote) or decorate around the lights with one of our shimmer wall or faux floral backdrops.

Add a pop of colour with one of our 3m organic balloon garlands - choose from several pre-set colours like the classic white and gold balloons or red balloons, or choose your own custom colour balloon garland.

Choose from any colour of the rainbow! If you're feeling particularly festive you could have your lights in red, green, gold or any combination of them all

Red faux florals on a simple white circular mesh backdrop along with our remote control coloured bulbs both add a pop of colour to elevate your Christmas backdrop.

Add a ballon garland around our light up letters for the ultimate festive display. Ask us for recommendations for balloon and event stylists!

3. Photos

ADD A PHOTO BACKDROP

Don't forget the cute pics and the subsequent social media engagement. The best way to ensure the perfect photo moment is to allow a dedicated photo backdrop area within your venue space.

Hiring a photo backdrop flower wall or shimmer wall is the perfect way to allocate space to photos, especially if it is positioned near the entry so people can take photos on arrival, you know, before the champagne. Station your event photographer near the area so they can snap pics as people enter.

GOOD LIGHTING = GREAT PHOTOS!

But first, let me take a selfie. The right lighting can take a photo from zero to hero in a flash (pun very much intended). Our light up letters and neon signs add that all important element of extra light, especially to a darker event space, so your photos come out amazing.

Make sure those pics are on point! Hiring event letters is a fantastic way to incorporate extra light to your event (and they look AMAZING in photos). Pictured: Silver shimmer wall & sunset orange faux florals.

PROMOTE YOUR BRAND LIKE A BOSS

Picture this: your business name, up in lights. What better way to both celebrate the silly season AND ensure your business name or slogan is in all the social media pics. It's both brilliant branding and an effective event crowdpleaser. A win win all round.
