Holiday Corporate Parties have 5 Musts

December is approaching and that means the office holiday parties are too. Some of us dread going to office parties because we are so ready to get home and relax after a long workday. While others of us have the holiday spirit and are ready to get our party on. When a corporate party is planned correctly everyone will have a fun time. With these 5-holiday corporate party musts, you are sure to enjoy yourself and your colleagues the night of the event. 

1. Themed Party

Who doesn’t like a themed party? Employees don’t need to go out and buy something the theme can be simple. The theme could range from the roaring 20s to Hawaiian luau to dressing up as a character. Wherever the theme may be it’ll bring some laughter to the group and make the party one to remember. Themed parties allow everyone to participate in something. 

2. Superlatives 

Everyone appreciates a good superlative. Awarding employees with a specific superlative at the corporate party is great to do. These can be serious or silly. Some superlatives include: best dressed, funniest, most likely to arrive 1st to the office, most likely to show up late, drinks the most coffee, etc. Everyone will love hearing what everyone is awarded. 

3. Food Truck

Food is a must at corporate parties. People will come hungry and ready to eat. Food trucks are a great way to have different food options. You can have 2-3 food trucks at the party with a couple of different items on each menu. This way everyone is bound to have something on the menu that they will like. Have a variety of food options some on the healthy side and some on the greasy side. This way everyone is covered!

4. Wish Tree 

The holidays are the season for giving back. Partner with a local nonprofit and see what children in need are wishing for this season. A few weeks leading up to the corporate party have a tree with tags that state what a child in need would like to have. Have employees bring their gift to the party and have a wrapping station. This will be an exciting activity at the party while also helping children in the community. 

5. Drinks

Drinks are essential when it comes to a corporate party. Have a variety of drinks for your employees ranging from water to wine. Have a couple of soda options for guests who don’t want to consume alcohol. On the other hand, have a couple of wine options for the guests that do. Providing red and white wine is just fine. Drinks and food should not be the focal point of the event but the hard work everyone has put in during the year should be. 

These musts are sure to create an awesome holiday corporate party. Want some assistance in planning your event? Contact us today to learn more! We would be happy to plan the party for your hardworking employees.
