We all know that the success of any business is down to the employees who work there. That’s why it’s important to keep everyone happy in the workplace! Engage your staff with incentive events and schemes throughout the year to keep them inspired and driven. It’s arguably even more important during the Winter months…
The darker mornings, shorter days, and colder evenings are likely to make your employees feel a little more lethargic, tired, and unmotivated. Luckily, we have Christmas to help get through the cold, dark days!
Make the most of the merriest season and keep staff positive throughout December! One of the best ways to tap into the festive spirit is to throw a fabulously festive work Christmas party!
Not the creative type? Don’t stress or panic. Christmas has come early for you as we gift you our expert knowledge in party planning – specifically Christmas party planning!
Santa himself has expressed how important it is to make a list when Party Planning – and you don’t want to end up on the naughty list! Write down what you want to get out of the party and how you plan to execute it. The main reason for throwing an Office Christmas Party is to celebrate the end of a very busy work year and to thank your employees for all their hard work, dedication, and positive attributes! You don’t want to end the year with a dreary, boring party (bah humbug!). Making a list is crucial to making your Office Christmas Party – not only a success – but, so festively fun that even Scrooge in Accounts will want to attend!
Christmas and the end-of-year are a busy time for everyone, so it’s a good idea to get a date set in the diary as soon as possible!
Will the party be held on a weekday or a weekend? This can be a deal-breaker for many. The idea of giving up their free time might not appeal to some, and they may consider a day out of the office as more of a treat! Why not consider a January Christmas Party? Venues have more availability and cheaper prices – and it’s perfect for overcoming those January blues. Once a date has been decided, send out invitations to mistle-toast to the holiday season in style!
The dreaded money talk. We hate to talk finances because, let’s face it, how can you put a price on fun? Setting a budget is absolutely crucial because it will determine your options when it comes to which venues you can afford, what food and drink you can have, your theme, and what entertainment you will provide! So, before you start letting your mind run wild – pin a budget down! Luckily for you, we have sensational, unique, fully bespoke Christmas Party packages to suit any budget! Low cost doesn’t mean low quality. You’re a sleigh-in for a great night of fabulously festive entertainment, Christmas-sy decor, and props!
Deciding on a theme for your Office Christmas Party can be a really fun activity! It will make every other stage of the planning process easier. Once a theme is figured out, it will guide your decision regarding food, drink, decorations, props, and entertainment! A Christmas Masquerade Ball is an extravagant way to end the year! A Winter Wonderland theme is sure to incite a Festive feeling. A more traditional Christmas with an impressive Santa’s Grotto will be a merry spectacle! Or, a modern, glitzy, glamorous Christmas do will jingle everyone’s bells…
