 A representative of the event organizing company Events, assured that the Christmas party is a wonderful time that inspires new challenges and future goals, as well as an opportunity for employees to communicate more closely and immerse themselves in the dizziness of the holiday. What is most important for the celebration to succeed? Paul has organized a wide range of events, from fabulous celebrations to business meetings or conferences dictated by strict protocol. He knows that the success of an event is determined not only by whether the script of the event went exactly according to plan, whether a world-famous star gave a concert, or whether it was treated. The event organizer shared tips on how to organize a festive company party that would be memorable for a long time and that the people who attended it would be inspired by new career ambitions. What is the most important thing to pay attention to?

1. The budget. It is always useful to set a specific or at least an indicative amount for the event. In the absence of a specific amount, the amount to be exceeded should be considered. It helps in selecting organizers, suppliers and planning the course of the event.

2. Celebration planning date. The sooner the better. Too late to plan an event can be limiting. Of course, the celebration can also be organized the day before. However, you may not be able to get everything you want. It could be that it will be an event out of a kind of remnant. You just have to choose from what’s left free. When you start planning earlier, the choices are greater: from the venue to the performers, artists, speakers, technicians.

3. Date of celebration. If possible, the so-called golden dates of the year should be avoided: avoid the last weekends of December, especially Saturdays, the Christmas period, the second day of Christmas, and December 30th. In those days, performers, suppliers, and other staff often work at several events. The likelihood of providing impeccable service is reduced, and sometimes you may have to pay double for the desired service.

 4. The idea of ​​the event. It is important to anticipate exactly who will attend the event, as well as the values, desires, and preferences. Performers, attractions, activities and entertainment should be chosen that do not conflict with the company's declared values ​​and philosophy. But think boldly, creatively, try to be original. Look around - the sources of inspiration can be right here: movies, books, stories and places. The event can highlight the already established character of the company.

5. Quantity. This is not always a necessary part of the event. And here the quality is fashionable all the time. A great event is not necessarily an impressive fiesta of several concerts and several other shows. Consider quality, evaluate budget. A great choice can also be a themed mass event - a brunch with colleagues watching performances directed only for you, a fair of interesting experiences, or maybe a tasting dinner wrapped in unprecedented stories, combined with an exhibition of impressive works or a quality concert. If you are planning a grand event, make sure that everything you have planned is done properly and on time, estimate how many service staff, artists will be needed, what technical solutions will be needed and how the holiday will be remembered by the guests.

 6. Do not oblige guests. People should not be burdened with unnecessary preparatory work unless they want to do it themselves. In the evening, leave free time for conversations, do not create artificially filled episodes. Leave the freedom to act, make waiting for the event a pleasure, and the event itself an easy adventure and a memorable experience. If you want to convey a certain message during the event, present it in an unusual form, think about innovation. Let people hear what they don’t hear every day, see what they don’t see, try what they don’t try, and taste what they don’t taste. Do everything not too formally, because the most important thing is a positive and good mood.

7. Venue of the event. Choose the right venue for your event based on the number of guests. Remember that too large spaces, where there is a lot of space, or divided into many different places for a festive event are rarely suitable. There is a risk that guests will spread out in the space, disperse and the event will look half empty, dingy. It is better to choose a slightly cramped space than one that is too large. In a smaller space, guests are always next to each other, making it easier for them to communicate.

8. Catering. If the event lasts longer than a couple of hours, it is necessary to provide the right amount of food and drinks. You should not save heavily on food. It is not to be expected that guests will come to the event after eating at home. The opposite is often the case - when people go to a festive event, they decide to get all kinds of attention, including good food.

9. Details. To avoid surprises and unplanned expenses on the day of the event, it is helpful to find out some details in advance. It is important to know how long the concert of the desired performer will last, whether he has more performances that day, where he will come from and whether he may be late. You should also find out if the DJ, the host of the event will work overtime, whether there are additional charges, if there is a heating and air conditioning system, if there is a cloakroom, if there is a cleaner in the evening, if necessary, provide facilities, including toilets. , supervision, whether it will be possible to order additional services, extend the party longer.

10. Festive mood. Relax, be festive. Even if not everything goes according to the exact plan, do not forget the essence of the event - the festive mood. Do not stress or create unnecessary worries.
