General information about corporate parties
Company
end-of-year parties, business anniversaries or other occasions seem to happen
naturally, but nevertheless, they require a lot of preparation, i.e. a flow of
tasks that does not usually happen for board or HR, so they take from classic
resources of time. They must be carefully prepared, but must be announced
well in advance, so that employees can plan the party on their calendars. What
does a successful party entail and how is it organized, which also fulfills the
company's objectives, but leaves the employees happy?
Tips for organizing a
corporate party
Choice of theme
The paradox of choice says that people are more stressed when
they have to choose between several options (for example, 24 assortments of jam
instead of just six). Party themes help, first of all, because they
restrict the area of options, activities and dress code that the party can
have. Decisions are made easier, but for this it is important that the
topic is not too complicated to make, or expensive. For example, a
hippie-themed party can be easily improvised for attendees, but one with
clothes from the 1800s would incur additional costs for things they would never
use again.
Establishing the budget
The budget
available to the human resources department at the end of the year can be a
starting point that greatly restricts the decision-making area and party
options. Ensure in advance with the managers a limit of the budget with
which they agree, in order to have the expectations established from the very
beginning. It's a shame that successful party ideas are wasted because of
the budget, so the organizer is the best "lawyer" of the company's
party.
Booking a place
The place has
two great options: a trip to another city or an evening spent in the same city. In
case of a trip, the budget is obviously higher, because accommodation will be
provided and more meals will be needed. The whole party can be much more
successful, because everyone arrives at the same time, the world is more
relaxed and has the opportunity to interact for a longer time. However,
during the holidays a trip can be an extra worry, because December is already a
busy one.
Stabilization of activities and music
As with
weddings, it is always advisable to rely on a DJ to observe the atmosphere
live. A playlist does not fit the rhythm of the party and does not want to
sacrifice a colleague to spend the evening at your desk, or to take music
requests from all other participants. Also, when you receive DJ
recommendations, ask why they are recommended. This is how you will know
if they fit your demands.
Catering
Eating little
or no tasty food can spoil the atmosphere of a party. As with those who
provide music, as above, make sure the recommendations you receive match the
standards with which regular participants are and offer options to all
vegetarians, vegans or gluten intolerant.
Party announcement
Although many
things seem to be manageable, it is important that the date and place be booked
in advance (it is difficult to book a date without booking a place). December
is busy for both locals and employees. The whole team will appreciate very much
if their time is respected and appreciated, and the party will be announced in
advance.

parties
Party with Photo Booth / GIF Booth / Green Screen Booth
As with social
events (weddings, baptisms), a photo booth is now a must at any party. Guests
can have fun with special pictures, with more interesting props and background,
they can leave with prints of photos with a magnet on the back, and these
services are now very easy to find. In addition, they can be accompanied
by party decorations matched with the theme you have chosen, strengthening the
props of the place.
Theme with guaranteed success
There are
certain themes that everyone loves: hippies, gypsies, James Bond, masquerade
ball, but also newer and creative themes: what job did you want to have when
you were little, escape rooms or board games. Most of the time, the
company's party is the only occasion in which some colleagues have the
opportunity to participate in such thematic events, so the organization of the
party can really add value to the social life of the team members.
Improvisation workshop
Classes,
improvisation, or small acting exercises are now very easy for companies to
find. Performers in these fields travel to the headquarters of companies
or where they organize parties and offer, in addition to the experience of
relaxation, the feeling of learning a new skill.
Mysterious dinner
The mysterious
dinners are intended for large teams, in which colleagues know each other only
within the departments, but on this occasion they can interact with other
members of the team, who would not otherwise be in their group. Mysterious
dinners are organized in different restaurants in the city, for different
heterogeneous groups. Thus, a participant knows when and where the dinner
will be, but not with which colleagues he will sit at the table.
Travel Guide
Tourist tours
can be done both in the city where the company operates, but also in other
cities that a group can discover. Even if the tour lasts only a few hours
and takes place in an already known city, a good guide can add new objectives,
historical and interesting facts that will make an ordinary day, a special and
memorable one.
Alternative payment cafe
There are
services, designed for smaller parties, in which you can prepare smoothies
endured by the engine of a stationary bike, on which even the participants can
pedal.
Competitive activities, such as the Culinary Olympics
Internal
competitions can also be organized within a company, in which employees can
participate in teams and taste delicious dishes at the end.
The most
important thing, when organizing a party, is to look at your team as a whole,
the results and the atmosphere of the parties of the past years and to see if
your colleagues would feel good. The party is the culmination of a
success, a New Year or team spirit, and its purpose must be honest, genuine,
and open to the personalities and preferences of members. Both games and
dance or simply social interaction are important in welding collegiality
