Office Party Planning Ideas
-
Ask your colleagues and subordinates for
suggestions for party. If yours is a small organization, you can
discuss this over at the conference table. In case of a big
organization, divide your duties and try to involve every one
for suggestions and ideas.
-
Set a budget and look for a decent place like
a restro-bar for the party. Book in advance, as you never know
when the venue might get filled. You should have good opinions
about the place. In case of a doubt, go and check the place.
Arrange for a decent menu that has appetizers, snacks and the
main course. Alcohol is essential for an office party, though
you can opt for cocktails instead of hard liquor.
-
What are office parties given for? To ensure
that all employees have a good time interacting with each other.
So, before fixing the date for the party, check with everyone if
they are free. The ideal; option is to have it on a weekend.
However, in case you cannot have the party in the weekend, opt
for a weekday, when the workload is not too heavy.
-
The ambience should be good and you should
have adequate seating arrangement. Always estimate a definite
number of people, who would be coming and order a little more
than what would be required. It is always beneficial to keep
some extra amounts, just in case, someone decides to get along a
date or his/her spouse.
-
No party is complete without music. So, make
sure you arrange for a decent band or a live DJ, who can play
some good music, while the party is on.
-
Plan some fun activities for people, such as
simple games. You could play dumb charades, musical chairs or
simply have a fun introduction speech. The initial mingling with
colleagues is very important if one is to enjoy the party
without feeling awkward.
-
Just chill and relax and do not indulge in
things that offend others. Remember, you are responsible for
your own actions. Do not do things that you just might regret
later. Be yourself and bring out the fun side in you.
