All work and no play makes Jack, well you know how that ends. And there is certainly truth behind that statement. It is not good not to have a way to unwind. And being able to see your colleagues in a less business-y environment could be a way to break the ice. You may even get to see them dance as the corporate party band plays.
But, if you are not just someone attending but are part of the planning committee, then you would need to know how to get it done. It cannot be entirely certain that everything will be perfect. But, because you carefully planned it, there is a lesser chance for things to go wrong. And if they do, you know how to solve it. Here are pointers.
Figure out when. It is crucial that you time it right. You would want almost, if not all, of the people in the company to attend the said event. Scheduling it correctly also would prevent any of your events from overlapping with major holidays.
Find the best location and venue. Figure out exactly where you plan to hold it. You could try it within the office premises. But, sometimes it is better to go spend it somewhere else. Figure out if you want an indoor or an outdoor event. Whichever it is, you have to think about what other things have to be present.
Set the stage. You may have chosen a venue already. Now, you have to try and fill in more of the details. Make sure that you went to the venue personally. Know what the event is for. It could even have certain objectives that would serve as pointer on how the event should go.
Set the event's mood. Even if it is the most exotic venue in your area, if it is bare, then it would still be quite boring. Be creative and unique. You can do this by thinking out of the box with what you can add to the venue.
Have a theme. It does not matter what holiday it is for. Or, what line of industry you belong to. What matters is that you have a theme for the event. This is to have a more organized way of planning about the details that go with the celebration.
Hiring the appropriate corporate party band is crucial. In a way this is the main form of entertainment present in the venue. You would have to make sure that they are good at what they do. And make sure that they are a perfect fit with the theme and the attendees preference, in general. Doing all these and more could make any event memorable for everyone.
