5 Tips for Planning the Perfect Corporate Party

Have you been put in charge of planning your next corporate party or event for your office? It’s a big job, and not one that gets a lot of respect. Putting together an event that is truly enjoyable for every attendee may seem like an impossible task, but with these tips, you may find it is within your reach.

• Delegate - Don’t do it all yourself. Let one person be in charge of the invitations; someone decorate, and someone else take care of cleaning up after the event. Just because you are the planner doesn’t mean that you have to handle all of the details alone.

• Send Out a “Save the Date” - People are busier than ever before. Even if you don’t have formal invitations ready until closer to the event, consider sending an emailed “save the date” notification to get your attendees to start thinking about planning for the big day.

• Make Sure There is Plenty to Do - While you will certainly want to allow time and space for your guests to mingle and talk, offer activities for your guests to participate in as well. This will ensure no one gets bored. A mixture of organized and non-organized activities allows for a fun-filled party.

• Break Away from the Day-to-Day Grind - While it may not always be possible, try to host your event away from the office. Let your guests get to know each other away from the workplace. This gives your coworkers the chance to see each other in a new light.

• Be Clear on Focus - If you’re hosting a corporate event, make sure all attendees understand the focus. Is it for team building, cutting loose and having fun, launching a new product or what? Be clear on the focus of the event so everyone is on the same page.

When you follow these simple tips, you’ll find that hosting a corporate event is much easier than you may have thought. In addition, consider checking out the Zone 28’s private VIP room, S uite 28, or rental options at Zone 28. This could be the corporate party venue you’ve been searching for!
