Are you in charge of planning the next office party? Do you want to make it the festive and unforgettable experience that you and your co-workers deserve? Of course you do! Use the tips below to add tons of fun to your event.
- Make it a themed party. Themed parties are lots of fun, plus they give a sense of direction to an event. Of course, there are a few tried and true themes out there, but you can get creative too. Why not go for a beach party theme with margaritas, even in the cold weather? The key is to get creative!
- Provide activity options. Make sure there’s something for people to do other than stand around. At LIFE, we offer a bowling alley, laser tag, and even a rock climbing wall to keep guests busy and entertained.
- Offer some door prizes. Who doesn’t love walking away from a party with a great door prize? Put together a collection of prizes – it can be whatever you’re comfortable with, big, small, fancy, funny, whatever – and do a raffle at the end of the party.
- Bring in something unique. Most parties have the standard fare of food, music, dancing, and maybe some other form of entertainment. For your office party, why not do something a little different by bringing in something fun and unique? Try a portable photo booth so everyone can pose for pictures, or a caricature artist who can whip up funny drawings of your colleagues. Karaoke machines are a blast, too, and what better way to belt out some classic holiday tunes than with a karaoke contest?
- Give goodie bags at the end. Cap off the night with a small goodie bags filled with treats for each of the attendees. It doesn’t have to be anything big, but bagging up a few candies and maybe some small gifts in some festive packaging is the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable party.
