Making Your Corporate Party Awesome You have been given the unfortunate task of organizing the company’s work party. Take this opportunity

to prove how seriously you take all assignments given you and how much of a good time you can have.

Here are a few tips to make your corporate party the best.

Food Work parties are the last place that people want to

be uptight and formal. If you’re not in the office,

it’s time to let loose. Get food that does not involve

a knife, or even sitting down. It is possible to keep it

casual while also being delicious and giving it

variety. No one cares if it is from a gourmet

restaurant, as long as it quenches their appetite.

Keep in mind that some employees may have

dietary restrictions.

No Alcohol Not all parties need to have alcohol. There are appropriate times and places for it and work parties are

not one of them. Even if you set a limit, chances are that something wrong can happen and even if you

aren’t the one that makes a fool of yourself in front of the boss, the blame will be put on you for offering

the drinks. Keep it simple with punch or sparkling beverages.

Stay Within Budget Hopefully you are working within the confines of a budget for this party and not paying out of pocket.

Maximize this budget as much as possible by paying attention to the details and prices of everything.

Budget management is a good reflection on you as a person and as an employee within the company. If

your budget is small, it is even more impressive to employers when you are still able to provide a good

time. Going over budget will not be appreciated.

Entertainment As much as you may enjoy simply sitting and talking to your fellow employees, that will not be able to

keep everyone entertained for very long. Think of something that can provide entertainment for

everyone throughout the night. Keep it appropriate by

avoiding comedians that may tell awkward jokes or bands

and dancers that may perform even more awkward songs

and dance moves. It is recommended to use something

unconventional, such as a rental inflatable bounce house

in Utah. Adults rarely have the chance to play games like

they did as children. Give them the opportunity to do

something they normally wouldn’t be able to. Offer game

prizes and have a DJ playing appropriate music throughout

the night to avoid any awkward silences.

These are just a few of the tips that you can use for a workplace party. Keep in mind to also find a venue

that will be able to provide for your entertainment needs while still being within your budget constraints

and within a reasonable distance. Get the necessary management approval for everything, even if they

don’t ask you to. Find people that may be interested in helping you get it all done so you don’t have to

do it by yourself. If you are able to accomplish all of these things, your party will be a success.
