December is a busy month for many; there's decorations to get up, Christmas shopping to do and parties to plan! Not to mention for those in charge of the works Christmas party, there's the small matter of organising a team outing. It can be tricky to get all of the office in one place, and the closer it gets to Christmas, the harder it can be to find the perfect venue. So, take advantage of our top tips on how to plan the perfect last-minute party below:
Choose your venue
First, you need a venue! Whilst Thursdays, Fridays and weekends can be in demand for corporate parties in December, midweek evenings are usually a little less hot property. Consider hosting your party during the week instead and find yourself with a much wider range of availability. Time is of the essence; be prepared to pay your deposit quickly to secure your spot!
Take the pressure off
Let the venue do the hard work for you; book your food, drink and entertainment in advance to save you the hassle! Most venues offer set menus with the traditional Christmas food, so go all in on the Turkey and trimmings to ensure everyone is well fed! Add on a drinks package for the ease of paying all on one tab and let the prosecco flow!
Forget the Secret Santa
If you've confirmed the party last minute, take the pressure off everyone and forget the Secret Santa this year. Let's be honest, the office-wide gift exchange causes all sorts of mayhem anyway! So, opt for pre-arranged entertainment with your booking and enjoy a party with a different kind of festive fun!
