HOLIDAYS
Planning a party for your company? Maybe a bon voyage to a colleague, a holiday party, or someone's milestone birthday? No matter the occasion, you might need a little help getting started. If you're like most businesses, you want to do a good job planning the event so that employees have a great time while also not going over budget.
What to consider when planning a work event.
Budget
The first thing you need to do is figure out what type of budget you have and flexibility in terms of the day and time of the event. An easy way to get a hot deal on a cool place would be to rent out a site during the day.
Lunch
Lunch prices are usually less expensive than dinner and this way you can afford to rent out a really nice location that you normally wouldn't be able to afford.
Plan Early
Another great idea is to start your planning early. A lot of places get booked up fast. You'll be competing with brides and other companies to get the best spot so decide early on what date you'll have the event. If you've just started planning and all your favorite venues are filled up, you could do what a lot of companies do and schedule your event after the holidays.
Invitations
Choose appropriate invitations. After you decide your venue and how formal you want to make the event, pick out invitations that fit with the theme and style of the party.

- Who are your guests? Is this an employee only party or will people be able to bring their families to the event?
- Will you have a buffet style or sit down meal?
- About how many guests are you expecting will attend this event? This is important since your choices will be limited and sometimes based on how big your party is.
- What is your intention for the party? For example, did you just want your employees to have a good time or is there an intention to bring attention and reward to special employees? Figure out the goal or intention you have for the event and this will help you figure out the program and theme.
- What type of party will this be? Decide whether you want a formal or informal gathering. This will also influence the kind of decorations you will use and specific location.
