With a full year of hard work behind your business, the end of the year is the perfect time to throw a celebration to show how much you appreciate your employees. To make it a special event, however, you’ll need to plan ahead to choose your venue, decor, and delicious catering. Here’s a simple party-planning to-do list for you to follow. 

How to Organize a Festive Work Celebration

1. Set a Budget

No business grows into a successful venture without the proper financial considerations. Your holiday party should have its own budget set early on in the planning process. With this hard line in place, all of the other decisions, such as the catering, will be easier to narrow down.  

2. Select a Venue

If you want a special treat and end-of-year splurge, take your staff out to a venue. Still, in-office parties are plenty of fun if you put up seasonal decorations to create a merry atmosphere. Use any existing technology you have to play holiday music or movies in the background. Hosting your party at the office will also minimize the logistical hassle of traveling to an off-site location. 

3. Choose a Catering Service 

It’s not a party without a feast. Rather than relying on the hit-or-miss quality of potlucks, enjoy a delicious meal from a professional catering service. Whether you prefer casual, easy-to-eat foods like sandwiches or a full-course dinner, your catering service will tailor their menu to suit your style. They’ll also ensure that there are options for members of your staff with all types of allergies or dietary restrictions. Confirm details such as set-up and take-down time and a breakdown of the total fee in advance.
