The holiday season is an ideal time to hold an alumni event. With people already in a festive mood, attendance may be much better compared to other times of the year. Here are some more reasons to consider a holiday-themed event for fellow alumni. 

Why You Should Organize an Alumni Event Over the Holidays

1. People Feel More Generous

Alumni events offer the perfect opportunity to request donations for the school and organization, which will go toward providing assistance to graduates. Because the holidays are already imbued with the spirit of giving, attendees will likely feel more charitable.

2. They’re Also in the Mood to Party

Holiday parties are a highlight of the season. Virtually everyone enjoys spending time with loved ones, exchanging gifts, and enjoying delicious foods. Because people are already in a celebratory mood, they’re more likely to accept invitations for these events.

Most people take off from work during the holidays as well, so they’ll have more time to commit to activities and events, including your carefully planned alumni party. Send out invitations as early as possible so you attract a sizable turnout.

3. Holiday-Themed Activities Practically Plan Themselves

Party planning is never easy, but the holiday season tends to simplify the process. When it comes to decor, you have plenty of traditional holiday styling options, from tinsel and mistletoe to string lights. In terms of activities, you can plan games like a gingerbread house or mini Christmas tree decorating contest, while holiday music will set the festive atmosphere.
