Mingling and laughing with coworkers at the holiday office party is a highlight of the year for many employees. It’s a chance to relax, have fun, celebrate a year’s work well done, and enjoy delicious food together. Get the scoop on planning a great holiday office party for yourself and your colleagues.
Select a Planning Committee
Don’t try to plan everything yourself! You’ll be stressed out when you should be able to enjoy yourself at the party as well. Instead, recruit some savvy colleagues as your party planning committee, and work together to pull off the best event your company has seen.
Think of a Theme
Selecting a theme can make it easier to decide on decor, food, games, dress code, and more. Plus, a themed party is more fun! Why not try a theme like the Grammys, the Oscars, black and white, casino, or Broadway?
Since your party takes place during the holidays, you can always adopt related colors and elements as part of your theme. Your guests will love attending a party with a “holiday gala” theme that incorporates traditional celebrations, but with a new level of elegance.
Choose the Holiday Office Party Venue
Nothing says “You’re special” to your employees like taking them to an incredible venue for the holiday party. Nanina’s in the Park features gardens and grounds that are even beautiful in the winter months, along with elegant indoor spaces that form the perfect setting for a memorable event.
Explore the gardens, ballroom, interior rooms, cuisine, and other offerings via our online photo gallery. You’ll get a sense of the rich furnishings and traditional decor, mixed with modern details that make our event space a prized destination for corporate events and weddings.
Double Up on Invitations
Sending out invitations in both paper and online form is the surest way to get the RSVPs you need for a proper head count. Have a company designer or a local artist design both the online and hard copy versions, and send them out to your guests well in advance.
If you’d like to go the extra mile, create a simple website where guests can see the theme, respond to the invitation, and start getting in the party spirit.
Order More Food than You Think
It’s always better to have too much food and drink than too little. Our award-winning in-house chefs at Nanina’s in the Park can help you get as close as possible to the amount of food you’ll need, with a comfortable buffer in place just in case some of your guests show up without having sent an RSVP.
You can view our lavish buffet options, including our extraordinary “Over the Top” menu, and our drink offerings when you visit Nanina’s in the Park online.
Plan Some Entertainment
Whether it’s a DJ and dancing, a truly impressive magician, a comedian, or live music and company awards, you’ll need some form of entertainment during the party. Our event specialists can recommend vendors and entertainment that will make the night even more memorable.
