How to organize a great Christmas party

If you are given the task of planning a Christmas party Collingwood at your workplace, it does not have to be a scary, daunting task. It does require some organization and some basic considerations.

Ask your boss whether there is money available to cover the cost of the party.

Some companies can afford to pay for Christmas parties for their employees; some cannot. If the cost of the Christmas party is shared by the employees themselves, let them know their share of the expense at least a week before the party.

Where will you hold the party?

This is very important to think about early, especially if you want to have the party outside the workplace. The venue you choose depends on a few factors. Consider your budget, the people in your office, and the number of people attending. It’s all factors in Punjabi Curry Cafe restaurant covered. Take a look at local banquet rooms, Indian restaurant, conference centers, and even volunteer fire department halls for large rooms. If you have a small group, most restaurants have a room that can be reserved for free as long as you dine there. The type of people will help determine the venue. A large, conservative law firm will probably prefer a more formal setting, while a smaller, younger group might prefer an evening out at the Chinese buffet. If you are not sure what people would like, ask them.

There must be food!

People will expect good food for their Christmas party. Our Indian restaurant Collingwood provide special Christmas party menu. If you have the budget to reserve a large room, ask the owner if they have an in-house caterer or one they recommend. If you have a buffet-style lunch or dinner at your party, be sure to include a couple entrée selections. Unless you know everyone you are serving extremely well, stick with conventional food rather something more exotic. If you can't afford to hire a caterer, ask the boss if the company can purchase ham and turkey for the meal and the employees bring covered dishes. You can hire a caterer to come to the office and do a nice buffet. Small groups can easily hold a party at a restaurant and have each person pay for their own dinner. If your party is during a short lunch break at work, it would be fine to order a nice cold cut tray and have finger foods.

The food's gone. Now what?

You should have something other than eating happening at your party. Large parties might appreciate a deejay or a small instrumental combo playing Christmas music. Maybe your co-workers would appreciate it if you hired a DJ to play music. If your fellow employees are a little older, they might like having a small instrumental combo play during dinner and then give a short performance after dinner. Gift exchanges are great activities for Christmas parties. They can draw names a couple weeks ahead of time and bring their gifts to the party; be sure to establish a spending limit.
