How To Throw A No Fret Holiday Party

How To Throw A No Fret Holiday Party



Holidays are always a great time for merry-making and fun. Be it in the comfort of your home, among friends, or within the workplace. Throwing a holiday party is a wonderful way of getting people together and celebrating the season.

Like any other events, parties should be well conceptualized and planned out in order to ensure that they achieve their intended purposes, and end in a well and happy note.

Planning a holiday party at the office proves to be more complicated than putting up a holiday party for friends or family for the plain and simple reason that the office set-up is very diverse. There is an effort to make the merry-making one that appeals to all without leaving anybody out.

Here are some tips on how you can make your office holiday party really hopping!

1. It would be a nice start to include a welcome remark from the distinguished guest you have invited to your holiday party - the CEO, the President, or the Managers. Encourage them to address the party attendees in a manner that acknowledges the diversity of the group.

2. Putting up holiday decorations will bring extra glitz to your party. However, stick to non-specific decors. Keep away from Santa Clauses, and leave the Christmas Trees, Hanukkah Menorah, and any other Christmas cultural symbols in their boxes. Instead, use neutral symbols like candles, flowers, snowflakes, or balloons.

3. As for the menu, make it as divers as possible. Try to accommodate diverse dietary needs and beliefs. Offer both vegetarian, as well as non-vegetarian choices for your guests.

4. Plan some holiday party games and activities. At some point, the party may start to go stale for some of the attendees. A game will perk them up and keep their energy up.

5. Organize an exchange of gifts segment as a part of your holiday party program. However, avoid anonymous employee gift exchanges. An innocent act of stuffing a Christmas Angel into a non-believer's stocking may cause some discomfort, even worse offense.

6. Do not focus the celebration just on Christmas, or Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa. Try to get as much input from your employees as possible. Even better, allow employees to opt out of the company holiday events minus the negative connotation or penalty.

Have all this in mind, and true enough, a worry-free and no fret company holiday party is not a farfetched idea.
