The paradox of choice says that people are more stressed when they have to choose between several options (for example, 24 types of jam instead of just six). Party themes help, first of all, because they restrict the area of options, activities and dress code that the party can have. Decisions are made easier, but for this it is important that the topic is not too complicated to make, or expensive. For example, a hippie-themed party may be easy to improvise for attendees, but one with clothes from the 1800s would incur additional costs for things they would never use again.
Establishing the budget
The budget available to the human resources department at the end of the year can be a starting point that greatly restricts the decision-making area and party options. Ensure in advance with the managers a limit of the budget with which they agree, in order to have the expectations established from the very beginning. It’s a shame that successful party ideas are wasted because of the budget, so the organizer is the best “lawyer” of the company’s party. And don’t forget to keep the Toronto Party Bus for the parties.
Booking a place
The place has two great options: a trip to another city or an evening spent in the same city. In case of a trip, the budget is obviously higher, because accommodation will be provided and more meals will be needed. The whole party can be much more successful, because everyone arrives at the same time, the world is more relaxed and has the opportunity to interact longer. However, during the holidays a trip can be an extra worry, because December is already a busy one.
Stabilization of activities and music
As with weddings, it is always advisable to rely on a DJ to observe the atmosphere live. A playlist does not fit the rhythm of the party and does not want to sacrifice a colleague to spend your evening at the desk, or to take music requests from all other participants. Also, when you receive DJ recommendations, ask why they are recommended. This is how you will know if they match your demands.
Catering
Eating little or not tasty food can spoil the atmosphere of a party, or it can make the alcohol consumed be digested faster. As with those who provide music, as above, make sure that the recommendations you receive are in line with the standards with which regular participants are and that offer options to all vegetarians, vegans or gluten intolerant.
Party announcement
Although many things seem to be manageable, it is important that the date and place be booked in advance (it is difficult to book a date without booking a place). December is busy for both locals and employees, who have other personal Christmas parties and things to manage for the holidays. The whole team will appreciate very much if their time is respected and appreciated, and the party will be announced in advance.
