Have a Cracking Corporate Christmas Party

Christmas is a time for celebration with friends, family, partners and work colleagues. Organising your own personal commitments can be time consuming at an already busy time of year, so why not organise your corporate Christmas party with the helping hand of some professionals.

Regardless of whether you have 10 or 1000 employees, everyone will have a different idea about what would make the ideal Christmas party. Some people prefer sharing a meal with their work colleagues to celebrate the festive season whilst some favour the idea of something more active.

Why not keep everyone happy and get the best of both worlds by taking a trip to the bowling alley for a spot of competitive fun and Christmas food to get you in the swing of things. Bowling alleys can generally cater for various party sizes so however big or small your company, you’re sure to find an option to suit. Festive party packages usually include a few games of bowling, with Christmas food and drinks to up keep energy levels for the games ahead.

The beauty of booking your corporate Christmas party this way lies in the fact there’s barely any organising to do as the staff at the bowling alley will take care of all arrangements. All you need to do is show up on time!

You may also find that better discounts can be received if you book online so you could save money and book the whole party from the comfort of your own office. It’s never too early to get started on the party planning and as bowling is a popular option with festive partygoers, its generally best to book early and make sure you get the perfect date to suit everyone’s diary.

There are also plenty of fun activities that can be carried out in the office before the real party begin and are a good way to inject some festive cheer into the event itself. Creativity is key to making your company Christmas party a memorable experience for you and your co-workers.

If you think your colleagues would be up for the challenge why not start by sending out invitations with a note included that there will be a prize for the person that decks out in the best Christmas outfit; a fun and easy way for everyone to use their imagination and make the event more memorable. Playing Christmas music in the office before going out is a melodic way to ease into the seasonal celebrations.

If you work for a large company where everyone won’t know each others names you could ditch name badges in favour of Santa hats with names on the front. A much more fun way to get to know each other!

Finally, it’s a good idea to gather as many photographs as possible from corporate Christmas parties as they can be displayed on notice boards or posted on staff intranets and corporate websites. That way all employees can share the experience with anyone who missed the fun.
