Christmas Parties are a much-awaited event. It is the season of giving, a break
from the stress of the work, a chance to see the human side of your boss and
coworkers (if you can’t see it during the daily grind in the office).
If
ever you are assigned to be the leader of your company Christmas party, I know
that you will agree that you wanted it perfect and memorable.
But
horror stories have been recorded when someone that lack event management
skills were given the task to organize the company Christmas party.
But
don’t be afraid, help is here. Here are 5 must know event management elements
that you should know in order to execute a memorable and successful company Christmas
party.
1.
Set the Budget
If you know how much is the allocated budget or
financial resource for your company Christmas party, you can start with your vision
of your party.
Often times, the vision for the Christmas party is
wasted because it is so grand, but when the budget allotment was declared, it
cannot or it is difficult to even accomplish 50% of the items created to
implement the vision.
My mantra here is the: Your Budget makes the Event Vision Realistic.
2.
Set the Date
My event company is known in many things, and one of
the things that we are known for is when we set the date, we stick to the date.
Oftentimes, a lot of corporate event management
planners forget to set the date of the Christmas party.
It has a lot of negative consequences. Among the
consequences are unavailability of the venue, late information dissemination
among employees of the Christmas party paving the way for poor attendance, poor
logistic preparations because there is no date to target the required work to
be finished in order to set up a great Christmas party.
My mantra here: There
is no turning back when the date is set.
3.
Set the Venue
If your Christmas party is in your office, the
problem is minimal. But if you are planning to have your Christmas party
outside of your office, finalizing your venue is a must. Remember, you are not the only company that is
eyeing to use the preferred venue that you have in mind.
So get this out of your obstacles, act fast, set the
venue and relax.
We Filipinos love food so much. In addition, there
are indications that Filipinos will judge the success of the event they
attended by judging how it satisfied their palette and stomach.
You do not need expensive food to achieve success.
What you need is delicious food and abundant food that will elicit a positive
reaction among your peers.
My mantra here is: Abundant Food Means Successful Christmas Party.
5.
Create an Event Theme
Let creativity color your Christmas party by creating
an event theme that will make the attendees experience magical and fantastic.
This is the ingredient that adds color to your
Christmas party. It makes your party unique and an event worthy of their time.
Most of the time, the theme brings out the best in
the attendees, because it creates excitement. It automatically communicates with the attendees that your Christmas party is fun.
A themed Christmas party that is successful this year
makes your attendees crave and look forward to what is in store in the coming
Christmas party next year.
In summary:
this is not an exhaustive discussion
of the elements needed to make your event management responsibilities in implementing your company Christmas party successful. But putting this into
heart and giving these elements special focus will assure you of your Christmas
party’s success.
This one I guarantee.
So put on your event management hat and start
creating one fabulous Christmas party for your company.
