Tips For Planning the Perfect Party
1. Set a Festive Budget
Before the fun begins, determine your overall budget. Break it down into categories such as venue, décor, catering, entertainment, and party favors. This helps keep expenses in check and ensures you don’t miss out on any festive elements.
2. Choose a Date and Send Invitations
Get ahead of the game by picking a date well in advance. Conduct a survey to find a date that works for most employees. Early December or mid-January are great options. Send out fun and festive "save the date" notices to build excitement and ensure high attendance.
3. Pick a Venue that Wows
The right venue sets the tone for your party. Whether you choose a local hotspot or a dedicated event space, consider factors like space, proximity, and amenities. RestauRent offers a variety of stunning venues that cater to different needs and preferences, making your search a breeze.

4. Theme and Dress Code: Get Creative
A well-chosen theme can make your party unforgettable. Decide on a theme that suits your company culture—think black-tie elegance, casino night excitement, or cozy holiday sweaters. Set a corresponding dress code to enhance the festive atmosphere.
5. Delicious Menus and Festive Drinks
Food and drinks are the heart of any great party. Decide whether you want a sit-down dinner, buffet, or appetizers. Consider dietary restrictions to ensure everyone is catered for.
6. Entertainment to Keep the Party Going
Entertainment is key to keeping your guests engaged and having fun. Depending on your theme, you could hire a live band, DJ, magician, or even organize a karaoke session. Interactive activities like photo booths, casino tables, or a dance floor can also add excitement to the event.
7. Add Special Touches
It’s the little things that make a big difference. Consider elements like awards, party favors, thank-you notes, and raffle prizes. These special touches show appreciation for your employees and add to the festive spirit.
8. Set a Fun and Safe Alcohol Policy
Decide whether to have an open bar, drink tickets, or a cash bar. Make sure to communicate the policy clearly to your employees. Offering themed cocktails and mocktails can add a unique and fun twist to your party.
9. Plan for Smooth Logistics
Ensure everyone gets home safely by planning transportation options. Provide ride-share credits, hire a party bus, or organize carpool groups in advance. Arrange for necessary setup and cleanup to ensure the event runs smoothly.
