Corporate events are often viewed by staff as a boring event they have to endure. However, you can help your team enjoy themselves with proper planning and a little creativity. Here are four corporate party ideas to make your event a success:
Trivia
Most people enjoy the challenge of a good trivia game. You can add a personal twist to trivia questions based on your industry or even specific to your business. Take 30 minutes to an hour to host a fun trivia game looking back at the events that have happened over the year. Trivia questions could include fun office antics such as who ate all of the Halloween candy or how long it took to close that huge deal. You can also test people’s knowledge of industry trends or even poke fun at the competition. It can be educational or just a silly way to keep people engaged and entertained.
Wine or Craft Beer Tasting
Arranging a wine or craft beer tasting allows coworkers to put the stresses of the office behind them and enjoy learning something new together. Ontario wines and craft beers are quickly growing in popularity. You can invite people to participate in a tasting and learn more about what the local talent has to offer. This is also a great idea for restaurant teams as well as people in the food industry.
Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger hunts don’t have to be reserved only for kids. These can be just as fun and entertaining for adults, especially when you have some enticing treasures for your team to find. This is a great way to get your team working together while having some friendly competition, and it’s a simple game that everyone can play. You can also amp up the fun by having a cool gift reserved at the end for the winner.
Offer a Tasty and Diversified Menu
Food is one of the main incentives for corporate events. It’s why most people decide to attend. So make sure you’re delivering on the food front by offering a delicious menu that’s diversified for everyone, including vegetarians, vegans and those with dietary restrictions. Eating, drinking and having a good time together is what corporate parties are all about!
Karaoke
Karaoke is an ideal way to get your employees out of their seats and engaged in the evening. It’s always a good laugh to see your coworkers break out their inner divas, and it gives them an opportunity to let their personalities shine a little more. It also gives everyone a chance to enjoy the spotlight for a few minutes while keeping the crowd entertained.
Pick a Theme
Whether it’s a holiday party or a Halloween bash, choosing a theme can make your corporate party more exciting. Some popular themes to consider are the Roaring Twenties, Hawaiian Luau, and the 80s themes.
Create an Immersive Experience
When it comes to unique corporate party ideas, immersive experiences take the cake. Bring a little fantasy into your event by taking advantage of ARVR technology. There are many options that you can use for custom augmented reality apps that are designed specifically for events. These range from virtual scavenger hunts to training simulations and more.
Live Music
It’s certainly not groundbreaking, but having live music is still one of the best ways to make any corporate party entertaining and fun, plus it will create a buzz prior to the event. It’s easy enough to find local bands that are talented and won’t break your budget. You can even arrange entertainment that will work for your specific party theme.
Celebrity Impersonators
If you’re hosting a corporate dinner style party or a massive conference, celebrity impersonators are a big hit, and can usually get any crowd up dancing. If you’re having a Vegas theme or a Flapper’s style party theme, look for iconic impersonators that will suit.
