How to hold a business party

This article covers a range of topics to celebrate business anniversaries. This includes putting on a party for your staff and / or clients, as well as team building events that can bring an array of benefits to the company as a whole. It has some tips on how to choose the right event planner as well.

Team building events are highly popular amongst all sorts of businesses regardless of size and sector. They have a range of benefits to employers and staff as they can help with many skills, such as communication, problem solving and team work, amongst others.


Indoor team building activities are a good option for countries with generally bad weather, such as the UK. These are popular in the winter and can even be done in the evenings. These may include making a pop video, drumming classes, cake decorating or cocktail flaring, for example.

Outdoor events generally offer more action packed activities such as sports, and can be done in the countryside. They may involve water sports, such as jet skiing or canoeing, or other activities can be treasure hunts or assault courses.

A lot of businesses also hold annual parties to celebrate their success throughout the year and to reward staff and clients. This can also act as a great networking opportunity and create leads for new business. Often, these take place at the end of the year in the festive season, but any month is fine. An annual party theme idea can be created to make the event different and gain people’s interest. Themed food, decoration and activities are a fun way of getting everyone involved and there could even be a dress code on the invites. Getting an event planner involved is a good idea as it takes the weight off your shoulders and they have all the connections and experience to make everything run smoothly.

How to Turn a Corporate Event into a Success

The big fear when organising a corporate event is that it will be a failure. This article suggests some ways in which you can ensure this will not be the case. Keep reading to learn something new.

Have you been given the task of turning a corporate event into reality? This is daunting for most people, especially if there is no prior experience to rely on.

As such it can be a good idea to ensure you have plenty of preparation time. Being organised is the first thing you should strive for, as this can make a vast difference to the outcome.

Some people opt to hire corporate event organisers. These are professionals who work in the industry. It’s their job to ensure every event is a success for their clients. This might be a good idea for you if the mere thought of organising an event is making you break out in a sweat!

A theme is something else to think about. There are many annual party themes you can keep in mind and it pays to do so. This makes it easier to plan ahead because once you have a theme it helps dictate some of the other elements you will use.

Of course if you do decide to hire corporate event organisers they will be able to suggest annual party themes or other options that might prove useful in your case.

Planning is the key whatever approach you decide to take. Don’t be tempted to leave everything until the last minute and delegate tasks wherever you can. This is a great way to ensure you can achieve the results you (and everyone else) will be expecting. It also means you will be remembered for all the right reasons once the event is over.
