Hire a DJ till kontoret

I have played at many office parties and have always had fun. The beer fridge is close, the desks are moved to the sides and the dance floor is officially open. I've also been involved in bar/party games like dance duels, or if you want to really challenge yourself, drink a drink through a colleague's sock! Disgusting! Otherwise, just let the music flow and make sure everyone has a memorable night. All you have to do is book, the rest is taken care of by DJ Carl "London DJ".London DJ“.

Essential things to make the party really great

Now that you're full of ideas, here are six additional points to consider that will make your party run like clockwork and make sure everyone goes home happy

Check with your office before choosing a theme

 

As you've seen, there are tons of fun new themes for office parties. If you're organizing the office party yourself, it can be easy to get excited about certain ideas without asking the office, so it's important to give them a voice.

Suggest some ideas to them, but also be receptive to their thoughts. If you desperately want to organize a karaoke party, but no one in the office is motivated by the idea, it would not make sense to carry it out. Choosing a theme together that everyone is happy with is much more likely to create excitement and encourage people to participate.

Find the right venue

 

Regardless of what you are planning, a suitable venue is crucial. Don't try to save by choosing the nearest cheap bar or pub. Think about what you are planning, the number of guests and try to find a venue that suits your needs. It includes any support or equipment you may need, such as an open bar, bartenders, professional staff, IT support and DJs, among others.

Also, consider the location of your premises. The right place is one that is easy for everyone to reach. This may mean compromises are needed – think it through carefully in advance and take into account where your attendees will be traveling from.

Depending on your plans, a truly unique yet familiar place for your guests will make everyone feel welcome and comfortable at all times. Avoid choosing the easy solution and holding the party in the office, instead change the location a bit and add excitement to the familiar. You can find a variety of fun and interesting places using our free and easy place finder here..

Get started on the drinks

 

Another good icebreaker is to offer a nice welcome drink to help everyone feel at home and calm any pre-party jitters. Make sure to havve enough drinks and offer a choice of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options throughout the evening. Of course, there will be a certain degree of moderation at an office party. Don't get your hopes up that the night will be great just because of the drinks. Center the evening around the planned activities and see the drinks as a welcome addition, rather than the most important part of the party.

Engage yourself

Var inte för blyg för att njuta av festen själv! Som chef och arrangör kan det vara lätt att sitta vid sidan av och låta alla andra ha roligt. Bryt mönstret och se till att mingla, ha kul och få alla att känna sig bekväma. Detta kommer smitta av sig på alla andra och hjälpa alla att njuta av ögonblicket i en avslappnad atmosfär.

Embrace the moment

 

How often do you all have the opportunity to meet in a non-work environment? Take advantage of this opportunity to celebrate together and strengthen relationships in the office. If you've chosen an interesting theme or activity, go all out to make it special and don't skimp just to save money. Use your entire budget in the best possible way and try to impress. After all, you want people to come to the office for days to come and talk about how great the party was.

Embrace the moment
Tack

Last but not least: Say thank you.

Be sure to thank everyone for coming and do your best to make them feel welcome. As well as creating a lovely atmosphere with food, drink and music, why not buy some small farewell gifts to add a personal touch?

Try to get rid of any stress in the beginning, it will ensure a relaxed and fun office party. Try to take photos for fond memories and share them on your social media platforms and office bulletin board. A successful office party can be the start of something much bigger and provide a positive mentality in your workplace.
