Christmas Office Party Ideas: Helpful Hints
Gathering Christmas office party ideas that everyone will enjoy can be a challenge ... until now! You already know that Christmas office parties should appeal to the variety of people who work together. Make sure that all choices from party food and beverages to activities have broad appeal.
When booking a catering service select both vegetarian and meat dishes.
If you're serving alcoholic beverages, include a nice selection of non-alcoholic drinks as well.
When sending invitations be clear about attire, whether it will be "dress casual" or "cocktail" attire.
Include everyone. Consider having a "holiday party" with a winter theme or general holiday theme if there are people in the office who celebrate other
holidays during the season. You'll find several fun and appropriate ideas here at Themed-Party-Ideas.
Select a charity that everyone in your office would like to support. Toys for Tots, local food banks, or the Salvation Army might be charities to consider. If you have an office full of animal lovers (like ours) you can even support your local animal shelter for Christmas.
Get creative with your charity drive. For instance, you can host a secret Santa gift exchange. All participants put their name in a hat. The names are then passed out. Each participant purchases a gift for the person whose name they drew.
The catch? Gifts should represent what the giver feels the recipient would have enjoyed as a kid. The gifts are given out at the party, but the recipient only gets to enjoy looking at the gift for the night. All gifts are then donated to the charity at the end of your party.
For a food drive, set up a table (rather than a box) to collect to items. As party guests enter, they put their donations on the table. This is a great way for guests to visualize just how much is being donated. Take a photo of the table and post it with a thank you note after the party to let everyone know their gifts are appreciated.
