Hosting a holiday gathering for your workforce shows your appreciation for their dedication throughout the year. Many employers choose to host a lunch to celebrate with their team, giving them a well-deserved break during business hours. If you’re considering a special event to wrap up a successful year of business, here’s what you should know about the planning process. 

Considerations for Scheduling

One of the first questions your venue will ask is what date you have in mind. Some employers prefer to plan their events as close to the holidays as possible to ensure attendees are in festive spirits. Others may plan the gathering for an earlier date, since some employees may take time off as the holidays approach. Whichever option you choose, make sure the date doesn’t coincide with any major work events, such as important deadlines or end-of-year meetings.   

What to Know Before Booking

Your venue may request an estimated headcount, so it's essential to consider who you’ll be inviting. For instance, will all departments and employees be in attendance, and will they be allowed to bring a guest? While you might not need to make your menu decisions at the time of booking, you may be asked what type of gathering you’re considering, such as a lunch or dinner.  

Finalizing the Details

Once you have your holiday party booked with your venue, it’s time to put the final details in place. Consider how you want to decorate for your lunch or dinner. Many venues will already have holiday-themed decor throughout the facility, but you may want to add personal touches, such as centerpieces for each table. 

You’ll want to consider whether to provide entertainment, such as live music or a DJ, and whether any speeches will take place. You could also have holiday-themed games or giveaways. Finally, you’ll want to confirm your menu options and headcount.
