For VIRTUAL Holiday Parties:
1. Host a Jingle Mingle
A “Jingle Mingle” allows for larger teams to have small group conversations within breakout rooms. Provide a positive prompt to encourage conversation:
i.e. “What’s your favorite holiday movie?”
2. Send out Don’t Open Til’ the Party! Packages
Send out gifts to all team members. Include instructions to NOT open until the party so you can open them together.
Bonus Idea: Take a group screenshot of everyone holding their gifts!
3. Hire a Charmingly Engaging Emcee
An experienced emcee will keep your guests energized and engaged. Of course, if they have a unique blend of event planning and stand-up comedy experience *ahem*, they’ll definitely keep the party fun and flowing smoothly. I can suggest someone FABULOUS (Hint: It’s me, Lauren Ansley)!
For IN-PERSON Holiday Parties:
1. Utilize Nametags
Nametags are helpful, particularly for larger groups. They come in especially handy when plus-ones are included. Your newer team members will be truly thankful, too!
2. Set up Activity Stations
Playing games encourages camaraderie, connection and friendly competition. Example: Wind-Up Toy Races! Be sure to take photos to remember all the fun.
3. Hire an Engaging Emcee
An experienced emcee sets the tone, makes key announcements, facilitates the festivities, and keeps the party energy going. I can suggest the PERFECT person for the job (Hint: It’s definitely me – Lauren Ansley, Founder of Ansley Corporate Entertainment)!
