When should you start planning a Christmas Party?
If you’re wondering when you should start planning a christmas party, the time is now! It’s that time of year again. Christmas items are popping up in every store you walk into. But why? After all, it’s only September.
Well for most companies, we’re already thinking about Christmas come July, ready for people, just like you, to start planning as early as possible. A lot of companies are even looking as early as May so it’s likely, all the best ideas will be sold out if you leave it too late.
A Christmas Party is something that every company will want to provide to their team this year. It’s the perfect way to reward your staff for all their hard work throughout the year and get into the festive spirit.
So… why should you plan a Christmas Party so early?
Planning months early can provide you with a stress-free couple of months. This is because planning this early on gives you plenty of time to figure out:
- Your group size
- Timings for your event
- Budget
- How you would like your event tailored to you and your team
- Any extra equipment you may need. This could range from a deluxe snack box to wine-tasting kits.
Alongside this, there are immeasurably more flexible booking terms. Deposits can be returned, and event dates can be swapped around. Your booking will also be secured a lot quicker, and small tweaks to your event can be made. You will have substantially more control and your event will therefore be exactly as you expect – high quality. What’s not to love?
With this, there will be fewer misunderstandings between you and one of our Event Managers, meaning you can get the perfect event for you and your team! Your event is also more likely to work with your schedule. If it’s going to counteract with a birthday or something, the quicker you let us know, the likelihood is you’ll be able to avoid a clash.
All this time will give you a chance to build up some excitement within your company, meaning you may be able to get even more people involved in your plans. This means you could even connect and branch out with people that you may not have known so well before! You may even bond better with people you may not have taken a liking to initially!
Planning so early will save you a lot of time in the long run. There will be fewer calls needing to be made, and you don’t have to worry about your event managers being busy with another customer. Nobody wants to be the one ringing people 24/7 trying to just find anything. Your colleagues will be looking forward to their Christmas Work Social and you don’t want to leave it too late.
