The holiday season is a chance to celebrate your team’s achievements. Imagine the room filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and festive décor perfectly reflecting your vision. Planning a corporate party that hits all the right notes can feel exciting and rewarding. With some smart steps, you can make it memorable, fun, and stress-free for everyone.
1. Choose the Right Venue
Where your party takes place sets the tone for the entire event. Will it feel cozy and intimate or lively and grand? Avanti International Resort offers thoughtfully designed layouts, flexible seating, and AV-ready rooms, all supported by the expertise of our culinary team to create the perfect environment for celebrating, mingling, and enjoying the holiday spirit.
Think about flow as well. A venue that supports easy movement between dining and entertainment keeps guests comfortable and engaged. When the space works seamlessly, your team can focus on having fun instead of worrying about logistics.
2. Set a Budget That Works for Your Team
Budgeting does not have to feel restrictive. Instead, see it as a way to prioritize the experiences that matter most. Are cocktails and festive décor your must-haves? Or is interactive entertainment the highlight? When you allocate resources thoughtfully, every element of the party contributes to a memorable celebration.
3. Plan the Menu with Impact
Food plays a central role in any celebration. Picture your team enjoying a festive dessert station or raising a glass with a holiday-inspired cocktail. Work with your catering team to design a menu that feels both special and inclusive, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
3 Tips for a Crowd-Pleasing Menu:
• Include a well- structured menu of appetizers, main courses, and desserts for variety
• Feature a signature or seasonal drink to add a festive touch, from creative cocktails to refreshing mocktails
• Offer interactive options like dessert bars or passed hors d’oeuvres to keep guests mingling
Even one personalized touch can make your menu stand out.
Energy drives excitement. Music, games, and interactive moments keep the party lively. Imagine laughter filling the room during a trivia round or your team capturing memories at a holiday-themed photo booth. Employee awards or small take-home gifts show appreciation and make your event feel personal.
Ideas to Boost Engagement:
• DJ or live music to energize the room
• Holiday-themed trivia or icebreakers
• Photo booth or employee recognition moments
5. Simplify Logistics and Timing
A well-timed and well-coordinated event means everyone can relax, celebrate, and create lasting memories. Pick a date that maximizes attendance, often early December or a Friday evening. On-site accommodations and group room blocks at Avanti International Resort make planning easier for remote workers attending the festivities. Out of town team members can make their trip a full weekend getaway with easy access to Orlando's top theme parks, attractions, entertainment, shopping, and nightlife.
