Country & Western Themes for Corporate Events

Thinking of the best corporate party ideas will propel your small party planning business to instant stardom!

Planning a party for a business is often a challenge. Imagine trying to please a big group of people and making sure that the party experience is good enough for each and every one of them? It’s tough, to say the least. But don’t get worried yet, because it IS achievable!

Something that sets corporate parties apart from many other types of parties is the fact that the budget is often large. Few buosses, at least the popular one, will scrimp on corporate events. They know it’s one of the best ways to pamper their employees. In fact, so many employees who give their best in the workplace look forward to the annual party because it’s a chance to connect with others without putting on their work faces and hard hats. These are the team members you want to please. Your corporate party ideas have to zero in on the needs and wants of the company’s best employees.

As the budget is almost limitless, and because you’re not the only party planner in town, you can be sure that a bidding war will take place. Companies often make their plans public, and your role is to get their attention. So the next question is… what exactly will get the attention of these bosses? Will it be the testimonials from previous clients? Will it be the number of awards you managed to acquire? It’s none of these…

It’s your ability to present the best corporate party ideas that will win you the job.

The first thing an event coordinator needs to do is to find out what has been done in the past, i.e. in terms of themes and giveaways. Before putting in your bid, you need to research the company’s party history; including the small details such as how many employees attended and the general feedback. Did last year’s family picnic alienate the non-married employees? Did the dance music turn off the baby boomers? How many employees actually attended the racing-themed charity raffle? Review the actual numbers to discover which party themes the employees found the best fun.

Consider your corporate party ideas and the employee’s age groups. Think of the music that will be playing during the party. If you noticed that most of the employees (and the bosses) are forty-ish, then the party agenda must include the music type that existed during the 1980s: new wave, punk rock and disco. Perhaps take it a step further by adopting an “eighties party” theme.

Remember the best corporate party ideas are those that encourage the most participation. Conider a 80s or 90s costume competition (with a catwalk or a runway), or a Disco Fever Contest? If you stimulate the employee’s creativity and competitive spirit, you can be sure that the party will be a blast!
