Chic and Simple Holiday Party

Gather your staff for cocktails, trivia games and traditional white elephant gift exchange. keep the bar simple with white wines and Pellegrino add a simple buffet with a spread of cheeses, charcuterie and fruit. Its reads as very chic and can be done in your office or at a staff member’s home. Just remember that if you are hosting it in a public space, away from familiar surroundings, that the younger employees amongst you have the relevant identification with them, (you can look for the best fake id sites here if needs be) so that no questions are asked about their age, and you can enjoy your festivities in peace. This won’t happen if you hold it in your office or home, so location can also be key to having a good time.

Host a Holiday Office Break and Gift Drive

An afternoon break of gourmet flavored popcorn and root beer can be a great way to thank staff and host a holiday gift drive for under privileged children.A fun and meaningful holiday event without breaking the bank.

Play some games

One way to get the whole office interacting with one another is by playing games. Not only will these games bring everyone together and bring the holiday cheer, they also act as team building games too! You could keep it simple but playing games like celebrity heads or guess who, or turn it up a notch by playing card games or even have a poker tournament. Of course, you’d have to give the office some notice before hand so they can brush up on their skills but it could all be quite a lot of fun.
