Festive, End-of-Year Celebrations

With more employees working remotely, in-person gatherings become even more critical opportunities to connect, build camaraderie, and have fun. If your company hosts a year-end celebration, here are a few ideas to transform it into an event to remember.

A New Twist on Beverages

With a stronger focus on the Mocktail Movement, many event planners are including creative ways to offer tasty nonalcoholic options alongside their booze-infused counterparts. Hiring a mixologist skilled in the art of mocktails can help guests who don’t imbibe feel just as special as those who do. Plus, they can design a signature, and shareworthy, drink for your next event.

If your event has an outdoor venue, consider a branded mobile bar from a company like Sip Social Co. to offer guests a fun experience featuring alcoholic and nonalcoholic choices.

But if a curated bartender or mobile experience isn’t your vibe, consider offering customizable drink stations to allow your guests to select their favorite choices. Like those seen at restaurants and movie theaters, custom drink stations are successfully popping up at event venues, much to the delight of attendees who can hydrate with the drink of their choice on their schedule.

Feed the ‘Gram

To entice shareworthy photos, create hashtags for your special event and provide a festive Insta-worthy photo backdrop. To make it extra special, consider adding a red carpet with velvet rope line and hire a professional photographer alongside several staff members who can snap photos with guests’ phones. Showcase photo collages in real-time on digital screens throughout the event.

Keep the Party Going

Give your guests a musical souvenir to enjoy long after the party ends. Share upbeat curated Spotify playlists or enlist Mobile Vinyl Recorders to create records in real time using restored, vintage equipment. Your event’s coolness factor will chart in the top 10, guaranteed.

Build Next-level Camaraderie

Investing in interactive experiences is another way to make your year-end celebration memorable while building stronger team connections. Consider hosting parties in venues such as escapes rooms and interactive art installations to elevate the guest experience. Or incorporate virtual reality, online gaming, scavenger hunts, and other experiences to encourage collaboration and teamwork while amping up the fun.

Whatever you’d like to do to elevate your end-of-year celebration, we’re here to turn your vision into a memorable event your employees will love.
