Are you finding it tough to secure a December date for your company holiday party? Consider hosting it in January or February instead.
The 828 Planning team at THE 101 in Seattle has observed firsthand how holding your company holiday party after the busy holiday season can be highly beneficial.
Here are five reasons why our expert planners suggest considering a holiday party in January-February:
Reduced Holiday Stress and Travel
December is often packed with holiday travel and vacations, making it a hectic time for everyone. In contrast, January and February are typically less busy, allowing for easier event planning and date selection. With the holiday rush behind them, employees will be more relaxed and able to fully enjoy the celebration. THE 101’s modern and versatile venue provides the perfect setting for a stress-free event where your team can unwind and have fun.
Increased Venue Availability
Venues are often booked well in advance for December, but January and February are naturally slower for events. This gives you greater flexibility and a wider range of dates to choose from, especially if you prefer a weekend party. At THE 101, we pride ourselves on our beautiful, contemporary space that can be tailored to suit any occasion. Planning your party in January or February increases your chances of securing our sought-after venue without the competition for December dates.
Cost Savings
With December being in high demand, event costs can skyrocket. Hosting your party in January or February, during the off-peak season, can significantly reduce expenses. These savings allow you to allocate your budget more effectively or even splurge on additional amenities for your guests. Our team at THE 101 is skilled at maximizing budgets to create memorable and impactful events, helping you take advantage of these seasonal savings.
Creative Themes
The months of January and February provide a fantastic opportunity to explore more creative and unique themes for your holiday party. Instead of the usual holiday decor, consider these exciting options:
- New Beginnings: Celebrate the start of a new year with themes focused on renewal and fresh starts.
- Snow Social: Host a playful, winter-themed event with activities like ice skating, snowball fights, or sledding.
- Great Gatsby: Transport your guests to the roaring twenties with a glamorous, casino-style party complete with flapper dresses and jazz music.
828 Planning loves working with clients to bring all kinds of creative visions to life, ensuring your annual celebration is truly unforgettable.
Improved Attendance
With the busy holiday season over, employees are more likely to be available and free from other commitments. This can lead to higher attendance rates and a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. At THE 101, we understand the importance of having your entire team present to celebrate and bond. Our spacious venue can accommodate various group sizes, making it the perfect location for your event.
Starting the New Year Right
Booking a holiday party in January or February is an excellent way to kick off the new year with your employees. It provides a positive boost to morale and gives everyone something exciting to look forward to after the holidays. At THE 101, our expert planners are dedicated to making your event seamless and memorable.
