A hip drink, a fancy gala or bowling with the company and finish with an all-you-can-eat buffet. Corporate parties come in all shapes and sizes. A company party is a way to recognize your employees for their hard work. New and more intensive contacts will arise, resulting in better communication, which leads to more satisfaction and less absenteeism. In short, all noses are pointing in the same direction again! Unfortunately, company parties are often the first to cut costs when a company is struggling financially. That is why we give you 10 tips for organizing a low-budget company party.

10 tips for a low-budget and successful company party

Draw up a clear budget for the company party. This is the clear guideline while organizing the party.

1. Be as creative as possible in reducing costs. Ask yourself if there are other (cheaper) solutions. The biggest costs of a company party are often: -Transport
   -Party location
   -Catering
   -Decoration
   -Audiovisual means
2. Is the purpose of the company party conviviality, team building or hilarity? Ask your colleagues what they consider important.
3. Whenever possible, use your own location. If necessary, use the outdoor environment (a courtyard/parking lot).
4. When an activity precedes the party, plan an activity from the location. Put together the teams yourself. For example, you can keep the party location a secret. On the basis of a treasure hunt, teams can get one step closer to the party location. For example, do you have your company party at Level Eleven then make a treasure hunt as follows:– Which city in the Netherlands has more canals than Venice?
   Amsterdam
   – Which city in the Netherlands has the most square meters of museum on earth?
   Amsterdam
   – It is also a cleaning agent..
   Ajax
   – When you are at a certain level of a game, you are also in a certain..
   Level
   – On what day of the month did the plane crash that flew into the Twin Towers occur in New York?
   Eleven
5. Do not hire a catering company, but ask your staff for a small contribution or make it a fun cooking workshop.
6. Participate in “company tournaments”. These are organized by local sports clubs and the costs are very low.
7. Involve your colleagues in organizing the company party. For example, colleagues may use their own network. Always handy if there is a colleague with a cousin as a DJ.
8. For decoration, it is best to go first to the storage space of your company. Maybe there are nice things in here (Christmas lights, etc.). When you organize a theme party, there are always some useful items that match the theme or that can be used when hanging decorations.
9. Finally, it is important to observe the work-related costs scheme. For more information about the WKR, we refer to 5 tips.
