Parties used to be just among friends but the emergence of people throwing parties from work has started to become a trend. This could be because they spend more time with their coworkers than anyone else but it also has professional implications. Inviting a boss to a great party can help you in your career although it shouldn’t but not all bosses are perfect. Setting up your home for the party should be done a day or two in advance. You can see how the setup flows as far as walking through the home and if it fosters communication. The following are different ways to set up your home for a party with people from work attending.
After you have bought some clothes from Allen Edmonds with a coupon for Groupon it is time to set up the kitchen. People tend to gravitate towards the kitchen for the snacks and to socialize. Those homes with an island to stand around have an advantage but setting up a folding table can be just as effective. The attendees shouldn’t have to ask where cups are as they should be out. Instructing everyone where the cups as well as drinks are is something you can do while greeting groups at the door.
Getting out as much seating as possible for the party is extremely important. Not everybody is comfortable standing for the duration of the party no matter how much fun that they are having. A game should be set up on the living room table in order to get the attendees to play together. This game can be anything from cards to good old fashioned beer pong if you work in a millennial dominated office.
A deck can be a huge help when throwing a party as it doesn’t restrict the party to the inside of the home. There should be lighting out there but it has a variety of uses. This can be a place to the smokers to convene or even a place to put the food out if you are hosting a party during the day.
The above are great tips to throwing a party for your coworkers. A great party will be talked about for months and your management will see you as a team player which is invaluable.
