Corporate Holiday Menus On A Budget In Cartersville, GA
October 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment
If money is as tight for you as it is for us in Cartersville, it shouldn’t have to mean no holiday party for your employees. When you weigh the benefits of having everyone get together in a positive atmosphere of a holiday party, it just makes sense.
Where will you have your party?
Tough time equals good deals on finding a venue for your party. Getting your employees involved in picking the venue has many strong benefits. Having a contest and awarding a gag prize for the winner will supply lots of great options and will not cost anything. The talk about the contest will create some good buzz for the event.
Between cold weather and possible snow or rain, you want to try and keep the venue local. People will have other parties to attend during the season and may cancel if the drive is to difficult or hard to find.
A Theme Makes Everything Easier
By having a theme, several other steps become much easier. Again with a theme you are creating a buzz before the actual event. Even if some hard core employees think it is stupid you are still getting them involved in anticipating the event. But lets focus on the excited employees.
Once you have selected the theme, everything else falls into place. Getting decorations and decorating becomes fun since all the participants know exactly what you are looking for. There are several great sites on the web that have decoration for any kind of theme at very reasonable prices.
Find a Caterer
Finding a caterer who specializes in Holiday Catering is a big plus. The food is a big part of the success of your event and look for a caterer with experience. Find a caterer who is excited about cooking for your party theme instead of just offering the same old fare. Make sure the caterer understands completely what you expect of them, so there are no surprised later.
Menu Please
Now that you have a theme and a caterer the menu should fall into place. Yet now is also the time for creativity. Do your best to steer away from the same old same old. Actually a good trick is to look at several menus and compile a list of the typical items. Then agree not to use any of these items.
As explained with food tastes be careful of comparing pricing from different towns. Do not expect to pay the same price for a party in Cartersville as you would for the same event in Kennesaw.
Take into account the time of day of the party. People will each much more food at dinner time than they will at a party right after work or later in the evening. Also people will tend to eat more if there is alcohol being served. Spend some time with your Holiday Caterer and make some appropriate choices.
Pricing for individual items can also vary greatly. Be fair with your holiday caterer and don’t expect to get prime rib for chopped steak prices. If you are careful to pick some expensive items with an equal amount of inexpensive items you should come out just right.
If you live in Kennesaw or any other city, by following these simple suggestions and asking the help of your holiday caterer and employees you are certain to have your best holiday party.
