The holidays are in full swing, which is difficult for many of us to believe. If it seems like the season snuck up on you, you aren’t alone. There barely seem to be enough days in the month for planning holiday get-togethers, much less corporate parties! The good news is that a holiday party is about coming together to celebrate, so the timing isn’t as important as the thought behind it. Instead of trying to cram in a corporate catered party in Augusta pre-Christmas, why not plan it for afterward? These are five reasons that a catered party is just as good as a holiday hangover one!
The Holiday Season is Stressful
There is no doubt that the holidays are the best time of year. That doesn’t mean, however, that they don’t come without some stress! Having family, friends, and a full-time career, is a lot of people to appease before the holiday’s end. If you plan a post-holiday or holiday hangover party for your employees, you take the stress off of being obligated to run all over town to attend everything on their already-busy schedule!
Give Them a Carrot
The holidays are amazing, but there is something sad about waking up on New Year’s Day. The realization that it will be another year before you have friends and family and holiday cheer, can be depressing. What better way to perk up the office than to plan a post-season party with just their work buddies. How great is a time to unwind, exhale, and enjoy non-pressured time with nowhere to go and nothing going on?!
It is Probably Going to be Cheaper to Have a Post-Season Catered Party in Augusta
Supply and demand are real even for the holidays, which means that there is more competition and higher prices. Usually, if you don’t have something picked out well in advance, you’re left scrambling to find either a venue to hold your holiday party or a corporate caterer in Lexington who is available at the last minute. It is never a good idea to plan something with very few options. If you plan it after the first of the year, you are likely going to have your pick. Most people have had enough of parties – but not you! That means you can have the party you dreamed of for a fraction of the cost!
A More Relaxed Feel
The holidays are fun, but they are also a lot! Most people have so much on their list that they are really only half into everything and are run ragged. If you give your employees a time when they can really enjoy the time away without anything on their minds, they will have much more fun. By having it post-holiday, you will be the only thing on their minds and they will be able to live in the moment instead of running from one thing to the next!
You Can Relax Now and Enjoy Your Holiday
Being the boss definitely has many perks, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t have to sacrifice. If you are caught up in planning a holiday party, then likely you have to let something else go. You too are running in ten different directions and have obligations with friends and family. Wouldn’t you rather have a party when you can sit with your employees, get to know them, reconnect, and have the time to really tell them how much you appreciate them? If you plan the party post-holiday, then you can also be in the moment and enjoy the time that is just for them, not time that is squeezed in out of necessity.
If you are like most of us, the holidays have taken you by surprise. Instead of trying to pivot and find somewhere to hold your holiday party and a date that fits, why not just postpone your holiday party and let your employees know that you will be having a catered corporate party after the New Year where everyone can let their hair down, enjoy socializing, and nurse their holiday hangover together?
