If you are a SME, it can be challenging to create a party atmosphere for
your staff Christmas party. This is much different for larger companies
where they have the headcounts to help get the year-end celebrations going and
planned. As well as giving your staff the chance to let their hair down,
holding a Christmas Party is a valuable way of rewarding them for all their
hard work.
To add, given the smaller budget for SMEs, there are limitations to how
grand you can have a party. Choosing the right location and setting for your
party is important to enhance the feeling of cohesiveness among staff. A
poor setting, basic food and low budget Christmas decorations could leave your
staff feeling undervalued and defeat the purpose of having the party in the
first place.
As spoken earlier, there are limitations to the venue selections due to
constraint budget for smaller companies. During this season of the year, most
eateries are offering only Christmas Sets and Menu, and they don’t come cheap.
Drinks are another factor you need to consider when dining at restaurants. You
can’t possibly exclude alcohol when it is the year-end party right!
All in all, the budget for each headcount will easily come up to a
hundred and company size of 20-30 will easily set you back by the thousands.
One of the more feasible ideas will be to do everything in-house! You
can set aside some budget to get the Christmas decorations done up starting
from November, with all these involving your staff. This is also a good form of
team building! Getting a Christmas tree and nice accessories from wholesalers
will only set you back by a few hundred.
By having a Christmas party in the office, make sure you have the tables’
settings change to accommodate the event. You do not want a ‘feel’ where your
staff still have the feeling of being in the office. Don’t save on the décor in
this sense!
Next, FOOD! This is the most important aspect of
the party. Many
restaurants are offering takeaways Christmas set menu. If you have a staff strength of
30, you
can source for buffet catering companies that
provide buffet delivery Singapore to your
desired location. Many caterers out there are offering Christmas buffet menu, Christmas
set menu or mini buffet Singapore for this
season. Fret not for smaller groups as you can choose from their mini buffet catering selection, high tea buffet catering or even a la carte menu. Don’t
forget to do your due diligent research on buffet catering recommendation on any social accounts or forums for the best
deal in town to have a cheap buffet catering and
preferably one that can waive off the mini buffet delivery fee to further
reduce the overall cost.
