Planning a corporate event is a great way to boost morale, encourage team bonding and build connection. To make your event stand out and get maximum participation from your employees, consider adding a theme. Incorporating a theme for your corporate event sets the tone for guests and gives them an idea for what to expect. It offers something to relate to and can serve as a great conversation starter. There are several ways to thread your theme throughout the event. Here are some best practices to planning themed corporate events:
Corporate Catering to Enhance Theme
Catering is an important aspect of any corporate event. Choose a menu that supports your theme and brings it to life with flavor. For example, a tropical theme could include fun, fruity drinks, desserts and side items. Take specific treats from movies or shows that are well-known. You can also get creative with how your menu items are laid out to create a specific image. Adding signage with creative names for the food items is a unique touch. RH Events & Catering specializes in building menus that encourage efficiency and maximum enjoyment for your corporate event.
Décor & Signage for Themed Corporate Events
Adding décor is the easiest way to incorporate a theme throughout an event. Include décor to a welcome booth, on the food tables, and all throughout the event space. Creating signs with verbiage and images related to the theme will help to drive it home. Choosing a color scheme for tablecloths, table settings, florals, balloons and more will also contribute to the theme and overall ambiance. Including a Photo Booth is a fun way to make your event memorable and provide a keepsake.
Enhance Your Corporate Event Theme with Curated Playlists and Lively Music
Choosing the right music will set the tone and mood of the event. If you are creating a winter wonderland, create a playlist to enhance the experience. A plated dinner event indoors will call for something different than a company picnic outdoors. Consider the ambiance you’re creating when deciding on music.
Props, Mascots, Gifts & Prizes for your Corporate Event
Another great way to enhance a theme is to include props or a mascot for a photo opportunity. RH Events & Catering has planned several events with mascots and characters included. Guests love the interaction and the photo-ops.
If you’re hosting a company picnic that includes prizes or awards, consider how those can be relevant to the theme. These take home items will contribute to the lasting memories and benefits of a company picnic. A gift or prize won will provide something you and your family can enjoy beyond the day.
