5 ways to plan a spectacular year-end party

This article is brought to you by Orange Clove Catering.

In the blink of an eye, 2017 is coming to an end. You could have had a trying year or a victorious one filled with much achievements. Regardless, there is always a reason to get together with your co-workers to celebrate and usher in a new year. Here, we share five ways to plan a spectacular year-end party that is sure to leave an impression.

1. Develop a strong theme/concept

A memorable party always has a theme that runs through the event. From the invitation to the decoration of the venue and even the choice of songs - delight your guests with a mambo vibe or a rock and roll setting. Get out of the ordinary and avoid themes that are overused.

2. Food and drinks!

Good food + good drinks = perfect party

This is as simple as an elementary math question can get, mouth-watering food and thirst quenching beverages are always the highlight at an event. If you are holding an office party, find a caterer who is able to dress the buffet line up for you.

3. Surprise with a customised bar

Are you tired of the usual orange juice, iced lemon tea or hot coffee and tea at a function? This is a year-end party and it deserves a different treatment! Consider the engagement of a customised bar to serve up attractive mocktails. Have the luxury of a higher budget? How about a mocktail or cocktail specially shaken and named after your company?

4. Have an insta-worthy feature

Have you always desired for a program that is not run of the mill? Or perhaps your co-workers are already tired of the customary photobooth? It’s not difficult to arrange for a highlight that will attract eyeballs. Think mobile karaoke room, roving sushi belt or an enchanting dessert bar that will get your guests whipping out their phones for an insta-worthy moment.

5. Decorate with furniture

Accentuate the theme of the day with furniture as attention to detail always serves to impress. Are you having a rowdy drinking party? Consider hiring benches that are sturdy enough for excited guests to jump on. Will the event be held in the evening? Why not have illuminated cocktail tables to add on to the mood? Create an exceptional ambience with a little bit of creativity.

If all of the above still seem complex to you, why not appoint an events caterer who can handle everything for you? From the sourcing of venues to the catering of exceptional menus, Orange Clove is here to provide a solution. Contact us at 6515 0991 or enquiry@orangeclove.com.sg to find out more.
