When you are planning a party or event for a large corporation, it can be difficult to know where to start, since these parties are often thrown on such a large scale- hundreds of people! This should be a time for you to relax and have a good time with your employees and coworkers, not stress about how you're going to pull the whole thing off. Below are some tips on planning and organizing the perfect corporate entertainment.

First, you need to figure out your budget. If your boss has asked you to plan this, then he may have already provided a budget for you. If not, check with a financial manager and ask them what your company has spent on these events in previous years. Stay in that general cost area when planning, and don't go overboard, which can be easy to do.

Planning all this can be way too much for one person to do alone, so you should get some help. Get a team of your coworkers together to help you, or hire a professional to assist you in your planning. This splits up the work load so that you only have to worry about the big stuff, and not the teeny little details, like what color the napkins should be. Have someone plan the menu, someone organize the event, someone else can find a location, etc.

Another thing you will have to decide on when planning is whether this will be formal or relaxed entertainment. You need to figure out if you are going to have a black tie event or something more casual and fun. This plays a big role in determining your location.

A black tie party is better suited to an indoor place such as an elegant hotel. Something more relaxed, such as a luau themed party, should be thrown somewhere fun and laid back, like a beach, if you have access to one.

Now it's time to work out the details with your coworkers or hired help. You'll need to send out invitations to everyone in your corporation so that they know when this event will occur and make sure to let them know how they need to be dressed. You will also need to start planning a menu based around your theme. No one wants to eat barbecue at a black tie type party.

Your event will also need to go along with the theme. For more laid-back entertainment, a comedian is an excellent choice. For formal events, perhaps a jazz or classical band is better suited for the party. Follow these instructions carefully and it will be guaranteed that your corporate entertainment will be fun and memorable for everyone.
