Is finding a date for your company holiday party in December proving to be difficult? Have you considered hosting it in January or February?
The planning experts at SKYLIGHT and 828 Planning in Denver have observed how hosting your company holiday party after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season can offer numerous benefits.
Here are five reasons why our expert planners recommend considering a holiday party in January or February:
Holiday Stress and Travel
December is often a whirlwind of holiday travel and time off, making it difficult to coordinate schedules. January and February, however, are calmer months, making it easier to plan your event without the stress of competing commitments. With the holiday rush behind them, employees will likely be more relaxed and able to fully enjoy the celebration. SKYLIGHT’s versatile and charming venue provides the perfect setting for a stress-free event where your team can unwind and have fun.
More Venue Availability
Venues are often booked solid for December events, but January and February are typically slower times for gatherings. This gives you more flexibility and a wider range of dates to choose from, particularly if you prefer a weekend party. At SKYLIGHT, we pride ourselves on our unique, industrial-chic space that adapts beautifully to any occasion. Planning your holiday party in January or February increases your chances of securing our highly sought-after venue without the stress of competing for a December date.
Better Pricing
As the peak season for events winds down, many venues and vendors offer attractive discounts. December is a high-demand month, which can drive up costs. Hosting your party in January or February can significantly reduce expenses, allowing you to stretch your budget further or indulge in extra amenities for your guests. Our team at 828 Planning is adept at maximizing budgets to create memorable and impactful events and can help you take advantage of these seasonal savings.
Creative Themes
The quieter months of January and February provide an excellent opportunity to explore more creative and unique themes for your holiday party. Instead of traditional holiday decor, consider:
- New Beginnings: Celebrate the start of a new year with themes focused on renewal and fresh starts.
- Winter Wonderland: Host a magical, winter-themed event with activities like ice skating, snowball fights, or cozying up around fire pits.
- Great Gatsby: Transport your guests to the roaring twenties with a glamorous, casino-style party complete with flapper dresses and jazz music.
Our team at SKYLIGHT loves collaborating with clients to bring all kinds of creative visions to life, making your annual celebration truly unforgettable.
Better Attendance
With the busy holiday season over, employees are less likely to have travel plans or competing events. You won’t have to worry about guests missing out due to other commitments or family gatherings. Hosting in January or February can lead to better attendance and a more enjoyable experience for everyone. At SKYLIGHT, we understand the importance of having all your team members present to celebrate and bond, and our venue can comfortably accommodate a range of group sizes, ensuring a great experience for all.
