Awards/ Trophies – Depending on the style of your event, if you have the chance throughout the evening, you could take the opportunity to say an extra thanks to the stars of your company. You could put together a range of awards and give them out, this can be fun and light-hearted.

Organise transport – To ensure for the best turn out possible, why not put together a range of transport to different locations in the area. That way, people do not have an excuse not to attend and this shows that you really want to be there.

Table Plan – if you have a large business, it may be wise to mix up the table plans. You can put different people on a table together who do not usually mix with each other. That way, everyone can really get to know one and other and keep the place buzzing.
