On the eve of the New Year's bustle, it's time to think about celebrating a noisy and cheerful corporate party. After all, such parties are very popular nowadays. They bring a sense of celebration to employees, strengthen relationships within the team and simply give them a good mood.
In large noisy companies, a harmonious atmosphere is especially important. Well, where else will there be an opportunity for the team to tune in to the general wave, if not at a party among employees? In order for the corporate event to take place in a relaxed and fun atmosphere, you need to use your imagination and take a responsible approach to your goal. Despite the fact that there is still a lot of time until the New Year 2021, it is worth starting to select the best option for the company and organizing a holiday that will be remembered for a long time.
Budget corporate party for the New Year - 2021
If the company consists of a large number of people and the financial possibilities are not so high for a chic party, there are many other options for how to hold a corporate party without much expense and at the same time give considerable pleasure to the employees. The most common way to celebrate the New Year inexpensively and cheerfully is to set the table in the office. A great option is to come up with different competitions, prepare New Year’s music for the background in advance, or, if possible, invite a team with karaoke equipment. It is advisable to appoint a person who will lead the celebration. This role is best played by the most cheerful employee of the team, as they say - “the soul of the company.”
As for dishes for the holiday table, you can easily prepare them yourself or order them in a cafe. If you decide to choose the second option, then you need to discuss collectively what the holiday menu will be. Light appetizers, assorted meats and fish, salads without mayonnaise, and an abundance of canapés are a must on the table. Don’t forget about those with a sweet tooth, who definitely exist in the team. In order not to deprive them of their favorite dessert, also take care of the drinks and their quantity. Calculate so that there is enough for everyone. And of course, table setting can be creative!
An interesting idea to organize a party in a themed style, for example, in a pirate or shocking eighties format. To do this, you should think ahead about what kind of interior to create and prepare the necessary props.
If you’re a little tired of the office, it’s a good idea to organize a corporate event in nature. Fragrant barbecues, champagne, the crackle of a fire, noise and fun with games in the frosty air will delight you with a pleasant holiday atmosphere. But for this, of course, the weather must be suitable, and the holiday should not be considered spoiled.
Down with banality!
Themed weddings, birthdays, parties on occasion and without... Why can only get-togethers among family or friends have such interesting entertainment revolving around one chosen theme?
[ads_middle_center]
After all, a corporate party, and especially a New Year’s party, is more than conducive to developing the unity of the surroundings, script and costumes and playing it all out, as if from the notes! And in this case it is not at all necessary to remember the carnivals that are boring to everyone - finally, give free rein to your imagination and drive away snobbery!
For such a party to be a success, first of all, you should think about where you can hold it, because a lot will depend on this. For example, you must admit that an 18th-19th century ball in the narrow cubicle rooms of an office space will look a little not very good...
Just like a pirate party in a rented newfangled club, where loft smoothly flows into high-tech, and vice versa, no matter how you drape or decorate them. However, here the wings of fantasy can be clipped by the nasty fact that the choice of location is greatly influenced by the budget allocated for the event...
If he is generous enough, you can not skimp and just rent an establishment in the chosen style. Fortunately, now every more or less self-respecting restaurant or club prefers to be decorated in a special way.
If nothing in your assets inspires you, and it takes a long time and is difficult to vacate your own office in order to give the party enough space, you can simply rent any room - yes, even a gym at a nearby school!
But in these cases you will have to work hard on the decoration - it’s not like covering the windows with paper snowflakes, hanging a couple of well-worn rain showers under the ceilings and sticking Christmas tree branches in all available places.
As for the choice of the topic itself, everything, of course, depends on the specifics and size of the team itself, and even, interestingly, on the direction of the company. Agree, it is unlikely that a reputable bank will adequately perceive the idea of organizing a biker party in a punk rock style...
But, in general, you can remember quite a few of the most neutral types of scenarios, more or less liked by everyone and quite simple to implement: gangster a la the 20s of the last century, pirate (with all variations - from ship to " port"/"tavern" surroundings), high society ball of the 17th-18th centuries, cowboy ranch, disco of the 80s, something based on fantasy (from Potter's Hoggwarts - let people remember their childhood, after all, to full-fledged Tolkienism for experienced cosplayers ), or knightly according to the historical Middle Ages.

Moreover, it’s not enough to just announce the theme and decorate the room in a suitable way, as well as distribute props for costumes to employees or ask them to dress up themselves - it’s also important to convey the spirit of the chosen style through the script.
For example, if you’re going to take on something pirate-related, you can organize a competition to select a team to travel for treasure and play it all up nicely. If you are going to create some kind of academy for wizards, then you should definitely organize the awarding of diplomas after the symbolic examinations - also, by the way, an excellent reason for a bunch of different competitions.
Knights cannot do without the Round Table, competitive lists, competitions in serenades and other things... In a word, we are all children at heart, even those who are well over 40-50. Therefore, an interesting game scenario at a New Year’s corporate party is more than a good decision.
Corporate event 2021 for a large company
For a large company, organizing a corporate event is a very difficult task. But there is one big plus - financial capabilities will allow you to organize a holiday at the highest level. The organization can be entrusted to a holiday agency, or this task can be offered to employees who have good imagination and a sense of humor.
When choosing an entertainment program for the holidays, you need to focus on the following nuances:
- age category of the team;
- the number of employees;
- corporate budget for celebration.
You can prepare an appropriate party for a young, energetic team. For those employees who are older, master classes, wine tasting and many other interesting activities would be a good option.
Choosing a holiday menu
A professional event agency will offer a rich gastronomic program. A pig is a living creature that loves to eat tasty and satisfying food, so you shouldn’t skimp. Astrologers recommend betting on the following products:
- nuts;
- citrus;
- cinnamon;
- legumes;
- cereals;
- mushrooms;
- fruits;
- berries;
- fresh vegetables.
Baked veal with apples or chicken fillet are used as the main dish. As a satisfying and at the same time light side dish, I use a salad that includes cheese, pomegranate, meat or mushrooms.
Important! Drinks must be of natural origin. We are talking about fruit drinks, vodka and wine.
New Year's master classes for colleagues
There are a large number of options for such an interesting entertainment - place-class. You can prepare a master class on New Year's cooking, training in creative arts such as batik, decoupage or Venetian painting, a fascinating and educational master class on making perfumes and soaps, and making chocolates. All topics are relevant on the eve of the New Year 2021.
New Year's corporate party photography
To ensure that the party is never forgotten, you can invite a photographer and toastmaster with costumes and fun, energetic competitions, musicians with backdrops and special lighting and music equipment. Photos are the best memory, and if they are made in a stunning, unusual style, then the festive evening will probably remain in the memory of employees for a long time, along with a great mood.
Youth corporate party for the New Year: fun and nothing but fun
For a young, cheerful and energetic team, it is worth considering the presence of a variety of games, driving music, and, of course, competitions. Undoubtedly, it is best to turn to the services of professional presenters who can lift everyone’s spirits and maintain it throughout the entire party. A good option is to invite artists, dancers, magicians, and a team with special karaoke equipment, but all this only if finances allow such luxury.
Types of entertainment
If you don’t want your corporate party to be like thousands of others and, even worse, like one of those that you already organized several years earlier, you should not resort to the services of companies that organize such events, such professional holiday makers, but come up with all on our own, involving team activists and local talents.
Or, if you trust the organization to someone outside, then at least demand the script for approval. As for the party itself, of course, it’s not enough to offer people a theme and design – you also need to provide them with quality entertainment throughout the evening.
And, naturally, it is important to try so that this does not ultimately turn into some kind of pitiful semblance of the “Blue Light” with performances of dubious quality artists, “bayans” from Father Frost and the Snow Maiden and congratulatory and reporting speeches “on paper” from officials.
The competitions already mentioned should be in moderation - you must agree, when the whole evening consists only of them, it’s annoying. Your own talents, too, should not constantly replace one another on stage: otherwise, you will get the impression that you were transported in a time machine to a kindergarten for a matinee, and now Natalya Gavrilovna will ask: “What did our Snowflakes prepare for Grandfather Frost today?”... Brr !
In fact, everything should be in moderation and entertainment should be different. Moreover, it is worth considering that even though such an evening is always planned for many hours in a row, people should not get tired - they should be given breaks to absorb all sorts of goodies at the festive table, and for toasts, and for dancing, and for communication.

That is why just a group trip to an quest room, even the most interesting, long-lasting and complex one, despite the overwhelming popularity of this entertainment lately, will turn out to be a failure, since people will not have that same New Year’s mood at all, for which everything, in fact, is and it starts.
This is best left for regular team building and other events. Although, no one says that the quest component cannot be woven into the script - it can successfully become one of the competitions.
For example, after the aforementioned competitive selection of teams, the same pirates can be sent into a separate room specially equipped for this purpose and given a “treasure map” - let them have fun! Or a group of people who want to can be captured by an evil wizard in his dungeon, and they will have to get out of there... And the like - there can be a lot of options for a successful symbiosis here.
Specifically for competitions, it all depends on the age composition of the team and other features - in some places people will be delighted with the usual wedding banality, often with erotic or travesty overtones, but for others, give them a modern, almost interactive struggle for leadership.
In any case, all competitions should be different - it’s good to alternate intellectual ones with “sports” ones and vice versa. For example, after playing crocodile or charades, you can organize a competition for dancing couples, then let people catch their breath by holding a comic lottery with symbolic prizes, etc.
In general, it’s better to find out all the preferences from the team itself - maybe someone has dreamed all their life of performing in the KVN-cabbage party for the New Year or in a singing talent competition? If you combine all this correctly and take into account the tastes of absolutely everyone, the holiday will be one hundred percent successful!
New Year's themed party 2019
A themed party, as an option for celebrating a corporate event, will allow the organizer to fully express his imagination. This method may even become a tradition for your team to hold similar parties of different styles every year. For such a corporate event, you can pay attention to the following interesting topics:
- Soviet Union or back to the past;
- filming a film in which employees will transform into Hollywood stars;
- royal ball;
- imitation of an entertaining television project;
- reincarnation into any of the nationalities, for example, Gypsies, Papuans, Eskimos.
Well, for a team that loves adventure, you can’t find better entertainment than a fun quest. Collectively solving a mysterious mystery or participating in a detective story will bring the team even closer together.
New Year 2021: corporate sports party
New Year celebrations in the sports direction are incredibly popular. The team goes out into the fresh air with barbecue, champagne and other traditional accessories for a great holiday, and colleagues compete with each other in a variety of winter sports, for example, biathlon, paintball, yukigassen, a speed competition to build snow kites or snowmen. This style of corporate event will clearly appeal to all employees, and will not only captivate and amuse them, but will also give everyone the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in sports.
Make way for talent!
A New Year's corporate party is always an outlet, a chance to try yourself in a new role and get to know your colleagues from a completely unexpected side. After all, there’s really no need to pretend: people work quite selflessly all year long, follow the dress code and a bunch of other boring routine rules, write reports and meet deadlines, live from Monday to Friday...
Agree, this holiday can become a breath of fresh air for them, which will allow them not to fly off the handle and work through the next calendar period with the proper charge of vivacity. And if you think about it, behind every position there is an interesting personality.
[ads_middle_center2]
With your talents, experience and ideas. So why not take advantage of this? What if accountant Lenochka has a talent for writing epigrams since childhood? And the manager from the logistics department Vasya too? Let them get ready and compete with each other on the corporate stage, and the whole team will guess who it was all written for and roar with laughter!
Thus, before the holiday, you can announce the start of a host of competitions - from traditional wall newspapers to cartoons and aphorisms. Employees, if desired, can stage humorous skits and dance or musical numbers themselves, compose and read out humorous targeted horoscopes... How many people - so many ideas! And this, of course, is great.
In general, all this can and should be approached creatively, certainly with a sense of humor - well, you must admit, everyone is already tired of sitting at their workplaces with serious faces and pretending to be mega-focused professionals!
Nobody argues, everyone is like that, but there should be a place for a smile within the walls of your own enterprise, at least at the New Year’s corporate party in 2021! Let the prizes in competitions and lotteries not be tired pens, calendars and notebooks with branded symbols, but something cool.
For example, “the right to an extraordinary dance with the boss” (especially funny when men win...), “a one-time coupon for being an hour late for work,” “the right to joke about the chief accountant once without consequences,” etc....
And in general, no matter what theme and location, style and scenario of the New Year’s corporate party you choose, be it a river or sea cruise, barbecue in a country restaurant or hotel, a party in a specially rented room or a warm Sabantuy within the walls of your own business center, The main thing is that everything is unusual, fun and sincere.
And, what’s even more important, is that everyone prepares for this holiday together, because this wonderfully unites the team, establishes informal connections within it and perfectly improves the atmosphere. In a word, go for it! Be creative, organize and have fun to the fullest - and may the next New Year 2021 be happy for both your company and you personally!
