Planning a Company Party or Corporate Event: The Checklist

2. Select a date. Having two dates in mind works best as you go through the initial steps; you may find you need it!

3. Determine theme for your event. This can be a great way to build excitement for your event.

4. Determine Budget. If not done already, be sure to have this down before finding locations, caterers, printers, etc.

6. Interview and hire an Event Planner, if applicable. Get everything in writing!

7. Select your event committees, if needed. Have a team of people to make the workload manageable.

10. Find and hire caterer and entertainment. If these are being used and not provided by location.

11. Select menu. This is determined usually by type of event and time of day.

12. Find printer for your event. Invitations, flyers, promotion items, logos for event.

13. Order hold-the-date cards and invitations. Now’s a great time to use that logo for great brand marketing!

14. Select and purchase decorations. Balloons, murals, table covers, party favors. You can even have your logo put on them.

15. Purchase Door Prizes. If having them, incorporate your logo if at all possible.

16. Get hotel room blocks. A great way to save money if you are using a hotel for your event.
