ORGANISING the office Christmas party can be a tricky business. Get it r ig h t, and you could earn precious brownie points from the boss and the back-slapping praise of your colleagues. Get it wrong, and the office could sud
denly become a very lonely place. The problem is tha t people’s ideas of what
makes a good p a r ty v a ry considerably. While the office young guns might fancy a night of pounding techno music a t a trendy club, others will prefer a curry with a side helping of speeches and office in-jokes. The prospect of being dragged along to
either event can make the end-of-year party seem more like a punishment than a pat on the back for your hard work. You, as the party guru, must try to find the
common ground and organise something that everyone will enjoy. That is easier said than done.
' But there are a basic set of ground-rules
that should ensure your party is remembered for all the right reasons.
■ Venue Location is king when it comes to choosing
a venue for your bash, according to Mike Ker shaw, managing director of The Ultimate Experience. He advises: “Make sure you can get there
easily - and you can get people away just as easily. Make sure there’s a taxi system. You don’t want 200 frozen partygoers waiting

around on a cold December night.” The pro fessional party-organiser also recommends giving the trusty hotel suite a miss this year and looking for something a bit more unusual. Marquees, museums, and even breweries can be hired for the night to give your party that unique novelty feel.
■ Food Getting the nosh spot on is a must to keep
the hoards happy. A slice of overdone turkey breast and a few sprouts just don’t cut the mustard these days. “Food doesn’t make a great party, but bad
food can ruin one,” says Mike. Party organis ers should ‘taste test’ the quality of a cater er’s cuisine before signing on the dotted line, he says. Otherwise it might not only be the turkey that is stuffed. You also need to check that the venue can
handle serving large numbers of people at the same time - seasonal goodwill can quickly evaporate if people have to wait around for their food. He says it is worth considering giving the
traditional Christmas dinner the heave-ho for an international buffet, where guests can choose from a variety of dishes and avoid being stuck with the office bore for the entire duration of the meal.
■ Booze “Ply them with as many drinks as you
can,” Ross Duttson, marketing director of party organisers
Viewlondon.co.uk, advises. Nothing gets people dancing, chatting and
partying quite like alcohol can, so make sure the bar is well stocked, well staffed and not due to close up at 11 just as the party is get ting into full swing. Do not forget, however, that not everyone
is there to get plastered, so make sure there are plenty of soft drinks available for teeto tallers and drivers. Cocktails can also add a bit of novelty
value to the bar choice - just don’t ask your boss for a Sex on the Beach.
■ Drunken Disasters Mike Kershaw says there is not a lot you
can do to prevent those drunken moments of madness where you insult the boss or snog a married colleague under the mistletoe. But violence can sometimes rear its ugly
head at these booze-soaked occasions, he says, so it may be worth investing in a couple of professional bruisers who can step in if trou ble does break out.
■ Music The spotty office’junior wants to hear Dr
Dre and Eminem, while the balding market ing manager rather likes showing off his moves to cheesy disco classics. How do you keep everyone happy? Ross Duttson says it is just a matter of get
ting a good DJ, who knows how to work a crowd. “You want someone who’ll judge the mood
and play some light disco stuff to begin with to get the older ones up and dancing and then some more up-to-date songs for the young sters. I t ’s a good idea to have some quieter areas where people can just go and chat as
well,” he says. But after a good meal and a belly full of a
booze most people are not overly concerned with what music is being played, he adds.
■ Speeches Long, rambling speeches from the boss will
send most of the audience to sleep, so keep it short and sweet if you are going to share your pearls of wisdom with the office. Mike says it is always nice for workers to be given a pat on the back for their efforts over
the year. But he adds: “Avoid any David Brent-style
stand-up routines. I ’ve seen a few of them and they’re terrible.”
