12 Knockout Themes for Your Next Corporate Party

Here are some themes that will nail your next office party and have employees gossip about it for days to come. 

  1. Murder Mystery Party

Who doesn’t love suspense and a mystery to solve? 

Everyone will get a character to play, talking and interacting among themselves to find out clues to get to the big reveal. 

It’s going to be exciting and provide team-building opportunities as guests need to work together to solve the mystery. Dressing up as the part and talking in a way that the character demands can add fun layers. 

Moreover, you don’t have to worry about planning the experience as there are dedicated companies that provide this service. You can just sit back and relax for the most part with this party theme. 

  1. Casino Night

Casino nights are all about glitz, glamour and betting on fake money so everyone feels rich and has fun. Your guests will get to live out their Vegas fantasies at casino night with classic card games and table games. 

Consider playing jazz music in the background and having the waiting staff dressed in fancy 1920s costumes to give it a vintage feel. 

You can find matching vintage decor and maybe serve Cuban cigars to really set the atmosphere. Warm lights and essential oils can enhance the ambience to create a fuller experience. 

  1. Music Festival

Having live music and creating a concert or music festival kind of atmosphere is a great idea too. You can hire different musicians to take the experience to the next level. 

Plus, you can serve snacks and finger foods that your guests can enjoy while enjoying the concert, having an open bar can help your guests let loose and have more fun.

  1. Pyjama Party

This one is quirky and not for every company. 

But if you want to have a super casual party, a pyjama party can be so much fun. You can have a movie screening and serve comfort food for a cosy and comfortable event. 

The decor has to be similar with plenty of places to lounge about and comforters for everyone. Keeping the martinis and cocktails flowing will surely please your guests. 

  1. Hollywood Theme

You can keep the event strictly black-tie to inspire more polished celebrity looks. 

If your guests love dressing up and putting on the glam, this is perfect. You can also limit the looks to specific decades to make the party more vintage and classic. 

There have to be plenty of photo ops at your party, preferably, a red carpet for your guests to show off their outfits. Pictures are one of the most important attractions at any party these days. 

With this theme, your guests will have plenty of flattering pictures to update their social media.

  1. Decade Dance Party

Decade dance parties are a great idea if your employees are all about dressing up and having fun. 

You can pick one decade and choose music, decor, and other cultural aspects from that decade. Or else, you can mix it up and allow guests to dress up like the 1950s-2000s and mix up the decor.

A good idea is to hire UK-based tribute bands dedicated to classic bands who have had hits throughout the decades. Your guests can be taken through the musical experience of a few decades like that. 

  1. Office Superlative Awards Night

Think of all the funny things you can reward your employees for. 

The office prankster, Mr./Ms. Congeniality, Boss’s Pet, etc. are some interesting ideas. 

But depending on the various personalities you have at your office, you can definitely come up with award titles that will have everyone laughing. 

Keep the settings unserious and casual to make it a parody of the more serious corporate awards based on job performance that are probably held at your company each year. 

  1. Escape Room Party

An escape room party can become an immersive experience where team building challenges can improve employee coordination. 

It’s best to have a storyline in your mind when you design the puzzles to incorporate into the challenge. 

Setting timer and giving out prizes to the fastest escaping team can make it an even more fun experience and prompt everyone to engage. 

You can even make the escape room spooky by making the theme and storyline surround a haunting experience or crime.

  1. Comedy Night

Who doesn’t like to have a good laugh? 

By hiring stellar comedic acts create a fun atmosphere for everyone. You can keep an open bar to make sure your employees have their hair down and have fun. 

You should inquire about the sets the comedian you’re considering is thinking of performing for your party. It’s always best to avoid materials that can hit people’s nerves or are too explicit. 

  1. Talent Show

Holding a talent show for your employees to show off their other passions can make for a very fun night. 

It’s a different level of enjoyment and engagement seeing your colleagues perform, even if they’re not as talented as they claim. 

Make sure to enlist diverse acts, including singing, dancing, comedy, acting, miming, mimicry, playing instruments, magic or illusion, etc. 

As long as everyone gets to showcase their talent, you can be sure that your guests will have a blast. 

  1. Food Fiesta

Good food is a powerful thing when it comes to making parties a success. Having an outdoor party with a few food trucks lined up with different cuisines and food items can be a big hit.

Try to have a seating place where everyone can enjoy their meals together and talk about the delicious food you’re serving. 

  1. Work Olympics Party

If you have sporty and competitive employees at your office, this one is a must. Everyone loves playing and winning challenges. 

Office Olympics can be a huge hit and the games can be made up and goofy or serious and classic.

according to the tastes of your guests. If you have a fun crowd at hand, silly games can be way more fun.

 

Conclusion

Choosing a party theme can be a daunting task as you have to make so many preparations to execute these themes. You have to really know your audience and what they’ll enjoy.

But having a decade party is a fun idea that can work in most cases. The 70s are the most fun decade when it comes to music and rock and roll. 

Tribute bands are a great way to bring the music from that decade alive. UK Live Entertainment has stellar ABBA tribute bands for you to choose from. 

No matter which theme you choose, the entertainment has to stand out and engage your guests to the fullest.
