When you are planning for a corporate event at your office, there will more than likely be office catering involved. The one thing that is most important things to keep in mind is sticking to your budget. First, you need to plan your budget and we can help you out with both of these.
We will admit, this one can be a little tricky to figure out. You will need to know how many people are attending and what type of event it is. The more people you invite, it will cause the more the price rises. Try to figure out something reasonable when you are planning this.
This part of the budget planning might be a little out of your control depending on the event you will be hosting. If it is a dinner-type event, you can’t just serve finger foods and to go to the opposite side you really do not need a three-course breakfast. You will just need to think wisely and not overdo it. You can always ask your caterer for their own advice on what they would serve for the event you will be planning.
Having your event within the office might be an idea, but only if you have enough space for everyone to gather like a large cafeteria. If you do not have this kind of space, you might have to consider renting a banquet hall. This will take away from your budget, but there are advantages. They might be able to assist you with some of the amenities, therefore saving you money in the end.
For any type of office event, a dress code should be applied. This means that people should not show up in t-shirts when everyone else is dressed in slacks and button-downs. You might be wondering what this has to do with the budget. Just as we have mentioned before, you don’t want to make people in suits eating chicken wings. When it is less formal, you can serve lighter food that is more cost-efficient according to your budget. At the same time, people in t-shirts are really not in the mood for a five-course dinner.
Get everything down on paper (or a computer). This is the only way you will be able to track all of the expenses. When everything is accounted beforehand, there will be no surprises in the end. You might want to ask for a second eye on this.
No one should try to go at this alone, even for smaller events. If you go at it alone, you probably will pass something up. This even gives you a chance to get closer to your caterer while planning your event.
