6 Ways To Make Sure Your Virtual Halloween Party Goes Off Without A Hitch
Halloween is a time when both adults and children can show off their creativity and have a little fun. Because Halloween isn’t just for kids, many employers are looking for fun ways to incorporate the holiday into the workday as a team building activity or social event. One unique way that employers can celebrate the holiday and help their employees have a little fun along the way is by organizing a virtual Halloween party. Below, we share six tips for throwing the perfect virtual Halloween party for your staff.
Pick The Right Time for the Virtual Halloween Party
As the old adage goes, timing is everything, and the same is true about throwing your virtual Halloween party. You know your employees and their daily schedule better than anyone, so really give some consideration as to when a party would make the most sense. Do you want to start the day off with a fun event, or end the day early so that there’s no more work left to be done when the party starts? Others throw it over the lunch break because they know there will be plenty to eat at the party. You choose what works best for your team.
Send Out Spooky Invites
Get the word out early in the form of spooky invites so that people have plenty of time to plan their costume and any other aspects of the day. Your team will want advance notice so that the party doesn’t become a burden, so have a little fun in the upcoming company newsletter or email blast and make sure the word gets out. Be sure to share some of the fun details about the party in your invite!
Dress Up Or Have A Theme
Encourage your guests to get in the Halloween spirit and dress for the occasion, or better yet, set a theme for the party. Make it a “Monster Mash” or have a Great Gatsby-themed party. Guests are more likely to dress up if there is a theme and they know that others will be dressed in a similar manner. But if you really want to ensure that you get the best costumes out of your group, you’ll want to…
Have A Costume Contest
See who can come up with the scariest, funniest or most creative costume by having a contest. If you’re going to have a costume contest, again, it pays to let people know early, especially if you’re going to be giving away prizes to the winners! This way everyone has plenty of time to put in their best effort.
Order In Snack Boxes Of Halloween Candy
What good is a Halloween party without some sweet treats? Pick up some sweets, encourage guests to bring a dish to pass, or better yet, outsource the entire food plan to our team at Bar None Games. Whether you’re hosting an in-person party where you’ll connect virtually with other branches, or all of your staff is connecting to the party virtually, we can cater the event with some sweet treats. We can arrange for candy or other food options to be delivered to your business or to individual addresses if people are celebrating from afar. Let us take care of the snack aspect of your virtual party because is it really Halloween without candy?
Plan An Activity
Finally, plan an activity that gets people moving, laughing or competing with one another. Bob for apples, pin the tail on the werewolf, or have people compete in a Halloween trivia game! We can run a 60-minute trivia event that tests everyone’s knowledge of all things Halloween. See who knows the most about this spooky holiday and have people work in teams to come up with answers. Trivia is a great addition to any virtual party!
