How to animate a business dinner

A dinner or company meal is a special event that is organized, sometimes, once a year at the most, and which is a great opportunity for colleagues to establish a better relationship with each other and with their superiors. That is why it is important that it be entertaining, because if it is not, it can provoke the opposite of what is intended. Therefore, in this article we give you some tips on how to animate a company dinner .

Steps to follow:

one

Invisible friend It is a dynamic that almost always works well in groups of friends, and also for events such as company dinners. A draw is made a few days or weeks before and at the time of the event, better if it is after the meal, the gifts are delivered. This also forces colleagues who do not know each other very well to investigate their tastes or hobbies.

two

Bingo with raffle of gifts . It is similar to the previous one, but with the component of chance. All the gifts are bought previously without knowing for whom, and in a moment of the party there is a lottery with a bingo or roulette. There will be more than one gift that has nothing to do with the tastes of its recipient, and that's when the laughter comes up.

Karaoke It can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on who picks up the microphone, but in general a karaoke - especially at the end of the party - is usually something that always encourages participants at a company dinner. Especially if it is the boss or the most serious partner who decides to sing.

4

Gastronomic contest A kind of gastronomic contest can be organized between workers or departments, depending on the size of the company. This is how the dinner problem is solved, people are made to participate and I am sure that more than one person discovers an unknown culinary talent in his office partner.

5

Avoid speeches It is not bad that the boss dedicates a few words taking advantage of the fact that all the workers meet, but it must be clear that this is not a meeting in the workplace. Rather it can be used to give a few words of improvised encouragement.

6

Magic show A classic that never fails. Hiring a magician to do tricks, tell a joke and distribute gifts, has become a widespread practice in some business dinners, as they offer something different and involve employees. And if in the company there is an employee who in his free time also devotes himself to doing magic tricks, here can have its particular moment of glory.

7

Musical performance What better to animate a party than to have live music? The groups of versions of popular songs of the 80 and 90 are very fashionable, for example, and always has more incentive than to put canned music.

Gifts for each diner . One way to start a good dinner is that upon arrival each guest is at your table a small gift, which can even be personalized. It does not have to be something very elaborate, since it is going to be something unexpected and what matters is the detail. Better something nice and with some positive message, for example cups, cards or agendas.
