4 tips for organising a reception
Your employees and partners have seen that office building often enough by now. So opt for an external event location. One that knows how to inspire. Or surprise. This will get your guests out of the daily grind. Now is the time for something different!
The cheese biscuit and a handful of peanuts are delicious, of course, but not innovative. So opt for something surprising. A creative amuse bouche, an exciting cocktail or maybe even a whole walking dinner. That is sure to put a smile on your guests' faces.
Want to get the conversation going? Then add interactive elements. For example, an activity with VR or AR glasses, a photobooth or simply an act such as live music or another performance. Too much of a good thing? Then hand out cards with questions for people to ask each other.
You can do a lot with the right lighting. For example, with the colour green. It is known for its calming and reassuring effects. It makes people feel safe and relaxed. Ideal for networking events, workshops, brainstorming sessions and ... yes: receptions.
