Hosting holiday gatherings, whether personal, corporate, or for a non-profit, is something I have grown to truly enjoy. Over time, I have developed a few reliable strategies to create events that are both meaningful and effortless: 1. Start with a signature drink A creative drink with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options is a simple way to set the tone. Giving it a fun name turns it into an instant conversation starter. 2. Focus on moments, not just décor I always consider how I want my guests to feel. Thoughtful details, such as curated playlists or meaningful centerpieces, can elevate any gathering and create lasting memories. 3. Offer light bites with variety Serving a mix of savory, sweet, and healthy options ensures there is something for everyone. Adding a unique twist, like a dim sum or dessert station, keeps things engaging and fun. 4. Keep it simple Focusing on a few standout details always has a bigger impact than overloading the event with too much. Simplicity creates a warm, welcoming, and stress-free atmosphere. 5. Be present with your guests The most important thing I have learned is that connection matters most. Spending time with your guests makes the event special and leaves a lasting impression. These are the strategies I use to bring people together in a meaningful way.

Does the announcement of your annual holiday party elicit a collective groan from your colleagues? Maybe it’s time for a change! Instead of hosting your party in the same venue year-after-year, why not shake things up a little? Here’s why a fresh approach is a good idea. Team parties are a chance to build relationships, recognize achievements, and show appreciation for your staff. Doing something different sends a message: you’re investing in your team’s well-being and want to provide an experience they’ll actually enjoy. Here are a few suggestions: HOST A DESTINATION HOLIDAY PARTY A destination holiday party could be just the change of scenery needed to create a memorable experience. Whether it’s a cozy mountain lodge or a chic downtown hotel, the possibilities are endless. PLAN A STAY-CATION Staycations are a great way to get the team out of the office without the logistics of long-distance travel. ORGANIZE A THEMED EVENT Add a layer of excitement to the evening, by hosting a Great Gatsby extravaganza, casino night, or a winter wonderland. HOST A CHARITY EVENT Book a venue where your team can host a charity auction or participate in hands-on volunteering activities together. TAKE YOUR TEAM TO A SHOW Whether it’s a holiday concert, a comedy show, or a local theater production, live entertainment can be a refreshing change of pace. Whichever option you choose, start planning today with #GroupSync for a celebration that your team will talk about for years to come!  #groupsync #eventprofs #eventprofessionals #travel #hotelbooking #rfp #eventplanners #holidayparties #partyideas

The past week was a shorter working one for me as not only was it a Bank Holiday, but I added a couple days leave to the weekend which was nice. I attended a venue showcase and had meetings with clients about events I am organising on their behalf. I also agreed another collaboration, which I will share details about in due course. Over the past month, this means I have agreed to three collaborations.   My most viewed post was one about hospitality and events news. Posts about property and construction news, business and investment news, my murder mystery night and leisure news, completed my top five most viewed posts list of the week.   It has been nice to invite some of my clients and biggest supporters to join me for a night at the theatre, and to offer some concert tickets (to those people that replied to a LinkedIn message I sent them) at a special rate.   In the week ahead, I will be sharing latest news including leisure (tomorrow), transport, hospitality and events, and property and construction. I am holding my latest ‘Business Networking Lunch’ for business owners and directors (bookings close at 10am on Monday) and a private (Michelin starred chef) dinner event with invited guests. I will also be at the theatre with some invited guests and attending a venue showcase - So another nice week lies ahead. To see details of events I am organising and to book your place(s), please see my company page on Eventbrite: https://bit.ly/2BW9Bma No annual membership or joining fees to pay, no ‘single seat’ policy, no early starts and no long speeches. Numbers are restricted at each event to ensure a high-quality experience is had by those attending.   Please remember ‘Henrik does events’, I organise events of all kinds on behalf of individuals, companies, organisations, and charities, and organise some events of my own too. If you or someone you know needs any professional help to plan, promote and organise an event, I can help you. I also compère awards ceremonies, charity fundraising events etc. Thank you to everyone that has read, commented, and shared my LinkedIn posts - always appreciated. If you have missed any of my posts, please remember you can view them in my profile activity. #business #events #networking #birmingham #henrikdoesevents
