Holiday Party Planning on a Budget
We know that the holidays are fast approaching. We’re all watching our pennies, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t host a holiday party for employees and still keep it all in the budget!
Click here for 20 great Cost Effective Tips to having a Budget Friendly Company Holiday Party.
However limited your party budget, it will serve you well to show your appreciation for your workers’ year-long efforts in some tangible and merry-making manner; to celebrate together in a social rather than business atmosphere. This goes a long way toward making workers feel valued and helps them bond with one another, a good step toward team-building and improving morale.
That’s why we’ve brainstormed on how you can host a party and still save. Whether you hold your holiday party on or off company premises, there are many ways for you and your employees to have a frolicking good time without ”breaking the bank.”
Whatever you do to celebrate the holidays this season, keep these tips in mind for your next party, and you can throw a successful one without much cash.
Tip # 10 - Ordering from the menu saves time and money. For many Caterers, their Chefs carefully plan menus to inspire, stay balanced, and with a specific budget in mind. When starting from scratch, often times, a great idea becomes much larger of a process to execute than planned. This creates additional expense to the Caterer and therefore is passed on to the client.
Here are 2 great menus to choose from:

Welcome SolarWorld!
Last Saturday hundreds of guests gathered for the open house at SolarWorld to learn more about the factory, the company and solar energy.
The new SolarWorld $440 million plant will be home to SolarWorld Industries America headquarters for SolarWorld AG of Germany, one of the largest solar-cell producers in the world. The plant just opened last Friday, October 17, and by 2011 it is expected to produce material each year capable of generating enough electricity to power 80,000 U.S. homes.
This translates in to $400 million directly invested in Oregon’s economy, 1,000 new jobs by 2011, and will allow us to set an example in affordable and efficient energy alternatives.
We celebrated with grilled Hamburgers and Hot Dogs, (and Veggie Burgers!), German Sausage, Sauerkraut, Beans in Red Chile Sauce, Grilled Veggies, Artisan Bread with Whipped Butter, accompanied with all the mixings! Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert, and plenty of fresh Strawberry Lemonade and Iced Tea made it an amazing meal!
