A costume party not only during the carnival
Carnival is a time of balls and parties. So it's no wonder that that's when we come up with the idea of organizing a costume party. It is a time of grand celebration of the carnival in Rio de Janeiro or in Venice. So why not organize a costume party in your company as well?
Whether a costume party will be met with enthusiasm depends to a large extent on the atmosphere in the office. If employees have a distance to each other and are a well-coordinated team, they will more willingly accept the message about the required outfit.
Did you know that relationships between employees affect their effectiveness?
Our events have already cemented many company teams –

Organizing a costume party creates a dilemma for your co-workers how to dress for a corporate event. To make this matter even easier for them, you can announce that it will be a themed costume party. The theme of the eventthe one we choose can be any. Will it be the Wild West, where some departments will dress up as cowboys and others as Indians? Maybe the theme will be Disney fairy tales or broadly understood princesses and princes? You can also conduct a survey and ask employees what characters they would like to play.
It is worth remembering that Mrparty at all it doesn't have to be at the carnival. This perfect theme for all kinds of events thematicych. Incompany igil, greeting spring, or even a meeting at the shooting range will always be a good excuse. Impdress-up loop can also be combined with integration trip the whole team.
How to organize a costume party?
In addition to informing employees that you should come to the party in disguise, you need to remember about several important aspects of each such ball. One of them is the choice of place. If the hall where the event is to take place is quite far from the city where the company is located, it is worth organizing accommodation for your co-workers. Whether everyone travels by one bus or coach, or maybe by car alone, should also be determined at the beginning. Another thing to consider is catering. Cuisine cooked with passion, according to the rules of slow food will appeal to even the most demanding gourmets.
What else is needed for everyone to have fun? Appropriate music. We can choose from a professional music band, DJ or just a computer and good speakers. It all depends on the budget and the size of the event. If the event is to be combined with a gala, it is worth organizing a compere. He will lead the official part and any competitions during the event itself. If theoretically such a person is not needed, then one of the organizers will have to take over his role and guide the co-workers through the next stages of the event.
Attractions during a costume party
The mere fact that those present at the event have to dress up is often an attraction. It is not every day that our employees have the opportunity to play the role of, for example, a superhero. However, during the costume party, it is also worth taking a few cutscenes and finding time for fun. Can we organize competitions with prizes?
A mandatory competition that should be held at every costume party is the competition for the best costume. It can be an individual competition, but we can also announce that the entire department or the entire office will be judged. A week before departure, we can, for example, organize a theme draw. However, we always leave the creativity of the employees how the outfits will look like in the end.
During the costume party you can organize communication games, arcade games or even mini tournaments. Puns always make everyone laugh to tears. So you can imagine how much fun this game will bring when we try to pass the password in disguises.
Photo booths are other attractions that can be used during an integration party. Who wouldn't like to have a nice souvenir from such an event in the form of a series of photos? When will he next have a chance to meet with such a group and in disguise?
You can also organize a bartending show, or organize company dance with the stars. It all depends only on our imagination and the funds that the company wants to allocate for the organization of the event.
Costume party - an opportunity to be yourself
Costume parties are becoming more and more popular, especially in larger workplaces. However, this idea seems to be a very attractive addition to any after-hours meeting. In addition to the promise of fun, it also encourages you to take off the "mask" of a serious office worker and show yourself to everyone from the other, private side. Even if the organizers have some fears at the beginning of offering costume parties to employees, they usually turn out to be unfounded.
Yes, it takes courage and a good idea to dress up for a company party. However, if the team is well-coordinated, no one will break out and an alien with a red hood will dance together on the dance floor. If all employees are dressed, no one will feel uncomfortable. What's more, meeting your boss or office colleague dressed as a caveman can help break the ice and finally get to know each other better.
