...for mypartyplanner.com and we'll see if it gets approved but here it is:
"If you are planning an interactive event for a corporate holiday party - whether a murder mystery, game show, wedding show - you name it, this has been the top ten things to remember, at least in our 17 years of experience:
1. Location - Whether it be your own home, office or an outside venue - make sure the event is permitted and feasible for that location.
2. Location - Again, this is a holiday party and people live all over. Make sure the location is convenient.
3. Location - I guess we sound like a real estate agent by now but again you need to make sure it is handicap accessible.
4. Date - If it is a weekday, remember: the workers have work the next day. If it is on the weekend, remember: the workers may have children and babysitters to consider - which leads to the next concern.
5. Time - If it is during the day, you will be missing a work day and some workers and management may not attend because work is work. If it is at night, see number 4 above.
6. Meal plan - The interactive event will be centered around a meal - so will it be a buffet, sit down dinner, 3 course, 4 course, etc.
7. Alcohol - Will it be served (some companies and groups have restrictions and you certainly don't want a holiday party where people will complain about their co-workers the next day). Will it be a cash bar or open bar and for how long.
8. Table Layout - You want everyone to see the event to participate so watch out for pillars, corners and I guess this goes back to numbers 1 through 3 again: location, location, location.
9. Company concerns - Are there any awards, speeches, etc. that are to be presented? If so, you want it to be incorporated into the event so everything works together and flows smoothly.
10. Hire a professional company - I suggest you find the company directly because I can assure you that if you are working through an agent, event planner, etc., you will pay for that service. Of course, some performers, etc. can only be booked through an agent or booker - it's your decision.
