Why Should I Consider Theming My Corporate Event?
Theming your corporate event has so many benefits, whether that be at your Christmas party or your next Awards Ceremony, or Gala Dinner.
Top 3 Benefits of Theming your Corporate Event:
- Personalisation
Adding a creative theme to your next event, whether a Winter Wonderland at your work Christmas party or an Ibiza Paradise at your next Award Ceremony, can bring a personalised touch. You can include personalised table plans, name cards and gifts to make your employees feel seen and appreciated. Employees are more likely to save personalised items as a keepsake, keeping the experience front of mind which reminds them of the positives of working in your company. - Retention and Reward
If you are an organisation that cares about people and wants to retain talent, you will find that adding theming to your event can help make your team feel valued. Going the extra mile to add some wow factor to your corporate event demonstrates the effort the organisation has made to reward their employees with a memorable experience. - Engagement
The key objective for any event is attendee engagement. The more your delegates interact with the offerings at the event, the more they consider it interesting, enjoyable and valuable. Integrating theming with immersive touchpoints at your Awards or Christmas Party can help you achieve added engagement. Good ideas for encouraging interaction include:- Themed or branded photo booth
- Photo walls
- Free play games
- Branded props such as ice sculptures, swings, vehicles and even food.
- Socially Shareable
Any event that looks impressive and has personalised elements instantly becomes sharable! Sit back and watch as your team shares photos on their LinkedIn profiles, raising brand awareness and supporting a positive brand image. Why not launch an event hashtag with the team beforehand, this could gently nudge them to get snapping on the night.

With glitter, glam and grand ball gowns it screams success and promises to have your employees feeling like the stars they really are.
