Liven Up Your Next Corporate Event

By Katelynn Mochizuki


If you are stuck with the task of creating the next corporate function, don't despair. Instead think up a fun theme and light it up with some LED novelty products.

The first step is to come up with a theme for the event. If you are planning a company awards ceremony, consider an Academy Awards theme. For a retirement dinner, plan a party around the favorite activity of the retiree, such as a golf or camping theme. For general corporate events, you can plan around the season. You can go super casual with a Super Bowl theme or wild and crazy with a Mardi Gras theme. Summer is the perfect time for a barbecue or luau event.

Create a menu that complements the theme. For example, pick a Cajun or Creole feast for a Mardi Gras. If you are planning a Polynesian theme, cater the event with Hawaiian food and tropical drinks. For an awards ceremony, dress it up like Oscar Night with fancy hors d'oeuvres, martinis and champagne. Don't forget to keep the music within the theme, as well.

Not only should the theme be fun, the decor should be exciting as well. Consider livening up the event with LED light-up glasses, which are available in many colors and in every possible style, from regular cola glasses to martini, margarita, wine and champagne glasses and even pilsners. Even if you are opting for a no-alcohol event, these glasses add some extra zing.

In addition to glasses, there are also LED straws, stirring sticks and cocktail picks, as well as a multitude of bar supplies. For example, you can serve champagne or sparkling cider in LED ice buckets or have waiters carry items on light-up LED trays.

With LED products, your imagination is just about the only limit. There is fun, themed jewelry that lights up, blinks or flashes. Blinking necklaces and bracelets would be fun for a Mardi Gras event. For a luau, purchase light-up flower leis for your party-goers.

In addition to jewelry, there are thousands of blinking, flashing pins to consider. These are available in just about any theme imaginable, from any holiday to sports themes, Western themes, educational themes, animal themes, music themes and much more. You can also pass out novelties, such as customized light-up yo-yos, golf balls, tops, fans, buttons and even helpful items such as LED flashlight key chains or fun apparel, such as a customized light-up hat or t-shirt.

Planning a fun company party is great way to show co-workers or employees that they are valued. A great party can be a great way to boost morale and increase enthusiasm in the workplace.
