Why You Should Book Your 2021 Holiday Party NOW

7/14/2021

Christmas in July? It may seem early, but now is the time to book your 2021 corporate or private holiday party with MBD Marketing & Events. As the world has opened up, demand for venues, hotel rooms, plane tickets, and event rentals have skyrocketed. We’re seeing venues booking events for 2022’s holiday season, so the time to reserve your ideal venue is NOW.

Really? Is the demand that great?

YES! We started having to get creative months ago when venues started booking up. We are already 50% booked for weddings in 2022! We have called on venues that aren't venues for events Summer, Fall and Winter, asking to create an event space for clients.

You can rely on us to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Booking a venue is one of the first steps to planning any event, including holiday parties. Here is an example of a corporate holiday party planning timeline:

12 Weeks Out

Choose themes or colors

Choose a date and time – Research shows that lunch hour corporate holiday parties have the highest attendance. But evening parties are a great option, since they are longer and allow for more teambuilding and fun activities. Consider weekday evenings if cost is a concern; venues and entertainers often charge more for Friday and Saturday events.

Book venue and entertainment (DJs and bands book well in advance) – This is in a typical year. We recommend booking now for 2021.

Nail down a guest list

Book catering and bartending

Book photographer for a fun photo booth experience (optional)

8 Weeks Out

Send save-the-dates (optional) – Holidays are a time for travel. Sending save-the-dates will allow your guests to book tickets around your event, or let you know in advance that they can’t make it.

6 Weeks Out

Order any party supplies you’ll be purchasing online and/or that have a lead time – The pandemic supply chain is a doozy (just ask us!) Allow plenty of time to order products online, or for customized items like napkins that sport your business logo.

4 Weeks Out

Research and choose games or activities

Purchase indoor and outdoor decorations you can find locally
Recruit helpers if your event is going to be large (or book with MBD and consider us your holiday elves!)

Create a timeline for the event itself – Reserve windows of time for any structured activities like meals or games, and be sure to allow time for networking.

3 Weeks

If doing a Secret Santa, send out guidelines (price, size/type of gifts) to participants

Send out invitations

1 Week

Purchase last-minute supplies

Confirm contracts with vendors (caterer, rentals, entertainment, etc.)

Create a setup timeline for the day of the event – Venues allocate a certain amount of time for setup, which can vary greatly. Ensure you have access to your party space in time to set up before guests arrive. You may need a large team to set up a complex event within the venue-specified time frame (another great reason to hire us!)

3 Days

Share relevant information such as parking directions with guests

Finalize RSVPs and provide head counts to vendors

1-2 Days

Organize and collect decorations to take to venue

Finalize timeline for day-of setup

When you book with MBD Marketing & Events, we do all the heavy lifting. Our holidays are already filling up with contracts, so book ASAP with our team of creative, experienced event planners for an unforgettable company holiday party.

Top Festive Shops & Small Businesses in NoCo

12/14/2020

We are all about shopping local - every holiday season, but especially this year. We love highlighting our favorite local gems in our social media posts and on our website - small business love is a real thing!

We are excited to promote some of our favorite local establishments that have gone above and beyond when it comes to festive decor and holiday spirit!

This little shop has a ton of beautiful home decor, and they are decked out for the holiday season! They even offer shopping online, along with curated gift boxes at varying prices. You’ll want to make sure to stop by as you are finishing up your holiday shopping! https://www.shopcozycottage.com/

Golden Poppy Apothecary - Fort Collins This North College shop is open for in-person shopping M-Saturday, 11am-6pm and on Sundays 11am-5pm. You can also find awesome stocking stuffers and gifts in their online shop.

Today our modern pharmacies fill that role, but there are still many ailments that can be treated with herbs and herbal products. Check out their sweet shop! https://www.goldenpoppyherbs.com/

Christmas is too sparkly…….said no one ever!

Our team has scoured the corners of Northern Colorado to find all the best and brightest holiday light displays!

Here are our favorite spots:

1. Winter Wonderlights - Loveland Winter Wonderlights™ is part of the Loveland Light Trail. Be sure to visit the Loveland Light Trail page for your self-guided tour, including info for the popular Gnome Scavenger Hunt taking place through Dec. 31!

Virtual Family Holiday Celebrations

12/13/2020

We know there are many families who will not be gathering together over the holidays this year. Even though families won't physically be together, there are still ways to honor special traditions and celebrate with one another, virtually!
Here are some ideas to spruce up your family’s online celebrations this year:

Dress up! Halloween might be a thing of the past, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some good old dressin’ up fun! Why not dress up like Buddy the Elf or another favorite holiday character (The Grinch, anyone?). You could also dress every family member in a series of ugly Christmas sweaters - heck, you could even turn this into a contest between groups!

If crazy dress up is not your style, use this gathering as an excuse to ditch the covid sweatpants and fix yourself up a bit!

Get in the mood early with some creative and festive cocktails. The possibilities are endless when it comes to festive spirits and drinks. Share your recipes among family members and toast each other online - together, apart!
Play some games! There are so many options when it comes to online group games. You can download fan favorites, Jack Box Games, and play a series with your family members near and far!

For families with younger children in the mix, you can adapt “Simon Says” to “Santa Says” and create a new favorite activity!
Create a Christmas BINGO game, Christmas Pictionary, or a Christmas Scavenger Hunt. The possibilities are endless!

Sing Christmas Carols together! There probably won’t be any carolers stopping by houses this year, due to the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy this experience. Try singing a few together online - or have each family perform their favorite Christmas song for the others watching on zoom!
Invite Santa to join! This will surely be a hit with families that have a lot of younger children. Invite your favorite Santa to join in on your Zoom (or twist your Uncle’s arm to dress the part!) Kiddos will be excited to see Santa on the Zoom screen, for sure!

Ways to Say Good-Bye to the Dumpster Fire That Was 2020

12/11/2020

Wow! 2020 - what a year?! There aren’t quite enough words to describe all of the feelings, emotions, and happenings of this past year. We have a few new words and meanings to add to our vocabularies and vernacular - pandemic (not really new, but used more this past year than probably ever before), virtual, socially distanced, hybrid, and Zoom.

As event planners, New Year’s Eve is typically the perfect excuse to throw an awesome party! This year we won’t be throwing any huge gatherings or celebrations. 2020 was quite a ride of ups and downs. But - we’ve survived and made it, and that is something worth celebrating!

We’ve come up with an extensive list of ways to say good-bye to this dumpster-fire of a year, and welcome in 2021 - what we hope will be a year full of healing, health, and goodness!

Burn Sage. All of the sage. This suggestion might be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there are actual cleansing practices and rituals around burning sage. It has to do with centering the self and cleansing the energy that surrounds us. Some people who use this practice note that they sense a change in their environment. They sense less negativity around them, and a boost in positivity. We think that anything that puts someone in a positive mindset is a good thing - especially after this often dark year.

Make a 2020 Pinata. What better way to work out your frustrations with 2020 than to beat the heck out of them with a rubber bat? This could be a fun, family centered activity, too! You can make a pinata in any shape that suits you and your family, but we think a Pandemic Pinata is the perfect way to say goodbye to 2020! You’ll literally be beating Covid-19 with a stick!

Dance it out! Get your body moving and your blood pumping, and dance 2020 away! Get everyone you’re celebrating with to choose a song, and then have one big dance party playlist! You can even do this during a virtual party. Spotify has a feature that allows multiple users to edit a playlist. What a fun way to celebrate together - apart!

Hold a virtual Festivus Party with friends. Ah, Festivus. If ever there was a year to celebrate this holiday, it would be 2020! Hold a virtual Festivus Party where everyone has a chance to air their grievances. We’ve got some great Festivus ideas on our Festivus inspired Pinterest Board.

Create a Vision Board for 2021 and beyond. Vision boards are a great tool in helping you reach your goals. A collage of images, a vision board represents your goals and dreams. It can be a great way to center yourself, focus on good things to come, and prepare for the new year.

Support a local Chinese restaurant. Order take-out and ask for extra fortune cookies. You are bound to get some good news, right!?!

Dedicate the day to random acts of kindness. What better way to drum up good vibes and karma for yourself than to offer goodness and kindness to others? Spend New Year’s Eve or another day of your choice, seeing who can spread the most kindness. A kindness contest if you will. 2021 will surely be better because of it!

Research and book sessions with a life coach or therapist. Mental health is important for everyone. This year, more than ever, paying close attention and nurturing our mental states has been even more important. Making a resolution to focus on mental health is a good way to start 2021 off right. Here’s a list of Life Coach Therapists located in Colorado.

Go Axe Throwing. Yet another great way to get your 2020 frustrations out! There are axe throwing establishments and bars opening up all over Northern Colorado. When it is safe to gather, get out and throw a few axes. You can pretend that the bulls-eye is the coronavirus, your failed hopes and dreams of 2020, or anything that vexes you - it’s a safe alternative, and a fun way to celebrate with friends!

However you choose to say goodbye to 2020 and welcome 2021, we at My Big Day Marketing & Events wish you all the best - health, happiness, and fortune in the New Year!

How To Host an Office Holiday Celebration During COVID-19: 10 Unique Ideas

12/8/2020

Non-Party Holiday Celebration Ideas
Not ready for a virtual party but still want to show your employees you appreciate them this season? Check out these ideas for celebrating with them this year – no party needed.

1. High-end holiday gifts. Many employers are finding that the budget for hosting an in-person holiday party can easily cover very nice gifts for each of their employees. Trend forecasters have seen a surge in employer purchases of items like Apple AirPods and bluetooth speakers. Check out Swag in a Box to send custom employee gift boxes with your company’s branding.

2. Virtual group classes. Another trend in COVID-safe holiday experiences for employees is virtual group classes in subjects like cooking and crafting. Classes give employees a chance to bond outside the office, and a cooking class usually costs less per head than catering for your typical holiday office party.

3. Gift exchange. Organize an employee gift exchange via snail mail. Choose a White Elephant theme, or have employees choose gifts they think others would really like. Make sure to set a budget, and use a gift exchange tracking form to stay organized.

4. Virtual beer or wine tasting. Sites like Wine.com send tasting flights to your doorstep. Employees can do the tasting on their own time and view complimentary tasting walk-throughs on the website, or you can set up a virtual meeting for your employees to taste together.

Colorado’s own Denver Microbrew Tour offers a structured 90-minute team building beer tasting activity starting at $200.

5. Virtual escape room experience. Colorado’s Conundrum Escape Rooms offers virtual events starting at $75 with a focus on teambuilding. Employees will solve a series of mysteries to “escape” and beat the challenge. Schedule easily online https://www.conundrumescaperooms.com.

Virtual Holiday Party Ideas
With so many employers going virtual for their office holiday parties this year during COVID-19, unique celebration ideas abound. Here are some of our favorites.

1. Choose a fun theme. Host a virtual ugly sweater contest, or go with a funny COVID-19 theme like, “2020 2021 is Our Year!”

2. Bring the games. A virtual game party can be as simple as asking employees to download a game app (a popular one is Werewolf [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.faudroids.werewolf&hl=en_US]) to participate, or hiring a company like Outback Team Building [https://try.outbackteambuilding.com/virtual-team-building-remote-teams-snacknation/] to create and host a customized game for your employees.

3. Hire entertainment. Let’s face it – we could all use a few laughs right about now. Bring a professional stand-up comedian to your virtual party using a service like Laughter on Call . Laughter on Call will handle all the Zoom planning and hosting, while you sit back and enjoy the fun with your employees.

4. Let employees order food simultaneously with Hoppier. Like catering for virtual events, Hoppier allows employers to designate a food allowance to each employee to use for food delivery during a virtual party. Even better, employees get to choose what they want to eat, meaning no cold buffet leftovers at the end of the night.

5. Send party decorations. Ahead of your party, mail a gift box to each employee with balloons, streamers, party poppers, crowns...the sky is the limit! Each employee can decorate their own space and get in the festive spirit for your holiday party, even from afar.
