With the summer months just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to organise a company Summer Party! So how do you go about organising an unforgettable event for your staff and customers? The YourDay editorial team has put together a checklist of all the details you need to think about to ensure that the big day is a success.

1. Define the objectives of your Summer Party

Before you start planning your company Summer party, start by determining its main objectives. Strengthen team cohesion, celebrate the year’s successes or thank your customers. Your expectations will guide the different stages of your organisation!

2. Choose a venue for your Summer Party

A Summer Party means sun (fingers crossed, at least)! To make your guests dream, choose a venue with a large outdoor area that lends itself to activities. A must for this type of event? A swimming pool to create a friendly atmosphere and some memorable moments! To help you in your search, YourDay has compiled a list of the most unusual venues in the PACA region for your corporate events. And if you’d rather go to the South West, check out our selection of suitable venues in the region. If you’re organising your event in Paris, choose a barge or a roof top.

3. Plan original activities

Let’s talk about the activities, because they’re going to set the pace for your company Summer Party! Need some ideas? Petanque competitions (Pétanque days are very trendy), an outdoor painting workshop, a cookery class, a pentagliss or a volleyball tournament… There are plenty of possibilities for outdoor activities. Make sure you choose the one that everyone will enjoy, or select a ‘dynamic’ activity and a more ‘relaxing’ one, so that you can offer your guests two options and satisfy as many people as possible!

4. Think catering

The catering will inevitably be a central aspect of your corporate Summer Party. To keep with the summer theme, why not opt for a food truck? Your guests will be delighted! And don’t forget to provide refreshing soft drinks, especially in the hot weather.

5. Communicate with your guests

It can’t be said often enough: the key to a successful business event is communication. For your Summer Party, remember to give your guests plenty of advance notice, to tell them what the dress code is if there is one, and how to get to the venue. To send all these details to your guests, don’t hesitate to use YourDay, the essential ally for professional events that centralises all the details in a customisable app!
