Step 1
Check your budget. Find out if you're picking up tab or if the company is paying. Then find out the prices for various types of entertainment. Surprises are fun, but not when it comes to your finances.
-
Step 2
Make sure your entertainment is tasteful for all the people attending. Consider the gender-appropriateness of your choices. Check with people of different cultures. What might entertain one group might offend another.
-
Step 3
Pick music that suits people of all ages, or at least music that suits the majority of people. Choose a disk jockey. DJs usually have a variety of music and can play compact disks to suit your needs.
-
Step 4
Choose a theme. Picking a theme makes choosing entertainment easier. Have a medieval Christmas party with a banquet feast, jesters and medieval music. Go online to find more information on party themes. See additional resource section below.
-
Step 5
Hire a party planner to help with the entertainment, or hire someone to help with the entertainment aspect only. This allows you to take care of the food and music yourself.
-
Step 6
Give away door prizes during speeches. Provide a couple of large prizes or several small prizes. Give-a-ways make the speeches more entertaining and give your guests something to look forward to while they are listening.
-
Step 7
Hire a live band. Check the preference of the majority of your guests. Select jazz musicians, rock musicians, country musicians and more. You can hire a band with a singer or hire singers on their own.
