Select a date and time for the corporate bowling party. Consider other community events that might interfere with participation. Factor in the time of day that most of the employees leave work, and give them enough time to change clothes and arrive at the location.

Select a menu for the event. Check with the bowling alleys to determine the food options that they offer. If they have food facilities on site, they will likely prohibit outside food. Offer a variety of foods that fit the budget.

Tips & Warnings
It's nearly impossible to find a date that works for everyone, especially if you have a large staff. Choose a date that works well for the majority of people without interfering with other events.
Consider establishing a committee of employees to help with some of the planning aspects of the event.
