Six Halloween Ideas For Your Workplace That Won't Make Your Team Squirm
As the office manager in charge of all workplace events, team wellbeing and catering, you want your team to be celebrating the fun stuff but without it feeling forced or silly.
It’s time to get SPPPPOOOKKKKYYY…......reads the Slack message on general. Oh god, you drip. Please just stop, you think.
How can you cater Halloween without climbing cringe mountain and throwing your team off the top? Your office needs you to remain calm; Halloween can be cool, it just hasn’t been.
As the office manager in charge of all workplace events, team wellbeing and catering, you want your team to be celebrating the fun stuff but without it feeling forced or silly.
1. Don’t ask people to dress up.
As workplace caterers, we know that the best events often ask the least from a team who are already pulled in a million directions. As caterers, when we put on special events, we do the legwork so your team can actually enjoy themselves.
2. Lean in on the snacks.
Themes are fun when they are easy to participate in, and snacking is following the path of least resistance.
Snacks should, of course, follow a Halloween theme: tomato ketchup scary crisps, jelly worms, and, of course, the Karma Cans ‘trick or treat’ red velvet cupcakes.
3. A special Halloween lunch
Celebrating a special day is always better when all the energy is focused on one moment. For Karma Cans, this usually takes the form of a special team lunch with a themed menu.
4. Outsource the decorations
Do not buy them on the company card. Think about where you will store them for the rest of the year, the waste, and all the weird plastic items you’ll have to explain on an expense report.
Let Karma Cans do the decorating. We offer a full decoration and tablescaping service, including fresh spooky flowers and twigs, tailored table settings and autumnal tablecloths. This can be assembled just in time for your event and removed at the end of the day.
5. Carve a pumpkin
The single most wholesome, fun activity on Halloween. Karma Cans can run a pumpkin carving session at your office; we bring everything you need, and we clean up the mess when you’re finished. We can even provide the drinks.
