Help! Holiday Party Entertainment......

H and I are trying to decide on this year's entertainment for their Company Holiday Party.

Prior bookings include some magician who walked around doing tricks while people were mingling, and this guy: http://www.danielgreenwolf.com/ .

 

So now we're out of fun ideas.

It'll be in a private room at a restaurant.  We usually have some mingling time with apps, then a sit down dinner.  After dinner, we do gifts (given by the company to the employees.. some are better than others, but everyone walks away happy- or at least that's the goal) and then just mingle again until people leave.

Any thoughts?

Re: Help! Holiday Party Entertainment......

  • Have @littlelady77 do a fire show!
     

    That's what got me thinking :)  It reminded me of Daniel Greenwolf, who did fire tricks, and that made me realize we'd better come up with something SOON- or I'll be up front with tap shoes on or something. 8-}

    What about a photobooth? Or a flip book guy? This one is near me, so no help, but just so you know what I'm talking about :)http://www.theflipbookmann.com/TheFlipBookMann/New/html/index_sub4.html
    Not sure about price on those types of things, but they're both fun! Or what about a caricature artist?

    T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.

  • The photobooth and caricature artists are fun if people will just be mingling and able to pop in whenever they have time.

    What about a murder mystery dinner?  It takes a while, but can be done throughout the meal and is a lot of fun.  They have everyone get involved in it, but there are usually 2 people that lead it.

  • @BruinsBabe33, I gave him a call already.  I don't think we can afford him, and his green room demands are outrageous.

     

    Plus, the dancers are extra. 

     

    I know.  Disappointment city. 

     

    The employees aren't really the 'get involved' type, so I am not sure how a murder mystery would go over, but I will definitely have to look into the Flip Book/Photo Booth/Caricature type thing! 

    I should have come here years ago.. you are all full of great ideas!!

  • What about a stand up comedian?  Do you have any local ones? They must be fairly cheap, I would imagine.

  • Who doesn't love balloons! Another fabulous idea.

    I might have to throw myself a birthday party so I can use them all!

    Except strippers. I don't think I mentioned H works for his father's company, so the in-laws will be coming to visit for the party. While they may like it (Hey- you never know) that is one experience I don't feel the need to share with them haha.

They also had someone who read the lines from your lips to tell your future or something (you put on some lipstick and kissed a card and the lady "read it") they also had a photo booth, but someone brought a ton of props, wigs, costumes and such to put on
