If you’re transitioning back to the office, you may be on the search for office party ideas to bring everyone together for a lighthearted gathering. Although the Fourth of July is on a weekend this year, celebrating the Friday or Monday before or after the holiday will brighten your employees’ spirits. When you’re ready to start planning a festive Fourth, be sure to browse our EON office catalog for the supplies you may need. In need of some inspiration? Here are a few of our favorite ideas for a July Fourth party to remember:
Host an Ice Cream Social
July is the hottest month of the year in many parts of the country, so ice cream is the perfect refreshment to offer. A DIY ice cream bar is a fun option to consider, and you can make it even more festive by using a red, white, and blue tablecloth and toppings. For an extra patriotic touch, try your craft skills by making balloon ice for chilling the ice cream or drinks.
Set Up a Photo Booth
Whether you rent a photo booth or go a DIY route, this addition is sure to be a hit at your Fourth of July office party. If you’re in charge of setting up the booth, you can keep it simple while still providing a great photo op. Setting up a flag-themed background near good lighting is a classic choice, and you can also provide props such as sparklers, USA hats or shades, and mini flags (and don’t forget the selfie stick).
Organize a Potluck
The Fourth of July is a great opportunity to mingle with coworkers and try a variety of comfort foods. A potluck may be a fun way to help the team get to know one another better or enjoy a reunion after months of isolation. For best results, be sure to gauge interest a few weeks in advance and start circulating menu ideas via email to ensure that there’s plenty of variety.
Play Trivia
Looking for patriotic activities to pass the time at a Fourth of July office party? USA-themed trivia may be the perfect fit. An office-wide game of trivia is an excellent way to practice team building and engage in a little friendly competition. As prizes, you can offer nifty office supplies, gift cards, or treat the winning team to lunch.
This Fourth of July will offer a much-needed chance to enjoy socialization and a sense of normalcy as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes.
