Simple ideas for an exciting office happy hour

If you’re tired of experiencing the same old office parties and experiences, then why not consider a new approach to the workplace happy hour?

The truth of the matter is that no matter the event, many employees do not look forward to spending additional time at the office. And, of course, that makes sense; when you’ve been in a suit and tie for 9 hours, all you want to do is relax and put your feet up.

Luckily, that’s where we come in.

With our simple guide, you can transform your standard office party into an event that all employees not only look forward to but will talk about long into the future.

So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at 6 happy hour theme ideas!

1. Office tea party

Who said happy hour has to revolve around alcohol? Why not enjoy a smattering of fancy cakes, cute scones and little sandwiches with some tea and coffee? Or, if you really can’t contemplate the idea of a happy hour without alcohol, you could always serve beer and wine in little teacups.

2. The American college party

Nothing says ‘carefree drinking’ like the American college party. Grab a selection of red cups, get some lights beers, bring some table tennis balls and make some space for the beer pong tournament. If you want people to get fully invested in the theme, you could also get employees to wear a top from their university or college.

3. The Hawaiian party

A simple theme, but always popular! Get all employees to wear their most outrageous shirt, bring in some hula hoops, tasty snacks and cocktail ingredients, and you’ve got the makings of a fun hour!

4. Indoor camping party

There’s nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than a camping trip, so why not bring that fun indoors? With some hot chocolate, marshmallows, hot dogs, burgers, trail mix, nuts and a few card games, you can recreate your favourite camping memories without having to step foot outdoors!

5. Bottomless brunch

The beauty of bottomless brunch is that there’s no defined time when it works best. Grab some tasty brunch foods – toast, eggs, avocado, bacon and muffins – and bring out the sparkling wine, and you’ve got the makings of a terrific happy hour party.

6. The brass band party

If you’re looking for something completely different, why not centre your entire happy hour party around a brass band? Have some waiters passing around canapés on silver trays, get some fancy – but classy – cocktails on the go, and get your dancing shoes on!
