Ok guys, so you gave a lot of good advice when I asked awhile back what would make a job better. I’ve taken that advice and tried to run with it. I think it was a success.
Since that went well, I’m going to ask you to rate my plan for a Christmas party for my staff and you can add some suggestions etc.
Things are going very good. I’m living my dream every day because of my all star employees and we’ve been killing it. The company is growing to the rate the hardest part of running it is sustaining and managing that growth and making sure it’s manageable.
Anyways, I wanted to give some back for Christmas. I try to keep a close knit, team atmosphere which comes from my hockey career. I want my employees to feel proud to work for me. That’s very important. I invest a lot in little stuff like apparel, get together and stuff. I give free tickets to the local hockey games where I play and host weekly (when I can) drinks at my house or the garage.
For the Christmas party, I have planned so far to have a catering service come in and serve everybody and their spouses / partners dinner. I will have an open bar for everybody. I prepared a speech to thank everybody and I have a good band that will set up and play for entertainment. I’m going to do all of this at our shop. I’m also giving out $1000 bills (we’re canadian and they’ve been out of circulation for 20+ years) to either cash in or collect in a card. I thought it would put a cool spin on the gift and they can be exchanged at the bank for face value anyways.
Is there anything you’d suggest? Any advice? I’m nervous about this. I want to knock it out of the park. It means a lot to me to ensure these people feel appreciated and have a fun night. I’ll change any plans if anybody can convince me and I’ll add / take away stuff too. I just really want to get this right. I had our first annual one last year at my house and i think it was a success but I want to take this to the next level. I want my team to feel proud and grateful to I work for me.

Nothing says Christmas like coke and hookers... just saying.

Who wouldn't love that?!
But besides pushing your employees to watch their boss play hockey in their free time your party plans sound solid.
I agree on no hard liquor.
Open bar is a little dangerous, as someone who's a great employee can turn out to be an angry drunk.
If it were me I'd consider losing the hard liquor and have free beer/wine.
But if it's a small group and you trust them then do whatever you want. Be prepared to pay for Uber rides for everyone just in case. Figure out logistics now, like whether they're going to get a ticket parked outside overnight.
Sounds like you have the rest figured out. Drinks, music, prizes, that's all they really need. They love to get recognized in front of their spouses too so as the boss I always try to walk around and tell the spouses "You know you should be very proud of your husband, he worked so hard on abc project." And things like that.
Or you can give out formal awards, like best performer of the year in each category
