Perhaps you show appreciation for your employees constantly: pizza and donuts in the breakroom once a month, a holiday party at the end of the year, or casual Fridays in the office. These are all fine gestures to maintain a pleasant office environment, but how about an employee celebration to get the team out of the office for a day? Be inspired by these creative employee appreciation event ideas.
1. Roll out the red carpet for an unforgettable movie screening
Rent a historic theater, auditorium, or performance venue and have a movie screening that feels like a red carpet event! Peerspace offers theater-style event venues in metro areas across the country. Many theaters are owned by locals who provide extra services like popcorn machines, comfy seating, optional catering, and an amazing ambiance.
Your event can be casual and family-friendly, with customary concessions — and extra butter on the popcorn — or an all-out, splashy Oscar party, complete with appropriate attire and upscale hors d’oeuvre.
2. Enjoy a night out bowling
Bowling alleys are being resurrected and updated all over the country! What’s not to love about taking it old school and hitting the lanes? Form teams and partake in friendly competition, or find out who’s the ultimate bowler at your company. Some bowling alleys also feature themed nights, such as the ’80s or outer space.
You can also rent your own private bowling alley through Peerspace! For instance, check out this Columbia City, Seattle, bowling alley. It has space for 20 guests and includes large-screen TVs, tables and chairs, and lounge seating.
There’s also this private bowling alley in St. Paul, MN. It is a full-time bowling alley that you and your team can take over for a few hours. It has space for 50 guests, TVs, party lights, A/V equipment, and tables and chairs.
