It’s officially that time of year… when someone in the office gets volunteered to plan the Christmas party. 🎄 You know exactly who you are.
You didn’t apply for this role. You didn’t train for it. And yet, somehow, every year, your name gets thrown into the hat (or maybe you are the hat) when the company starts talking about the Christmas party.
You’re the one who suddenly has to juggle venue options, menus, budgets, and a dozen opinions on whether we really need a DJ this year. You’re chasing deposits, herding RSVPs, and making sure everyone has a good time — even the ones who insist they don’t like Christmas parties.
By the time the big night rolls around, you’ve negotiated with suppliers, sorted the table plan, double-checked the playlist… and you’re still the one answering the call when the catering company is “running slightly behind.”
And yet — you’ll smile through it. Because that’s who you are.
The one who keeps everything moving. The one who makes it happen.
But here’s the truth: you shouldn’t have to do it all.
Corporate events should be about connection, celebration, and fun, not spreadsheets, logistics, and stress. You should be able to walk into that party, take a breath, and actually enjoy the moment — knowing it’s all been handled.
That’s where Lemon Squeezy comes in.
I work with the planners who didn’t mean to become planners — the executive assistants, HR heroes, marketing multitaskers — the ones who make everything look effortless (even when it’s anything but).
From venue sourcing to supplier management, timelines to table layouts, I take the stress off your plate — so you can focus on enjoying the reason the event exists in the first place: your people.
Because a truly great event isn’t the one where you’re running around behind the scenes — it’s the one where your team gets to see you smile, relax, and maybe even dance a little.
So, if your boss has just said, “Can you just organise the Christmas party again this year?” Consider this your permission slip to say: “Actually… I know someone who can.” 🍋
