November Company Party Themes 2024

November Company Party Ideas

Professionals know how busy Q4 can be, and on top of that, there’s the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Before December approaches and ushers in year-end stress, treat your employees to a laidback November company party. They deserve it!

Why Host a Company Party In November?

From creating a period of calm before the storm to making sure everyone gets involved in fall company events, here’s why you should consider hosting a party in November.

It’s Less Stressful

Everyone expects a December holiday party, but fall company events are a time to mingle and relax before the end-of-year rush. You can either replace your annual holiday party or hold two this year. Either way, there are plenty of autumn corporate event ideas to ensure everyone wants to attend instead of showing up out of obligation.

Show Your Appreciation

November is known for being the month when we give thanks, making it a lovely time for fall company events. Show your team how much you appreciate them with autumn eats, cozy gatherings, and seasonal gifts. They’ll even be looking forward to the workweek once Monday rolls around.

It’s More Inclusive

December holiday parties have a tendency to leave out beliefs, faiths, and traditions that are outside of Christmas and Hanukkah. The best part of November corporate party themes is that they don’t revolve around any one holiday and can instead celebrate the season as a whole. Everyone will feel included and celebratory.

 

Company Party Themes for November

Whether you’re after food, fun, or a combination of both (that’s our choice!), you’ll love these autumn corporate event ideas.

Harvest Party 

Decorate with burlap, gourds, mums, and string lights to set the scene, then serve harvest-themed foods, like slow-cooker chili, sweet corn, and pumpkin pie. You can also make it a potluck by asking everyone to bring their favorite fall dish.

If you’re able to, get everyone together outdoors where you can build a fire and roast s’mores once the sun sets. 

Wine & Cheese Night

Not only is a wine and cheese night easy to put together (no baking or cooking!), but it’s also a crowd-pleaser. Opt for light- and medium-bodied reds along with full-bodied whites, then build overflowing cheese boards with accouterments (baguettes, charcuterie, dried fruits, nuts, etc.) to nosh on. Here are more tips for autumn wine and cheese pairings.

Pie and Dessert Bar

If you have a way to bake at the office or you rent out a space for everyone to gather, make pies with all types of fillings, both sweet and savory. Plan for an array that ranges from basic crowd-pleasers to more adventurous concoctions. Let everyone pick and choose which ones to try, and consider holding a contest or handing out ratings cards. (Just make sure the competition stays light and friendly.)

Game Night 

Host a company game night at the office. Decorate with seasonal touches, mix up autumn sangria, and fill a snack table with small bites perfect for grazing. Opt for classic games everyone will know how to play, spooky games, or even outdoor games if the weather’s cooperative.

Comfort Food Potluck 

Few autumn corporate event ideas are easier to pull together than a potluck. And since it’s the coziest time of the year, why not make that a comfort food potluck?

Ask everyone to whip up their favorite comfort food dish, and make sure there are no overlaps by using a digital signup sheet.

Make the event more interactive by asking participants to bring recipe cards. That way, anyone who loves what they try can bring home a recipe card to make it on their own. Chatting about recipes is a great way to spark conversation and encourage team-building, too.

Movie Night 

Throw a movie night with one of these favorite fall films. Provide oversized floor pillows and soft throw blankets, freshly popped popcorn, and warm drinks like apple cider and hot chocolate. Bonus points if you also gift your team with branded insulated drinkware to keep those beverages at the perfect temperature until the credits roll and beyond.

Custom Gifts for November Company Events

What makes fall company events even more enjoyable? Gifts! We have a huge selection of customizable merch for your November party.

The custom Port Authority Window Pane Flannel Sherpa Blanket has soft flannel on one side and thick fleece on the other. Give them out before your company event wraps up with a fireside evening or surprise everyone with their own at the start of movie night.

Also, consider the embroidered Carhartt Dark Brown Sandstone Watch Cap 2.0, which is both functional and stylish. This is a great pick for team members who spend a lot of time outdoors, either at work or in their free time.

 

 

There’s also the branded Patagonia Men's New Navy Micro D Fleece 1/4-Zip, which is formal enough to wear to the office while being so comfortable it’s like wearing a blanket.
