New Year Kick Off Party

We hold a New Year Kick Off Party every year. This takes place on a Friday in January - usually the third Friday works out well. We need to start planning around November.

Process

Determine a location. It's best if the location is central and has parking. You'll likely want to contact a few places for their availability, fees, food and beverage options, etc.
- 2023 - Punch Bowl Social at The Domain
- 2024 - Bouldin Acres (North Location)
Once the location is decided, communicate with the location's event coordinator to determine food and beverage options, sign paperwork, pay any required deposit, and provide final headcount.
- In the past, we've spent about $8,000 on the event.
Create an invitation using Paperless Post. Examples from previous years below.
- Be sure to include the host (Bramlett Residential), date, and location.
- Add event details such as "Let's welcome (YEAR)! We have an area reserved at (LOCATION NAME). Join us for food, drinks, (INSERT ANY GAMES), and good company! Plus ones are welcome. Dressy casual attire. RSVP by (DATE)."

Send Paperless Post invite out. We invite the agents and some of our preferred vendors. Confirm preferred vendors with Eric.
- Send initial invite about one month prior.
- Send reminders out (determine a schedule that makes sense according to when the final headcount is needed.)
- Send final headcount to event coordinator.
