Company Picnic Ideas - The Ultimate Ideas List

Searching for a few outstanding company picnic ideas for your company's annual celebration?

Imagine standing at your company's gathering, your hands resting on your waist. It's a beautiful summer day, a day that's almost out of a movie or a dream.

While gazing around the picnic grounds, you notice that your employees and their families are having a genuinely good time. People are smiling, laughing and engaging in casual conversation.

This year is a whole lot better than last year, and as your mind tracks back, the difference between the two is astounding: last year people barely stayed. They came to just show up, and then quickly left, all because the activities for that day weren't all that compelling.

Point being, you need some fun company picnic ideas for your annual celebration. If you spend money on activities that aren't fun and that people don't stick around for, you might just as well rolled-up that money and flushed it down the drain!

When you're thinking of company picnic ideas, you've got to think of activities that your employees will really enjoy doing. Not only do you have to think of your employees, you have to think of their children and families as well.

A company picnic can be more than just a small, informal gathering for your employees. With a big vision and a few creative ideas, you can transform this re-occurring meeting into a hallmark of the year. This is a time when your company and employees are more like a giant family gathering to celebrate a year of hard work and common purpose.

I've been a part of planning and booking company picnics for years. I have seen what kind of entertainment has really involved people and their families. I have also talked with plenty of people about what kind of ideas has worked for them and which ideas have failed miserably.

Here's a short-hand list of the most tried-and-true, people-proven ideas:

• Carnival Ride Rentals


• Inflatable Rentals


• Live Music


• Caricature & Tattoo Artists


• High-Tech Games and Rides

These entertainment options can be mixed and matched and weighed one way or another depending on price range and preference. What matters is fitting entertainment that works for your employees and their families and that's within their price range.

Fortunately, all these top-rated company picnic ideas can be customized and rearranged to fit nicely into your budget. I hope this year makes your company picnic the best yet!
