When do you organise a New Year's reception?

Question

Accepted Answer

A New Year's reception is usually organised in the first two weeks of January. The holidays are over by then, but the new year still feels fresh. Most companies choose a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in week two or three of January. Wait too long and you lose the atmosphere of the new year. Plan too early and it clashes with the aftermath of the holidays. Send the invitations at least four weeks in advance, so guests can reserve the date before their diaries fill up.
