If you're brainstorming office party ideas for summer, you know we've always got you, right? We'll also help you plan your office party from scratch so you don't overwhelm yourself. Come on, bestie; let's show you how it's done!
Summer is here again, and its refreshing warmness makes it the best season for parties. If you have a remote team, throwing a virtual or hybrid summer office party is such a great idea.
So, you know that summer's a great time for a corporate party at your organization. Q3 is slower (well, it's not Q4 fast). But why else throw one in the first place? We'll tell you:
These summer party ideas for work are so much fun, you wouldn't want to stop:
The terrarium workshop is where creativity, fun, and beauty come to party.
Green thumbs or not, your team members will learn to create their own mini plant environment while bonding and having fun.
They'll learn exciting plant fun facts as a botanical expert guides them on terrarium and decoration-making. Virtual terrarium workshops are also great for helping your team burn some steam in summer.
How to get started 👉 Ready to make fun memories? Follow the Confetti map to the Terrarium Workshop and start planning!
We know it's summer, but you can ditch the boring weather conversations for a genuine ice breaker courtesy of Water Cooler.
Participants will be divided into small groups or paired one-on-one to answer unique icebreaker questions in breakout rooms. Then, everyone converges in the main room for new questions and teammates for the next rounds.
After five games or more, the teams meet again to share their most fun or weird fact about someone else.
How to get started 👉 Let's talk about fun stuff as we hop on the ride to schedule a game at Water Cooler, shall we?
There's something about sweet and fluffy hand pies that go so well with hot seasons, don't you think?
Our pie expert will provide your team with basic kits for hand pie baking. Participants will learn to make a pie dough using premixed batter and water, mix, roll, and cut the dough, bake the pie, and everything in-between.
This activity will help employees bond as they relay sweet summer memories over a crisp hand pie.
How to get started 👉 Head on to Hand Pie Baking Class on Confetti for a baking experience as easy as pie.
Now's your team's chance to become super detectives in their own murder mystery thriller.

In the end, everyone will come together to reveal the suspect….or else…(jk). 😜

Did you think we've run out of office party ideas for summer? Certainly not! We've got five more corporate summer party ideas to bring your team together and boost employee engagement this season:
An office awards night is one of the most effective ways to increase workers' retention and engagement.
Rewarding employees for their excellent service to the organization is always a good idea — it spurs them to do better. They can invite their friends and loved ones to witness the moment.
Organize a virtual or hybrid summer show to showcase team members' hidden talents. It reveals more about participants and helps employees to know themselves better.
While planning a summer talent show can be an overwhelming activity, the fun is sure worth the effort. Plus, you can enjoy the event without lifting a finger when you let our expert team at Confetti do the heavy lifting.
Like an outdoor cinema, a virtual movie night is an excellent way to make your employees enjoy a fun activity together. Complete with their favorite snacks, this team bonding event is a sure way to boost staff morale.
Have fun creating a summer party playlist for an office karaoke. Participants don't have to be excellent singers; the idea is to have fun hearing everyone's voice.
If you're having challenges creating a playlist that everyone can vibe to, then give people playlist prompts to see what your team is feelin'!
Thumbs up to whoever invented the scavenger hunt! Your workplace can organize one by grouping participants into small teams and using items already in the office.
Each team will get a list of things to find and written clues to help track them. Everyone in your diverse group can play this game.
You and your team will love these party themes for your summer office get-togethers:
Transport your virtual team to another era with decades-themed office parties and open their minds to the wonders of their imagination.
Our favorite decade themes are the 80s and 90s, with music, pop, decor, and fashion remakes that everyone can relate to. Retro-decade-themed events are always so much fun.
A summer camp-themed party with lots of games, food, drinks, and decorations is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy unlimited fun. Our creative team at Confetti can help you pull this off.
Almost everyone loves a garden event in summer, and a virtual garden-themed party could be the fantastic break everyone needs.
People can dress in their favorite floral clothes and decorate their yards with beautiful summer plants and flowers. Participants can also have a happy hour with garden-friendly drinks and meals. It'll be so much fun!
Nothing screams summer and celebrates natural beauty like a fun tropical-themed event.
Participants will look lovely in bright-colored outfits, enamel jewelry, and floral prints. Team members can prepare their favorite tropical party foods before the event kickstarts.
The perfect summer theme party is any theme everyone will enjoy. So, be sure to ask the team for the best ideas.
From happy hour to murder mysteries and many more work party ideas, summer just got more fun at the virtual office with Confetti's team building activities.
