Because the Boss Deserves a Christmas Party Too

You know those company Christmas parties where everyone gets to unwind, laugh too loud, and toast to the end of the year?

Yeah… we know about those, too.

For the self-employed, the business owners, freelancers, and the people who wear all the hats there’s usually no office Christmas party waiting at the end of the year.

That’s why we’re creating a space where every kind of boss, go-getter, and behind the scenes helper can celebrate, connect, and just be for an evening.

Introducing: The Small Business Christmas Party

Thursday, December 4 · 6:30–9:30 PM

Forrest Grove · Denham Springs, LA

Hosted by Angela Hoppe Collaborative and Bon Temps Event Planning & Design, this event is for everyone who keeps things running — whether you own the business, help lead it, or simply support the people behind it.

Because the boss — and their people — deserve a night off, too.

What to Expect

A festive, cocktail-style evening filled with

• Music and authentic conversation

• Signature drinks and small bites from Forrest Grove’s catering team

• Connection based areas that make it easy to meet new people (even if you’re not a “networking” person)

• Door prizes and giveaways from local businesses

• Plenty of moments to laugh, relax, and be yourself

Bring your spouse, your right-hand teammate, your neighbor who cheers you on — anyone who deserves a holiday party to celebrate your biz this year.

This isn’t a networking event. It’s a celebration — for the people who make things happen and almost always for everyone else first.

This Small Business Christmas Party is your chance to slow down, sip something festive, and connect with other local doers who just get it.

No pitches. No pressure. Just genuine conversation, good music, and a few intentional touches designed to make it easy (and fun!) to meet someone new — even if you’re more of a hunker down at a table type than a social butterfly.

So dust off your sparkly shoes (or your favorite blazer), grab your people, and come raise a glass to everything you’ve built this year — big or small.

You’ve earned it.
