It's imperative to do proper planning and find a suitable 
date and time to ensure the event doesn't conflict with other programs. Pretty sure your employees also have their own Iftar plans.

Decide on Budget

obnoxiously affecting your budget size. Be practical with regards to planning and contemplate the number of guests attending, sort of food and some edutainment decisions you'd like to make. One tip is to learn from previous experience, plan around it and have a loose budget. If you're on a tight budget, you could opt to do a potluck party in your office rather than a fine dining Iftar gathering.
Scout for a Venue
This is the daunting part of all. A perfect venue for all! But again, after budgeting, the number of the guests you intend to invite has an impact on the type of the venue.

Obviously, good venues in terms of location and price get nabbed up quickly. But lucky you, FlySpaces knows the best event spaces and dining options around in Kuala Lumpur.
Bear in mind that this is not just a feast party, but it's also a religious one. Thus, make sure your chosen venue either provides prayer room or is near local mosques.
Decorations
The decoration is the first thing that guests would notice upon arrival. It immediately gives out a joyous and bubbly vibe when the setting is adorned elegantly. This is often overlooked as people think that food is the only star of the party.
Iftar Menu
Food is the highlight of any party. The menu for Iftar should be planned out and laid out remembering the important objective of best entertaining the fasting guests. Have a couple of ideas in mind and short-list which best fits your budget and the taste buds of your guests. Anticipate a rough idea of how you might want your Iftar get-together to resemble. It ought to be prepared to guarantee necessary catering is made and food preparation should be possible in advance if vital. If you have a specific caterer in mind, connect with them at least a couple of weeks before.
As mentioned earlier, if you have a tight budget, you may even need to consider having a potluck. Always plan ahead with your employees on what they are bringing to guarantee that no overlapping and everyone gets to enjoy a variety of food choices.
Have An Offbeat Iftar Party
The BIG moment! You can make it even bigger by hosting an offbeat Iftar party. People often get bored of going to the typical buffet dinner after a few weeks. Be sure to spice up the event like picking a theme, setting up live bbq stations, having instant photo booth or plan a progressively edutainment for everyone. If you need to have an extraordinary Iftar gathering, at that point you'll need to think outside of the box and attempt some new ideas.
