It’s All About the Details<\/b><\/p>\n

You plan a successful event, party or wedding much as you would a productive business meeting – with a slightly tight agenda and careful attention to detail. The <\/span>steps to event planning<\/span><\/a> simply include tasty items like menus and more enjoyable settings than board (bored) rooms. Get started by completing these basic planning steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set the event goals and objectives. Having fun counts. So does getting through Christmas dinner without squabbles between family members.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Define and understand your target audience. The party that works for preschoolers fails for pre-teens. With adults, it comes down to mutual interests.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Set the date and time of your party. Take into consideration holidays, vacation schedules and time of day.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Plan and calculate your budget. Include every need from venue rental and food to tent rentals and music. You’ll also need to base it upon how many people may attend, so determine how many guests you’ll invite.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Choose and book your venue. If this happens to be your backyard, you’re in luck. It’s cheap and available. If not, you may need to visit a number of locations before deciding. Think about ambiance, setting, accessibility, parking, transportation to and from, price, and its availability on your desired date.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Book the entertainment, music or speaker. This, as well as, venue and catering require the most advance time. The best performers, chefs and locations get booked up quickly and quite far in advance.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Plan the event menu, including beverages. If you serve alcohol, it may require a liquor license. You should also provide a safe mode of transportation home for guests, if you serve alcohol.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Make the guest list. You should already have a ballpark number of invitees, but now you list each with their contact information.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Purchase invitations and send them out. This makes it sound so simple, but for those planning a wedding, this ranks as a huge decision and major purchase. Take your time and actually touch and handle invitation samples.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Draft help. If it’s a wedding, this means groomsmen, bridesmaids, flower girl, ring bearer, attendance book assistant, gift table assistant, reception hostess, and determining who’ll plan the stag party and bridal shower. If it’s a birthday or other party, this means hostess, co-hostess, food service, etc. You’ll need a lifeguard for pool parties, especially with children present.<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Bask in the afterglow and consider your feedback. If you held a business event, this means analyzing the feedback obtained from the short survey you distributed just before the event ended. These let you know what went right and what needs improvement.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The best parties and events leave nothing to guess. Pre-plan everything, down to the smallest detail and leave nothing to chance. The easiest way to do this? Use a party rental service.
