Planning a Successful Event
- VISUALIZE IT! *Tip: The more senses you engage, the more memorable the experience will be.
- SEE: Decorations, colors, venue, lights, and signage.
- HEAR: Music, sounds, laughter, and conversations.
- TOUCH: Gifts, venue, and decorations.
- SMELL: Food, candles, flowers, and the venue.
- TASTE: Food and drinks.
- THEME: A theme will help generate specifics: decorations, invitations, games, venue, and colors!
- VENUE: Matching the theme with the venue will contribute to the experience. Unique venue ideas: Museums, Resorts, Lodge, Dude Ranch, Parks, and Local Attractions.
- PLAN: Date: *Tip: most vendors/venues have discounted rates for off-peak days/dates (weekdays, non-holiday, and Sunday). Budget: *Tip: Food & beverages are usually the most expensive followed by venue, and all other expenses.
- TIMELINE: Creating a timeline will help you keep track of the days events. Also create monthly timeline to keep track of priorities.
THEME IDEAS:
- Vegas
- Mardi Gras
- Cruise
- Era (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s)
- Hollywood
- Luau/Beach
When it come to budgeting your event, “do it your self” will save you money on decorations, food, and beverage service. *Tip: Entertainment, photography, and videography should be done by professionals, if you need to cut back on expenses choose other items in your budget.
