We’ve all been anticipating the busiest times of the year: holiday and New Year’s season. You may have been thinking about planning your next business event, family party, or even a wedding. Before you think any further, read this fast and simple guide to help you plan it out accordingly, so that your event is not only unforgettable, but also safe and well run!
Creating a Budget
It can be easy to throw in entertainment, extravagant decorations, and private chefs for your next party without even thinking. But a fun and successful event does not require every inch of green sitting in your wallet. Create a budget and stay within that. Make a list or a mood board of everything you want at the event and know the prices of everything to help you stay organized.
Selecting the Appropriate Venue
The venue sets the tone and mood for your event. You want it to be comfortable for your guests and appropriate for the theme. Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you select a venue:
- How many people will attend?
- Is this a formal or casual environment?
- Will there be catering or waitressing staff?
- Will you be booking event entertainment?
- Do you prefer a big space or intimate space?
- Will it be indoors or outdoors?
