Starting With the Basics of Planning a Party
Party planning requires a lot of work and is very time consuming, but if done the right way, it can be extremely exciting.
The party you are planning can be for a birthday, anniversary, bachelor party, office party or a grad party.
Whatever it is, you will need to follow these basic guidelines in order to have a successful party.
Whenever having a party it is better to pick a theme for the party.
A theme party can be a lot more fun and guests always love themes.
It makes the party a lot more interesting, but planning it may become more challenging.
After deciding on a theme, you need to create a guest list.
I always find this part of the planning the most exciting.
While making a guest list you will need to acquire the necessary information in order to send an invitation to everyone.
When sending out the invitations you will have to ask for RSVP's and make sure you put in a RSVP date so you know the exact head count.
And don't forget to include your contact details in the invitation card.
Once the guest list is made, decide on the date of the party and set a fixed timing for the commencement of the party.
Also pick out a number of party venues and choose one which will suit your requirements the best.
The venue is one very important part of the event, so make sure you spend a good amount of time in choosing the best one.
In case you are planning to have the party outdoors, make sure you have contingency planes incase there is bad weather.
Setting up an outdoor canopy is a great idea and will be incredibly beneficial in case there is wet weather on that day.
The canopy will not go to waste on a hot sunny day since it can be used to provide shade from the sun.
When you have finished deciding on the theme, date, location, timings and making the guest list, you will need to think about the party supplies that are required.
The above items need to be planned way in advance (about a month or two), but getting the party supplies may be done just a week in advance.
Deciding on the music and lighting for the party is also another very important thing.
You may hire a DJ to handle the music or make a collection of songs to be played a few days in advance.
A professional event lighting company is the best choice if you really want to make the party venue a happening place.
Food needs to be there and it needs to be good.
Hiring a caterer is a good option since it will save you a lot of time.
You simply cannot spend time preparing the food courses for the party since there will be a lot of work one day before the party.
After making the list of things you need, it is better that you stick to it.
Making last minute changes can be a recipe for disaster so its better that you don't.
