It's true, almost any mishap can be prevented if you are prepared. When you are planning an event it is imperative that you prepare, prepare, prepare. A successful event is the result of good planning.
Here are some tips to help you pull off a successful event:
1. Start early.
Once you decide that you want to have an event, ask yourself the following:
- What type of event will I be having?
- Where do I want to have this event?
- How many people do I want to invite to this event?
2. Be organized.
- Make a timeline
- Keep up with what vendors you want to interview/hire and what venues you are considering.
- Keep all correspondence with your vendors and venues so that you can refer back to it if necessary.
3. Stay on top of things/Be up to date
- Keep your correspondence up to date. If prices, services or location changes, be sure to update the master plan.
- Keep a date book listing payment due dates, vendor confirmations etc
4. Relax
- All events should be fun. Remember, you had a vision for your event in the very beginning. Don't let the process get in the way of the destination. Enjoy yourself. And if you can't...then hire a planner!
