Planning a party could be tedious
and stressful. But if done in advance in a correct order, nothing could stop
from making it a success. It’s always advisable to start planning early instead
of struggling with the last moment errands to run.
Mentioned below are a few points that could help you plan it right:
1) Work out your logistics – Sometimes success of a party lies all
behind choosing a right venue, date and time. If you have a small crowd, it is
a good idea to consider keeping the place central thinking of everybody’s
convenience. Select a date and time that again you think would suit the working
and non-working crowd.
2) Guest list – This is the next most important thing! Work on your
guest list; decide who you want to invite to invite and who you don’t. This
would again help you in finding a good venue, because the bigger the crowd, a
bigger place you need. Always keep in mind the percentage of no shows that may
happen, this would help you to anticipate the turnaround on the day.
3) Picking a theme – This is where you let
your creativity flow. Crucial to remember that picking a theme is a key to
bringing in some fun at the event, but at the same time it should be suitable
to your crowd and not come across as offensive. A few examples of themes that
do great at events are color coordination, a cartoon/ superhero/ TV show theme,
early 80’s party, beach day, etc
4) Booking food, furniture and entertainment – No party is complete
without food and entertainment. Sometimes good food or music is the main reason
for people to attend the party. So make sure this is planned for. Besides
making the event comfortable for your guests with the right furniture is
equally important. If you event is within the UAE, Catertainment Furniture
Rental would be a great choice. All you have to do is contact them and provide
your event details and the rest will be taken care of.
5) Invitations – Spread the word! Send your Save the Date and
invitations to everyone on your guest list. It is a good idea to ask people to
RSVP so you are gearing up to the right head counts for the day. If you are not
too keen on print invites, email or Facebook does just fine now-a-days.
6) Hosting – Plan and delegate before the event day. Get a few people
from family or friends to get involved and take care of certain duties eg-
someone to take care of the music, someone to look after the food being served,
someone to do the decorations, etc. A well planned and well organized event
will always make a successful event.
