Tips of Staying Organized

Tips of Staying Organized

            The key to any successful wedding is all in the planning. Typically it is not unusual to have small things go wrong but always remember to have a plan and stick with it. It is not the best idea to change it during the middle of the planning process.

            The top thing to remember is not get lazy. Some people like the attention of their engagement period that they end up setting things aside until a later time. It is important not to try to cram everything into a too-short period of time. Enjoy your engagement time for a little while but you have to get started when you can. Planning can be a long process, so just be prepared.

            Buy a calendar or a datebook. These will help tremendously in planning and staying on schedule with everything you have to do. If you have a calendar, it will easily be read and remind you of what appointments you have.  Vendors usually are on time and it would be upsetting to them if the bride or groom forgot or was late to their appointment. As much as the vendor is trying to impress you, they still have the opportunity to turn you down. Being on time and organized with all your dates will help you in the wedding process.

            Setting aside time to focus on wedding details is important. Usually pick a certain day of the week or a couple days to move forward in the planning. Also, get your partner involved. It will help eliminate confusion and it is quality time together.  Sharing duties with your partner is the best way to get things done. Both of you should be involved in every step of the way. Divide the list in half and choose what each person wants to do.  This also means that the two of you have to talk. If you are sharing duties make sure to share those details.

            Being flexible is important because every person cannot agree with everything that involves a wedding. Be willing to bend and if you object to something voice your opinions and try to come to a middle point.  Give each other the chance to express their thoughts.

            Details, Contracts, and Negotiations are something to pay close attention to in the planning process. Make sure you clarify all the details and expectations during the first meeting. A contract that says all the dates, time, and locations is something you need to have. Read all the fine print and spell out everything that needs to be known. Negotiations might be an option for certain vendors but not all of them so pay close attention to when to negotiate and when the right time wouldn’t be.

            Organization is obvious. The more organized you are, the less chance there is that something will go wrong. Keep all your wedding information in one place. You even might want to get a notebook for your maid of honor so she has the information as a backup.  During the wedding process there is a lot of information you will receive and staying organized is a great way to help control everything that is going on. 

5 biggest Event Fears

5 Biggest Event Fears

1.      “No one will come.” If you are concerened about no one coming to your event then make sure you promote the event like crazy so you know the word is getting out there. These days’ blogs and social media are key for making your event known. It is important to set up an online event marketing page that people can easily go to so they can find out more information fast. Another thing that could be a great idea would be email marketing campaigns. This can help communicate event details, send out updates, and offer special promotions or discounts. Also, remember to send out plenty of reminders. 

2.      “People aren’t mingling.” During an event, people who don’t know each other will have a hard time talking to others. Name tags, even though they are not the best accessory, are incredibly helpful in getting people to mingle with one another. A fun fact might be a good idea to put on the name tags so people have something to talk about right off the bat. It is a good idea to place the food, beverages and seating in different areas which will help people move about the room.

3.      “People take off early, or won’t leave.” The key for any event is organization. The event needs to be set up and ready for the “early birds” to arrive. If there are scheduled things going on while the event is going then it is a good idea to hand out printed programs so everyone knows the timeline. It is important to create a good end time for the event and as the hour approaches you might need to gently remind people the event is winding down. But don’t be too strict on exactly what time because most people will not linger.

4.      “Uninvited party crashers show up.”  During most events, people who are not invited will show up. It might be old coworkers, maybe your competition, or even an ex. In this situation you want to be the positive person and surprise them by being the first to say hello. Hopefully any grievances with you will be private and not get interfere with your guests. 

5.      “Someone’s knocked back one too many cocktails.” You will always have that one guests who might get a little crazy with the cocktails and a good way to prevent that from happening is to instruct the bartender to limit the amount of drinks give out to any person. If someone has been over served it would be a good idea to get them a cab or a ride home.

You can do your best to plan for everything and something will most likely happen. If something does go wrong it is important to stay calm and make sure everyone that you are working with understands what is happening. If you are positive about your event, it is likely everyone will think positive about it too. 

The "WOW Factor" of the event

Wow Factor

          Planning an event can be fun and overwhelming but making sure your event has the “wow factor” is important. This can be defined many ways and can be viewed differently. The Event Manager Blog says the wow factor is what makes us happy about an event. It drives us to share a story when we go back home and it induces us to buy a ticket for next year and forget about the prices. It might be easier to have a big wow factor at huge corporate events but it also can be done at simple weddings. When you are hosting an event you want your guests to walk into the room and be wowed. There are two things to pay attention to when trying to produce that amazing event.

          The food is something that will make your guests happy and it will help make the event memorable.  Food is important to any event and that is why you go for a tasting weeks before your wedding. Delicious food can be easily memorable and that is why it is important to make sure it is what you want and what you think your guests will enjoy at your event.

          Linens help dress up a room and set the tone of an event. The tablecloths, overlays, table runners, tie-backs and chair covers are a crucial role in helping make a statement and make the lasting impression you are trying to aim for. There are many ways to dress up your event; you can go for elegant and exquisite or contemporary and colorful. If you have a theme to the event this is a great way to tie that in. Linens can make or break your event so it is important to be able to walk into the room and know exactly that you did your best. The linens are most likely the first thing that people will see and it is important for them to be amazed about how everything looks. If you follow these tips on planning your event, it will have that wow factor that you are looking for.
