Event Planning Made Easy by BBQ Catering
|
|
| Focus your event 1. Few successful events are multi purpose. For example, don't mix a new product launch w/ a customer appreciation at Christmas. 2. Restrict your guest list on the basis of relevance. 3. Invite fewer guests to be treated as V.I.Ps rather than more guests to be treated casually. 4. Pick an event theme & stick to it. Relate decor to menu and location. Entertainment and decoration in proportion & good taste. 5. Restrict information handouts to the most important issues. Even at a seminar, the less information received, the more it is remembered. |
|
| Schedule Your Event 1. Decide first when you want the event to end. 2. Work backwards from end time to fit in all proposed activities. 3. Can you fit in everything? What can you cut? 4. Is your schedule so long it's boring or so crowded with activity that no one will remember important parts? 5. Make allowances for travel time from one part of the event to another, for breaks between events, & other schedule eaters. 6. Will your event overlap meal times ? Caterer required? 7. Allow more time for young children to pass through exhibits but have shorter attention spans. 8. Will your event conflict w/ another special event, e.g. - a national holiday, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, Academy Awards? 9. If the event is outdoors, will time of year or time of day require lighting, wind protection, heaters, shade, cold beverage? 10. Discipline guest speakers - even visiting V.I.Ps |
