There are many elements that a planner needs to coordinate. It\u2019s only when the multitude of elements are planned and executed properly that the event goes off without a hitch. The guests see the perfectly executed event unfolding as planned. What they don\u2019t see is all of the behind the scenes planning that was involved. And that\u2019s where an event planning template helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever been in a restaurant where the server takes everyone\u2019s order without writing it on a piece of paper? And quite often the server has missed a special instruction here or there. And I can\u2019t help thinking that this wouldn\u2019t have happened if he or she had written things down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Using_an_Event_Planning_Template\"><\/span>Benefits of Using an Event Planning Template<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being organized is crucial in the event planning world. An event checklist helps a planner multitask and keep on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five ways that an event planning template assists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Delegating, assigning tasks and tracking.&nbsp;<\/strong>Often an event planner needs to delegate tasks to their team. The checklist helps everyone understand what their responsibilities are and when they are expected to be completed.<\/li><li><strong>Establishing budgets.<\/strong>&nbsp;It makes it easier to determine the costs associated with each element of the event once the various components are broken out . It would be virtually impossible to look at an event as a whole to determine what its overall cost would be. The checklist helps break down the multiple item lines that are required for establishing a budget.<\/li><li><strong>Prioritizes the tasks chronologically.<\/strong>&nbsp;Not all of the tasks are able to be completed at the same time. Nor would you want them all to be completed at the same time. An event checklist template determines what needs to get done and by when. It also helps eliminate the stress of meeting deadlines.<\/li><li><strong>Tracking supplier information, requests and proposals.<\/strong>&nbsp;There are a multitude of people and suppliers involved with executing an event. Often times a planner is managing several proposals from various suppliers. And they all need to be approved, coordinated and assigned their respective duties.<\/li><li><strong>Contracts.<\/strong>&nbsp;Missing a contractual deadline can have a dramatic effect on the event. Imagine not signing the venue contract, or making a deposit, and finding out that your date has been released.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Event_Planning_TemplateEvent_Checklist_Resources\"><\/span>Event Planning Template\/Event Checklist Resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201130072054im_\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/images\/2015\/01\/PlanAnEvents-event-planning-checklist-300x153.jpg\" alt=\"a screenshot of PlanAnEvent.org's event planning checklist\" class=\"wp-image-24944\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the function of MasterTheEvent.com is to provide tools and resources.
