Or perhaps you are the go to person that your friends turn to whenever there\u2019s a need to organize a party. In this post we\u2019 re going to talk about a few party planning tips that you can easily implement to make you look like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Party_Planning_Tips\"><\/span>6 Party Planning Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Make sure you allocate enough time for planning.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you happen to be a procrastinator then perhaps being a party organizer is not for you. But if you understand the importance of taking the time, upfront, to plan then you just might find that things unfold hassle free. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, there\u2019ll always be something that will occur that you may not have planned for. That\u2019s just the way Murphy\u2019s Law works. And Murphy\u2019s Law is prevalent in the party planning business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Create and use a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201028051642\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/party-checklist-page\/\">party checklist<\/a>.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you don\u2019t you\u2019re toast. I don\u2019t care how good you think your memory is, you are not going to cover every necessary step in your head. You need to write things on paper and you need to assign due dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are a few resources that can help with establishing a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201028051642\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/party-checklist-page\/\">party checklist<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201028051642\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/event-checklist-determining-event-objectives-part-one\/\" target=\"_blank\">Event Checklist, Determining Your Event Objectives (Part One)<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201028051642\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/event-checklist-determining-event-objectives-part-two\/\" target=\"_blank\">Event Checklist: Determining Your Event Objectives (Part Two)<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201028051642\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/party-planning-checklist-party-planner%E2%80%99s-map-to-a-fun-worry-free-bash\/\" target=\"_blank\">Party Planning Checklist \u2013 Party Planner\u2019s Map To A Fun, Worry-Free Bash<\/a><\/li><li><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Establish a budget.&nbsp;<\/strong>Once you\u2019ve established your party checklist, it\u2019s now time to assign cost to areas where you need to purchase items. Now often people approach me and say what about the unforeseen or unexpected circumstances. Well, you can budget for these unforeseen items by allocating a small amount of your budget towards miscellaneous purchases. And when you total your budget, including miscellaneous purchases, you must be happy with the amount allocated. Then stick to your budget!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are a couple of resources that deal with budgets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201028051642\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/event-planning-template-for-establishing-a-venue-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Event Planning Template for Establishing a Venue Budget<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201028051642\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/event-and-party-planning-tip-attractions-and-budgets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Event and Party Planning Tip-Attractions and Budgets<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>4) Create a theme.<\/strong>&nbsp;Creating a theme may sound a lot easier than it really is. This is where you\u2019ll determine whether or not you have the necessary skill set to become a professional party planner. What\u2019s important when establishing a theme for your party is to think of the attendees rather than what you, yourself, would like. That\u2019s where the hard part comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Keep F &amp; B simple.<\/strong>&nbsp;By simple I\u2019m not suggesting that you forgo quality at all. Rather think of the scene, or setting, of your party and then design the food menu around that. If people are going to be standing then do not serve food that requires a knife and fork. And food is an important part of a party if you\u2019re serving alcohol. You will want to make sure that there\u2019s an ample amount of food available so that people are not simply drinking without eating. Your guests will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) Have a backup plan.&nbsp;<\/strong>I cannot say that enough: have a backup plan. Especially if you\u2019re planning an outdoor event. But you have to think past simply moving your guests from outdoors to indoors as logistics may not support that. You need a true backup plan and you need to set a time frame of how long, what\u2019s needed etc., &nbsp;you will require to implement that backup plan. Your backup plan should stay consistent with your theme. What you\u2019re basically doing by having a backup plan is answering the question \u201cwhat if?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Planning_parties_and_events_can_be_a_very_rewarding_career_From_the_outside_it_may_look_like_a_glamorous_career_If_youre_thinking_that_I_suggest_that_you_ask_a_few_professional_party_planners_what_they_think_of_that_comment_These_party_planning_tips_will_help_you_organize_and_execute_a_successful_party_or_event_and_have_you_looking_like_a_pro\"><\/span>Planning parties and events can be a very rewarding career.
