While there are plenty of differences between weddings, birthday parties, graduation parties and business conferences, there are a few things that all great gatherings have in common. Here are just three ways to make sure that your event passes the test!
1. Keep the Lines of Communication Open
As the host of your celebration, you should be able to quickly and easily communicate with all of your staff. This might mean getting everyone’s number to text them; it might involve headset or walkie talkie rental. Just make sure that you can always reach the people that you need to reach.
2. Diversify Your Menu
This is especially important if you’re throwing a large bash with a lot of people. You might be able to get by with a fixed menu among friends that you know well, but if you’re serving a big, diverse group of people, you’ll need a big and diverse menu. Accommodate the vegans and vegetarians; offer plenty of fat-free, sugar-free and gluten-free foods for the allergic.
3. Consider the Practicalities
Where will people go to the bathroom? If it’s a sunny day, will where they find shade? If there are a lot of cords trailing from DJ equipment, how can you avoid slips and trips? Where will everyone park? Little details like this can really make or break your event, so sit down and plan it all out. Keep all of your guests comfortable at your gathering.
These are just a few things to keep in mind if you’re trying to throw an unforgettable bash.
