How To Become An Event Planner

by Sarah Tucker | Jan 20, 2018 | Events

One of the questions that I have been asked a lot lately is how exactly did I become an event planner and I realized why people wanted me to tell my story. People started seeing how my business is growing and they also want to become an event planner themselves because they think it is an easy job that requires little effort. Well, if you are one of those people who think that planning out a wedding is easy, then please read this article and I will try to explain how can you become an event planner.

All the things that you will need to be successful and popular event planner will be shared here in this article. I just want to let people know how hard it is actually to do what I do. I would really like to see some of you succeed and becoming an event planner because I think it is a great job. The only question is, do you have what it takes to be one, well we will find out shortly. Here is my personal guide for how to become an event planner.

Get Some Training/Experience

The first thing that I recommend for everyone who wants to become a professional event planner is to start gaining some experience because that is the most important part of this job, having enough experience. Once you get enough experience, you will start to realize are you the right person for that job or not. If you are looking for ways to get experience, the easiest thing would be to do it for free whenever your friends want to host a party or any other event. Most likely they will be happy to give you all the responsibilities of planning out the event because they can just sit back and relax. You, on the other hand, will have to work really hard in order to create the best event in the world.

Marketize Yourself

There is really not that many tips that I can give you to become a successful event planner, you are either good or bad at it. The last tip that I will give you is to start marketizing yourself as soon as possible. This will give you a huge advantage, especially in the beginning. Once you get good and start your own business, people will recommend you to other people and just like that, you will grow.

Must Have Party Supplies

by Sarah Tucker | Jan 15, 2018 | Events

No matter what type of a party you want to host, there are some supplies that you simply must have. otherwise, if you miss out one of these supplies, your party can turn out to be a complete disaster and that is the last thing that you want. I decided to help you out by making a short list of must-have party supplies and I truly think that this will help you make the best party ever. As a professional event planner, I have more than six years of experience and I think I have the knowledge that is required for throwing a party.

These supplies can be used for various occasions, there are not specific for any type of party. Of course, if you are celebrating something with style, then you might want to hire a professional to do it the right way. Here are some of the supplies you have to get for your party.

Glasses/Plastic Cups

Depending on the party that you are having, you can either use regular glasses for drinks or you can get plastic cups. The reason why I recommend plastic cups is because this way you won’t get to worry about your guests breaking the glasses. No matter what type of party you are having, you must have some type of glass or cup because people will want to have a drink. So, the first step of preparation that you must do is get enough glasses/plastic cups for the party. If you are having a lot of people coming to the party and you don’t have enough glasses, then you should get simple plastic cups. The worst thing that you can do is combine glasses with plastic cups.

Drink Dispenser

The next thing on must have supplies on a party is a drink dispenser. The reason why I am bringing this up is that I have seen a lot of parties go bad because they didn’t have these. A drink dispenser is good to have because it allows all of your guests to pour the drinks themselves and they will not break the bottle, even if they are completely drunk. Also, they will not start taking the bottles all over the party. All the drinks will be in the same place during the entire party and that is a huge benefit that you don’t want to miss out.

Advantages Of Having A Small Wedding

by Sarah Tucker | Jan 10, 2018 | Weddings

Usually, women are the one who is dreaming of having a huge wedding with few hundred people and men are just thinking of inviting a small group of close friends and celebrating like that. Well, in most cases this causes some issues to arise, but men usually let this go because they don’t really care. However, in some cases, things are a little more complicated than that and people have no choice but to have a small wedding with just the close friends and family.

Some people are afraid of having a small wedding because they think that it will not be as fun as having a huge one. Well, that is not true because I have been organizing few smaller weddings myself and I can say with confidence that those were one of the best weddings that I ever attended. So, if you are thinking of having a smaller wedding, I really suggest that you go for it. Here are some of the advantages of having a small wedding that might help you decide.

Spending Less Money

The first and most obvious advantage is that you will be spending less money than you would on a huge wedding. This is a clear advantage that is the main reason why people want small weddings in the first place. Why would you want to have few hundred people at your wedding when you are not even that close to them. The money you save from your wedding can be spent on various things, like your home.

Easier Planning

The second advantage is that you will have a much easier time planning it out. That is if you have decided not to hire a wedding planner. If you have a wedding planner, then you will be saving money once again because there will be fewer services to provide. However, I personally think that no matter the size of your wedding, you should always leave the planning to a professional because you don’t want to end up with an awful wedding memory. A wedding planner will make that day the perfect one that you have been dreaming about.

Event Planning Skills You Must Use For Success

by Sarah Tucker | Jan 5, 2018 | Events

If you have been reading some of my previous articles, then you will know that being an event planner is not an easy task and it requires a certain amount of skills to do it the right way. In case, you want to organize the entire event all by yourself without any professional help from someone like me, then you will need to know some of the essential skills for achieving success.

There are some people who don’t have the money to hire a professional like myself, and I completely understand them, that’s why I decided to create this article where I will be talking and teaching you some of the essential skills that you must have if you want to have a successful event. These skills are not particular to any type of event, it can be anything from a birthday to a wedding, as long as you stick to these universal skills, you will achieve success. You just need to make sure that you read this article to the end to not miss any of the tips that I will be giving out because even the smallest mistake can make a huge difference.

Don’t Forget the Details

The first lesson will be a skill that you must learn to love because otherwise, you will be doing it the wrong way. What I am talking about is attention to small details when planning an event. A lot of rookie event planners who are doing everything by themselves usually make the mistake of forgetting about the small details. From my personal experience, I can tell you that the key to planning an event is to pay attention to details. For this skill, you will first need to learn how to be organized, once you learn that you can start picking out some details that you haven’t seen before. The more details you have, the better the event will be.

Creativity

This skill is about being unique and standing out from the other people and I personally think that everyone has this skill somewhere in them. Some people say, that you have to be born as a creative persona and that you cannot learn the skill of creativity, well I think they are completely wrong. If you really want something to achieve, you will. All you have to do I try really hard and the hard work will eventually pay off. Once you unlock your creative side, you will find making events really easy and fun because you will be getting really nice compliments from people.

Multitask

The last skill that you must learn is to multitask. If you are not able to do more than one thing at the time, then you are not prepared to plan an event. Being able to multitask is a skill that I use all the time because as a professional event planner, being able to do more things at once is a really big help. This skill saves me and clients a lot of time.

Importance Of Having A Wedding Planner

by Sarah Tucker | Dec 26, 2017 | Weddings

When it comes to planning out your wedding, there are a lot of things that you need to take care of if you want to be everything just perfect. There are so many things that you need to plan out that you will most likely have no free time for yourself. That is one of the reasons why people are hiring professional wedding planners to organize their wedding day. That is just something that everyone know is best left to professionals. However, there are still some people who think that they are able to do it all by themselves.

Of course, there is nothing bad about that, I just want to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into before it is too late to turn back. A lot of people make the mistake of planning out their own wedding, the reason it is a mistake because it takes a lot of skills and time to do it properly if you don’t have any of that, then you should leave it to professionals. Here are some more reasons why it is very important that you hire a wedding planner.

Save Money

Believe it or not, but hiring a wedding planner will actually help you save a lot of money on your wedding. This is possible because the wedding planner has a lot of experience and know what are the much cheaper options that you have. If you try to plan your wedding alone, you will realize just how much money everything cost you and that is mostly because you don’t know where to get all the stuff you need. Well, a professional wedding planner knows all the little secrets and places where you can buy the accessories that you need for the wedding. When you add up all the things, you realize that you saved up a lot of money. Of course, you will have to pay the wedding planner for the services, but that is nothing compared to the money you can save.

No Responsibilities

The second most important reason why you always need to have a professional wedding planner because he/she will take all the planning responsibilities away from you and give you time and space to focus on more important things in life. When it is time for the wedding, you will see that you don’t have enough time to do all the regular stuff, let alone to organize the entire wedding. That’s why having a professional to do it is the right way. You can use the extra time that you have, to make the guest list and the sitting positions or to find the perfect wedding dress for yourself.

So, I designed this article to talk about some of the pros and cons that you can have a surprise birthday party.

Cons

I feel like we should start with the bad things first. One of the cons of having a surprise party for your friend is that they might show up dressed inappropriately for the event. That is just something that you will have to deal with if you don’t want to take any precaution steps. What I suggest you do to avoid this is to tell your friend that you will be taking him to a nice dinner, so he will dress up nicely. The next con would be that your friend doesn’t arrive at the party because of some unknown reasons. This can be anything from working late to some stranger he ran into his way home and got to talking. Unfortunately, you cannot do much about that.

Pros

How To Decorate Your Wedding

by Sarah Tucker | Dec 11, 2017 | Weddings

One of the most frequently asked questions that I get from people is how to decorate their wedding and I always feel bad because I don’t want to share all of my secrets with them, after all, it is my job to decorate and plan out the entire wedding day. However, I usually give them some starting points that they can use because I know that not everyone can afford to hire a wedding planner, especially if they are looking for a professional. So, if you are one of the people who cannot afford a wedding planner, or you simply don’t want to hire one, I have made this article just for you.

In this article, you will find various starting points that you can use to your advantage when you need to decorate your wedding. Remember, these ideas and advice are only to get you started, I will not share all of my secrets, but if you have some taste you can design and decorate your wedding just like a professional would. For decorating any event, especially a wedding, you need to have experience, because I cannot give you that, I will give you my personal advice.

Flowers

When it comes to decorating an event, the first thing that will always work no matter what are flowers. You just cannot create an event without it having some flowers around, especially if it is a wedding that you are making. Every wedding planner knows that the secret to a nicely decorated event are flowers. Of course, not every flower will be good for an event like this, you have to know your way around flowers, especially because you have to combine them. You never want to use one type of flower for the entire wedding decoration. Combining various colored and types of flowers will give you the edge that you are looking for.

Candles

One of the things that people forget about lately are candles and I don’t see why is that happening. Candles are one of the most beautiful things that you can have in your wedding as a decoration. You can put candles all over the place, there is no such thing as too many candles, so don’t need to worry about that. The only thing that you need to watch out for is to buy odorless candles because the nice smelling ones can be too strong for a wedding.

Essential Techniques For Throwing A House Party

by Sarah Tucker | Dec 6, 2017 | Events

As an event planner, I can say that I rarely get any calls from people who need a house party planner because everyone thinks that they are able to organize and decorate the entire home for the party. However, whenever I visit one of the house parties that were made by rookies, I always find things that are poorly planned, so I decided to make this article about how to throw the best house party using the essential techniques. This is the best way I can help you plan out your house party, all you have to do I carefully follow my instructions and you will be good to go. This is a unique opportunity when I share some of my secrets to planning a successful event, so make sure that you take notes. Here are some of the essential techniques that you must use in order to throw an amazing house party.

Invite-Warn Your Neighbours

If you ever had a house party before, then you already know how this part can be important. If you don’t do anything about your neighbors, then they will be causing you only problems, especially if they are older. The best thing that you can do is invite them to come to your party or in case you don’t want them coming, simply warn them that there might be loud music during that day. This way, even if they don’t like you having a party, most likely they will not make any problems about it and you can continue partying.

Selective Invitations

The key to a great party is not how you decorate your home or what drinks you have, it is who are the guests. That is a major factor and if you are not being selective when inviting people, you will be missing out on something huge. For example, you need to have a friend who never drinks because you can always rely on his clear mind and someone who is working as a bouncer or he is just strong because you might need him when things get heated up. You just never know what might happen at a house party and if you are not completely prepared, your house and the party can be trashed completely. If you feel like you have too many responsibilities, then just ask some of your good friends to help you out with the drinks or the food around the house.

Lock Some Doors

One of the issues that you might have at your house party is that people are not listening to you and they will go into rooms that are not for partying. For example, if you have some valuables hidden in one room that you don’t want to break or get stolen, I suggest that you simply lock them into one room. This way even if people don’t listen to you and try to go into some other rooms of your home, they wouldn’t be able because it is locked.
