That’s right, you are an event planner, and you didn’t even know it.
Businesses
have
been
hiring
professional
event
planners
to
manage
the
organizational
aspects
of
important
functions
for
a
very
long
time.
However,
as
a
mom
or
dad
or
husband
or
wife,
you
generally
do
not
have
the
luxury
to
do
that
for
anything other than a fair-sized wedding.
Whether
it’s
a
simple
dinner
party
for
a
few
friends
or
family,
or
a
birthday
party
for
your
child,
it
is
up
to
you
to
coordinate all the details that go into making that party a success.
Think about it. Here are just a few of the things that you have to manage:
•
Set deadlines
•
Manage the budget
•
Select the venue (even if you’re just having the party at home!
•
Preparing the guest list
•
Preparing and sending the invitations
•
Setting the menu
•
Selecting and liaising with suppliers
•
Creating the atmosphere or décor
•
Ensuring the smooth progress of the event
And there’s a whole lot more, depending of course, on the size and scope of the event.
If
it’s
a
birthday
party
for
your
child,
then
in
all
likelihood,
you
are
the
event
planner
(whether
you
like
it
or
not)
and
your child is the client!
And
as
in
every
supplier-client
relationship,
you
have
to
listen
to
the
client’s
wishes.
As
a
mom
or
dad,
you
have
to
manage
those
wishes,
guide
and
perhaps
limit
the
choices
and
teach
some
economic
realities,
all
while
delivering
a
memorable and enjoyable experience.
As
a
supplier
to
the
event
industry,
I
sometimes
have
to
do
the
very
same
thing.
Client
expectations
are
sometimes
unrealistic,
timing
and
logistics
are
not
feasible,
venue
restrictions
make
some
types
of
performances
challenging
or
nigh
impossible.
As
the
event
planner
your
job
is
to
juggle
and
manage
these
conflicts
in
such
a
way
that
in
the
end
everything
works
out.
It’s enough to make you tear your hair out and cry, Never again!”
Or
you
can
remain
flexible
and
look
for
suggestions
and
solutions
that
are
available.
I’ll
be
sharing
some
of
these
ideas
in
future articles. For now, understand that you are the event planner and that it’s up to you to manage the process.
