A great party is an event that people talk about for years, and while everyone tasked with planning a large party wants to be a great success, it's not always easy. We've all certainly been to a few events that were closer to disaster than success. Too keep your party near the success end of the scale, it is important to stay organized, work diligently and add a splash of creativity. Here are a few tips that might prove helpful.
The minute you decide to host the party or are assigned the party planning task, it is time to spring into action. After all, the earlier you start to plan, the easier it will be to handle all of the details. If you have several months to organize and prepare, that is ideal. Be sure to send out a notice for everyone to save the date for your event, and then you can provide a formal invitation with more details as the event draws closer.
Sending out a "save the date" forces you to quickly set a date and then book a venue for your special party. Your selection actually can have an enormous impact on the success of the party. Not only will your guests enjoy a cool, hip venue, it actually reduces your workload because a place that is already fabulous requires less of a decorative touch to make it inviting. In Manhattan, large parties often are held in loft-style apartments, so consider contacting a firm such as Home Studios, Inc. and booking a loft. This firm has two unique lofts that have been used as private party venues as well as photo shoots and television product, product launch venues, corporate parties and much more.
Each loft is spacious, the larger loft is about 4,000-square-feet and includes wood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, an exposed brick wall and 14-foot ceilings. There are two kitchens in this loft, as well, so you have plenty of space for caterers. The maximum number of people this loft can accommodate is 175 for a standing event or 125 for a sit-down dinner. The second loft is slightly smaller at 3,000-square-feet and includes maple floors, 13-foot-ceilings and rolling barn doors that open up to the loft's sleek kitchen. This loft can handle 100 to 125 people, depending on the type of event.
Once you select a venue and set the date, write out a master list of all that needs to be accomplished and who will handle each task, as well as when each task needs to be completed. Keep this master list handy and create a folder where you store the list as well as all paperwork relating to the event, such as catering contracts, entertainment service contracts and more. Be sure to ask for help and delegate tasks when you can. If you are working on a corporate event, schedule a quick meeting once a week to check everyone's status and more often as the event approaches.
Planning a party is a time commitment, but it also can be a lot of fun and if you choose a party theme, this truly can make the event easier to plan. There are dozens of themes to consider, from a holiday theme to an international theme or even a movie or book theme party. A theme party can help you plan out decorations, entertainment and even the food and music at the event, so consider throwing around ideas with your party team.
