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 sooner you start thinking about the event and planning, the more successful it will be. So give yourself plenty of time to plan. Begin a few months in advance and set the date, time and location. Then send out a "save the date" notice or invitations to all who are likely to attend. A save-the-date approach is handy if you plan on sending out formal invitations later but want to get the word out that your party is already in the planning stages.
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.
The first loft can accommodate up to 175 people for a standing event and features a huge main loft area with 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick and maple floors. This loft also features two large kitchens with plenty of space for your catering team. The second loft is slightly smaller, but still can host 100 to 120 guests easily and has features such as 13-foot-ceilings and rolling barn doors that open onto the fully equipped prep kitchen. Both lofts can be accessed by both freight and passenger elevators and, of course, each is equipped with wireless internet for the convenience of you and your guests.
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.
While this all sounds like work, and it is, if you select a fun theme for your party it can be easier and more exciting to plan. The theme can revolve around anything from food to specific parts of the world or a specific season or holiday. The only limit is your imagination.
