A Taste of Honey's Newsletter
Make your party a team effort When most of us plan a party, we think about how great we’ll look, how great the venue looks, and how much fun everyone is going to have. With a little coordination, your dreams can easily become a reality. A lot of time and money is spent choosing vendors. We take great care interviewing photographers, tasting food, selecting décor. The people we hire are very capable of meeting and exceeding our expectations. Why is it then, that by the time the big day arrives, we can’t wait for it to be over? It seems to be the week of the party is the toughest. The caterer is looking for the seating arrangement, the dj is looking for your song selections, and your videographer wants to know who is being introduced and when. The decorator needs to get into the banquet hall early to finish up the centerpieces, but the caterer has another event before yours. The photographer has been contracted to take a certain number of pictures, but nobody wants to leave the party to pose. Are you having fun yet? With a little planning and teamwork most of these problems can be solved. I really can’t make your relatives RSVP on time, but I can suggest that you start with tables of ten. As soon as you do your guest list assign everyone a seat and only adjust the tables that really need adjusting. Make an appointment with your decorator and caterer a few weeks before the party so they can come up with a schedule that works for both of them. Sometimes, the caterer just needs to hire a staff member to come in a little early to throw the tablecloths on so the decorator can get to work. Don’t just presume it’s no big deal; let the caterer and decorator decide for themselves how much time each task needs. You might also want to check with the caterer to see if any decorations are off-limits before you contract for them. Many places have trouble with smoke machines, and I don’t know any linen company that looks forward to getting back tablecloths with glitter all over them. Always make sure you have scheduled enough time to take all the pictures you want. It can be very frustrating for the photographer when they have to hunt down family members for pictures they know are very important to you. It can also become problematic for the caterer and musicians if the event doesn’t stay on schedule because the photographer has everyone in another room. Each vendor has their own schedule to adhere to; you might want to check that they are not stepping on each others toes. Hiring professionals is probably the best single piece of advice. They understand teamwork, they understand staying on schedule, and they understand how to run a party. You should not have to spend your evening chasing your vendors to be sure they are doing what you asked for. Most importantly, the vendors you select should understand that it’s not what they think you want that’s important, it’s what you think is important. It’s your party, and it’s all about you. Now get out there and have some fun!
