I’m planning to go into event planning as my career. I’m looking for colleges, and I’m doing a college matchmaker. Would Personal & culinary services be an okay option? It says that “Personal and culinary services include a wide range of majors. Students can choose from programs in food preparation, cosmetology, and funeral preparation.”

help?

Zorric Sia asked:


want to throw a birthday party or an anniversary celebration? Perhaps you’d like to organize a fund raiser but don’t know how to go about it? You may have ideas brimming over you and now spilling through your ears. Grab a piece of paper and pencil and get your thoughts organized. There are quite a number of questions you will need to answer and once you’ve jotted those questions down, you’ll start to realize that perhaps you might need a little extra boost in throwing your party or getting your event together.

Some of these questions will range from how many guests are coming, to the type of paper to use for the invitations you need to send out, to what kind of canapés you ought to serve. Then there are also more detailed items to turn your attention to like whether your event needs a host or master of ceremony, the sound system provider, chairs and tables, etc. Now you’re beginning to realize that maybe there’s more to events than just the main costume theme or event title. There are countless other things that go unseen by the guests but are essential for the event to be successful.

There is a question of getting in contact with suppliers and owners or managers of the chosen venue. If your event requires catering, your planner will also be the one getting in touch with the catering service and staff and making sure that they can get a team together for your little shindig. If you’re trying to convince yourself that you can take on all these responsibilities just to save some money on hiring a professional planner, then you’re in for quite a rollercoaster ride. It’s difficult being both the host and organizer of any event?especially if it is on a corporate scale. Events like galas, charity balls, exhibits, etc are best left to the pros because if you are the host, you will need to keep yourself as stress-free as possible so as to enable you to entertain your guests and still look and be at your best. Taking on the responsibility of an event planner will leave you frazzled and haggard, stealing time away from you that could be spent talking to your more important guests and making essential network connections among your guests. You want to avoid a scenario where the head honcho of a certain corporation you have been trying to get acquainted with comes over to talk but you end up excusing yourself in order to find out why on earth the salmon and lemon dill cucumber tea sandwiches weren’t served on time to your slightly famished guests.

Unless you’re throwing a Super-Bowl-Sunday event at your home, or a Grey’s Anatomy 5- season DVD marathon in your apartment where the only gastronomic menu desired is nothing short of a bag of chips or a bowl of popcorn and some canned drinks, it is good to hire best event planner in putting your event planning services together because you will want your occasion to come out smooth, organized and polished.

I now work in the entertainment industry working as the Facilities Assistant. When it comes to planning parties and company events everyone in the office loves how the events turn out. I always get compliments on the dinner parties my husband and I have and everyone thinks I need to do a career change. I love planning social events and could really see myself planning small wedding, dinner parties, retirement dinner, anniversaries etc. but I have no idea how to start a business. If there are any entrepreneurs out there please lend some advice. Thanks in advance!

I have a graphic design project where I have to create a brochure. Since my cousin has spoken about wanting to open a event planning business, I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone: surprise her with the brochure & fulfill my project.

What’s a good name for the business?
Her name is April Showers so I came up with “Heavenly Showers Elite Events” but it doesn’t really roll of the tongue.
Any ideas?

Corporate events can be held on a large scale or may be a small time affair, it may be formal or informal, and can be exclusive or open to the public. Corporate events are organised to attain a wide range of objectives. The main goal of an event may be entirely social or celebratory and can also have serious implications on the business prospects of the host. Such events generally are hosted to rejuvenate a corporation and to build relationships with the key players in business. They are also a great way to celebrate a company’s accomplishments, promote team building among employees and guarantee an outstanding evening for your guests.

However, without good planning an event may have very little likelihood of success even if the objective of the event is in place. Proper planning is very important for the success of any corporate event such as a corporate party, trade show, a retirement party, a promotion party, an annual office picnic, employee recognition dinner, a sales meeting, the annual year end party or any other hospitality event for your clients. It involves vigilant planning and coordination of the various aspects of the event.

A corporate event can be well planned by employing the services of a professional or an Event Planning Company. Event planning professionals are exceptionally qualified to handle all areas of organising an event in a number of ways that help in producing a successful event within the budget. They have the expertise to handle all the attributes of special events including the right venue for the event, catering and entertainment among others. Event Planners are well equipped to deal with all the tensions, frustrations and problems that come with planning a special event. They are also well trained to tactfully resolve issues with bothersome third parties, late deliveries, legal documentation and other event services which are critical to the success of any event.

Children love so many things about birthday parties. The food, the birthday cake and the ice cream are at the top of their lists. Right below those favorites is party games. When children attend a birthday party they look forward to the party games they will get to play. A big reason for this is that party games usually have a winner and that winner might get a prize. What child doesn’t love a prize?

If you happen to be in charge of event planning for a child’s birthday party you are in the enviable position of having a whole host of games to choose from. One of the first things to consider is the age of your young guests. Obviously if you are in charge of entertaining a crowd of three-year-olds you’ll need to choose an activity that doesn’t require the player to have a long attention span. Standard favorites like pin the tail on the donkey and hot potato are fun for children who haven’t mastered skills such as reading yet. Another fun game that keeps children laughing is to have them sit on air filled balloons while trying to pop them. This generally results in them rolling around on the floor as they bounce off the balloons.

For older children you might consider a treasure hunt. This is a great activity that can keep children busy and occupied while you tend to the other aspects of the event. You just hide some objects in your home and draw out maps for the children to search for them. Another twist on this idea is the scavenger hunt. In this instance you give the children a list of items they have to search for and whoever finds all of the items first, wins a prize. If your child is really enthusiastic about this idea you can make it the center of your event planning process. Perhaps choosing a scavenger hunt theme for the entire party including invitations shaped like a magnifying glass or a hunt to find the pizza you’ve hidden in another room for dinner. Children love activities like this and it’s a great way to encourage their junior detective skills.

For the more mature crowd, you can incorporate fun activities into your event planning as well. Perhaps a game of charades or a fun board or card game will entertain a more adult crowd. These types of games are a great way to socialize and they also act as stress relievers. Many men do this already when they have their weekly poker night with their buddies. They may not view it as an event, but it’s a great way for them to get together and challenge one another’s skill.

Depending on the event you are planning, it can be a plus to play a game or two. It keeps the event moving along and the guests will appreciate having a fun activity to engage in. The smaller ones will appreciate it even more if they win a prize for their efforts.
