Some little things that most people forget…..
- Directional Signs – to your venue and also within your venue, i.e. to the toilets
- A Gift Table – save your carefully wrapped gifts from destruction by allocating a specific table for safe storage instead of dumping them under the buffet table.
- A Message Book – no matter what the occasion; kids birthday, a corporate event or your wedding day, a message book containing notes from your friends will be a lovely momento of your party and may even give you some ideas for your next event!
- What happens if it rains? If your event includes alfresco dining or entertainments for outside, do you have a back up plan? Ensure that you have some suitable alternatives.
- Smokers – many venues operate a non-smoking policy, and with new anti-smoking laws being brought in, you must ensure that you adhere to all venue policies and abide by the law. If the establishment is anti-smoking, consider erecting a waterproof canopy and a patio heater outside, enabling your guests to keep warm, dry and legal!
- Parking – do you have enough? If parking is limited you could ask your guests to share lifts or hire a mini bus. Alternatively, speak sweetly to neighbouring property owners and ask for their advice & assistance in arranging adequate parking for your guests.
- Furniture – if you are having a dance floor, ensure that the furniture is moved away to enable your guests to dance. Also arrange seating for a ‘quiet area’ for those who wish to chat and relax in comfort.
- Accidents & Spillages – they will happen, it is unavoidable. To minimise potential damage, keep some kitchen roll and detergent on hand, just in case!
