Episode notes
Events Start Late by Design
- Social events rarely start on time; they typically pick up momentum about 60-90 minutes after the official start time.
- Buffering time like a cocktail hour keeps early attendees engaged and prevents the event from feeling stale.
Center Events on the Guest
- Many events focus too much on trendy, visually impressive decor instead of centering the event on the guest of honor.
- Designing events around the subject creates more meaningful and memorable experiences than just following trends seen on Instagram.
Personalize Home Gatherings
- Personalize home gatherings by highlighting what makes each guest special, such as personalized place cards with memories.
- Curate menus around shared experiences to create intimate and memorable moments at dinner parties.
