Hey Friends,
Today we’re talking about 5 Tips for an Organized Party.
Monday’s tip of the week was all about my favorite party planning tool- Pinterest! If you haven’t already listened, here’s a link to the episode. https://simplyborganized.com/2024/05/13/tip-of-the-week-organize-your-party-planning-with-this-simple-tool/
Whether you’re having a backyard bbq, or a full on bash-the strategy surrounding planning an event remains the same. In this episode I unpack 5 areas that are key to streamlining the party planning process:
BUDGET- Determining your overall budget is essential to making sure that you don’t overextend yourself financially. Once you have your overall budget, you can then allocate funds to the different areas: food, decorations, etc.
THEME-Clarifying what type of party you’re having “casual, sit down, adults-only, family friendly” are all important pieces of the party puzzle. Once you nail this down, it removes a lot of the overwhelm and decision fatigue.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES-Establish who is only your team and what their job is. Are you outsourcing food or is someone in charge of the grill? Who is doing the centerpieces? Do we need to order party favors? These are just a few questions that you’ll want to ask.
TIMELINE-Every organized event, large or small, has a timeline that you’re working from. When do things need to be ordered? When do invitations need to go out? How long do we need to set up? You may not have all the answers off the bat, but it’s important to ask the questions early on so you are prepared.
COMMUNICATE-One of the most important aspects to an organized event is clear communication with everyone involved. From vendors, to your team, and of course your guests!
Happy Organizing!
