Tips & Ideas
 

All Inclusive

Planning a family reunion, group or corporate destination event?  Consider the advantages of an all inclusive experience on a cruise ship or all inclusive resort.  Great accommodations, food, and entertainment are built into the price, and often result in considerable savings than if booked and purchased separately.  And most resorts and cruise ships have amazing state of the art conference facilities for your group’s activities.

The Need to Know
 
Provide your caterer with as much detail as you have. Be honest about your budget and tell him or her what you’d like to have…even if you think it’s out of your price range. A creative caterer that’s willing to please enjoys the challenge of creating a similar approach that’s affordable on your budget. If you’ve seen something you like at an event, restaurant or even in a magazine, share the information with him or her. But, remember not to be overly restrictive. A good caterer works best in an atmosphere of trust and flexibility.

Save the Date!

Breeze through the details on your to do list for your next special event with simple deadline planning. After you’ve decided the date, create your to do list with dates of their own. If you will set deadlines for yourself, even if it’s just calling vendors or a deadline to book an appointment, stick to your own schedule and you’ll be amazed how smoothly things will go!

It’s All Fun and Games until…

You probably know the standard drill for safety tips during your backyard parties like fire hazards and food temperature guidelines but don’t forget the less obvious dangers you need to avoid. Did you know that when your guests arrive that the homeowner assumes the risks of property damage and personal accidents on your property? It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt so make sure that you’ve taken all precautions and that your homeowner’s policy protects everyone.
