Out of the Box

When you’re deciding on entertainment for your event, think out of the box.  Think “interactive”- something that invites everyone to get involved, not just as a participant, but gets the whole group talking and interacting.  The goal is to get your employees, guests and family members sharing an experience and a memory. Remember, laughter is the best medicine to cure a ho-hum event.

Any Questions?

Before you interview professional event planners or vendors, take the time to make a list of as many questions as possible.  A couple of important points often overlooked are: What’s your contingency plan if something should go wrong?  Do you offer event insurance?  How much experience do you have in this type of event?  Ask them to supply references not just on their services, but also on the caterer, florist, entertainment and other vendors they will be coordinating.

Preparation is Everything

Prep those things you can do ahead of time that still hold their quality. Preparing food ahead of time will allow those flavors to come through even more as it marinades, so get some help around the kitchen and get to work!

What Holiday Stress?

With so many things on your to do list for the holidays, it’s pretty easy to get swamped. Get ready ahead of time by scheduling your tasks a month in advance. Be realistic but stick to the dates and you’ll breeze through those last minute details.
