The parties referred to are:

  • the Event Planner
A Contract helps eliminate miscommunication, and provides for options, in the event that and agreed upon detail, is not performed.

Make a Budget

When the actual planning of the event gets started, we tend to get all excited and want to add lots of different aspect to the package.

Its very important though to have a Budget to work with, which can be used as a measuring stick, or check guard, to help determine which items we can actually include, or those that we need to cut off

Make Lists

It's so important to write everything down , because as the event gets closer, things get busy and lots of things not written down can slip "through the cracks'. 

It is important not to rely on one's memory for things to be done.

Make a check list.

Importance of Budgeting for an Event

The Importance of Budgeting for an Event
A Budget is very important to any event. Events incur costs, and as soon as you say 'ah want' 
costs begin to rise.  It is important to manage your wants and needs with your pocket.

Many times people plan events based on ideas they have seen on television or magazines 
and try to pursue fulfilling the experience.  They are usually way above what they 
can afford, and thus cause frustration to the decorators and event coordinators.

Plan your events in accordance with your pocket... Count the cost before building the house 



There's a Cost to Cutting Cost

There's a Cost to Cutting Cost 



Normally when events are being planned, there is always an underlying understanding that cost must be controlled, as resources are limited.   Sadly, the area that this is most effected is the Service.  
It is usually thought that friends and family will pick up this area, but in many cases, this is the reason why mishaps occur, and some aspect of the event is compromised. 
Cutting cost on Service Staff can cause the  experience of you and your guests to be belittled.  it has been proven time and time again, that the people who "come and perform" are the people who are paid.

Financial Planning for your Event

Financial Planning for your Event


When planning an event, like Birthday Party,  Anniversary Celebration or a Wedding, it is advisable to start putting funds away/saving towards the event, put funds in an interest bearing account, in order to avoid as much as possible having to take a loan to fund it.   If you are having alcohol at your event you can start purchasing in small amounts as this will drastically reduce your cost as you go along.
It is also advisable, as much as is possible to avoid holding your event around Christmas time, as the price of food is elevated, items are scarce, and dumping is done by businessmen.
