The Christmas party planning season is upon us โ potentially leaving you with weeks of incredible stress.
Balancing life, work and all the party organisation; sometimes thereโs just never enough hours in the day. To help make sure that your soirรฉe is remembered by friends and colleagues for all the right reasons, here are our top tips when working with event co-ordinators.
Let them be your guiding star
Event Co-ordinators have the title for a reason. Theyโll likely have been in the industry for many years, and know which steps to take, when the time is right.
Speak to them about your ultimate goals or vision and ask them for a timeline of priorities. Itโll give you the immediate check-list that youโre looking for, leaving you assured that everything will be arranged on time.
Keep an open mind
So, youโve been put in charge of the Christmas party by colleagues or friends, meaning that youโll likely have an idea of how you want the end product to look.
Thatโs a good thing! But be sure to bounce your ideas off your Event Co-ordinator. Maybe they have thoughts on how to give your evening some added sparkle? Or can offer alternative theme and entertainment ideas, which hadn’t otherwise crossed your mind?
Do your research
Finding out what other Christmas parties your co-ordinator has worked on is a great top tip! Maybe thereโs something in their portfolio which has sparked your imagination, or an idea youโd like to implement in your own event?
By utilising their skills youโre more likely to put on an event which supersedes anything your guests have experienced before.
Be savvy with suppliers
Christmas party co-ordinators are the best place to start when looking for suppliers. Even if you have a usual choice, itโs worth comparing prices and considering how much time you could save using their contacts.
Guests love to know that the food, entertainment and decor theyโre enjoying are all from the local area โ this is something your coordinator can assist with.
Enjoy the festivities!
No one wants to be running around, looking after everyone on the night of a party.
Book yourself a venue with an event co-ordinator, and youโll be able to relax with your colleagues and friends all evening โ howโs that for a Christmas treat?
