10 Basic Steps to Successfully Planning an Event

We've all been an event planner at one point in our lives-- from planning a birthday party to organizing a company outing. Indeed, planning an event can be tiring and stressful, yet can also be as rewarding as any other profession, especially if you are able to lay out your plans very well. The secret of a successful activity or event does not lie on how big the budget is or where the venue is. Everything is all about proper and careful planning.

So, if you are tasked to spearhead an upcoming social or corporate event, you need to familiarize yourself first with the basic steps to successfully planning it. Read on and find out more about them:

STEP 1: Know the type of event/activity you're planning.
It can be a wedding, a birthday party, a corporate event, etc. Remember, different events call for different approaches and preparations. What can be done at a birthday party may not be possible in a corporate event; wedding materials are not the same as with outings and meetings. Don't go into the deep waters without knowing what you're facing.

STEP 2: Have specific goals and objectives for the event.
Nothing beats setting clear and specific goals right at the onset of an event planning. Try to identify what you want to achieve at the end of a particular activity. When you have a solid idea as to what you're supposed to accomplish, you'll save huge amounts of time planning because ideas will come easy.

STEP 3: Decide on the time and date of the activity.
Some people tend to take for granted the time and date of the activity. But picking the best time and date to hold you activity is also as necessary as choosing the venue. Most venues are already fully booked in advance, so you need to decide on the time and date as soon as possible. Otherwise, you would have no choice but to settle someplace else or worst, postpone the event.

STEP 4: Determine the venue and the facilities to be used.
You would also need to choose the most suitable venue for your event. This includes looking into the available facilities, location as well as the space that it offers. Make sure that the venue's space is enough to accommodate all the guests and that there's nought room to hold your activities.

STEP 5: Contact suppliers and partners to help you with the event.
Don't try to take it all by yourself. Ask other people and organizations to assist you in properly executing the event. Just make sure that you determine their responsibilities beforehand and see to it that you check on them once in a while.

STEP 6: Create a budget.
Create realistic and necessary budget for your event.Make a list of your possible expenses and identify your sources of money. Be practical and try your best to work within the budget range. You wouldn't want to throw a party just to end up with a burned pocket.

STEP 7: Make a schedule of tasks that needs to be accomplished.
Create an event timeline to help you determine the aspects that's already accomplished as well as the things that still needs to be done. Make a schedule of the tasks and assign people who will be responsible for each of them. Be ready to discuss this with everyone involved in the event planning.

STEP 8: Finalize all the necessary materials for the event.
Make sure to finalize the following things that you would need for the event:

• PROGRAM: Know the flow of activities and who will perform them. Decide whether a program print out is necessary.

• HOST/PRESENTER: Decide whether you would need hosts or presenters during the event. If you do, identify who exactly you would want to contact. Also, know the type of communication you want him to do.

• EQUIPMENT: Make a note of all the materials that you would need. Assign someone to be responsible in picking up and collecting the equipment for the event.

• AWARDS: If you are going to give out awards and prizes, decide on what you need to buy or make.

• PROMOTIONS / INVITATIONS: Identify the type of approach you want to use to promote or publicize an event (e.g. giving out invites, flyers, press releases, emails, etc.). Decide who will be responsible for the information dissemination.

STEP 9: Take note of additional items needed.
Depending on the type of event, there are some additional items that you would need to consider. These include:

• food/ catering services
• flowers/ floral arrangement
• music/ singers/ musicians
• decorations
• photo and video coverage

STEP 10: Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the event!
You worked hard to make it happen. Erase the stress on your face and just enjoy the event!
