1st Birthday Parties

                                                                   1st Birthday Parties


1st Birthday parties celebrate a landmark event in the families life. These parties are more designed for the family. An hour is about the most a baby can handle without becoming cranky.
Here are some questions I would ask as the event planner
1.What is the budget for event
2.How large will the party be
3 Guest list include both adults and children/ How many of each?
4  Do you want the party to continue  after your child goes down for a nap
5. Do you want to serve a meal? Or just cake and ice cream and beverages? If you serve a meal is it pot luck, buffet, or sit down?
6. Will this be a theme party?If yes what theme in mind?

Remember children under 3 are very mobile so there should be 1 adult for every child under 3.
Make sure to baby proof your house

Invitations: Are generally grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. Invitations shouldbe sent out3-6 weeks in advance. Select a style that is complimentary your theme.

Decorations: Unbreakable foil balloons are a safe alternative to rubber balloons. Paper table decorations, streamers, bubbles. Remember little ones like to put everything in there mouth .

Activities: Play sing along music, puppets special blow out the candle. One year olds attention span is about5 minutes

Birthday cake :  Should go along with the theme ofthe party

Food and beverage: Simple sandwiches cut into animal shapes, fruit and veggie platters.
Juice

Party Favors: Animal crackers are always good, or stuffed toys for age appropriate

The best 1st Birthday party is to keep things relatively simple.

Scavenger Hunt Parties

                                                             Scavenger Hunt Parties



Have you ever thought about having a scavenger hunt party? This would be a totally different kind of party.
1. Decide on age group
2. How many people
3. Are you going to have teams

You can do a simple scavenger hint within someones house or at a venue. For a more complex hunt it could be in a town.

You would need to know the geography of the location
Planning process would be to write down clues and placing them in appropriate locations
The morning of set clues in place and have maps and directions for the players
Let players know ahead of time what they will need for the hunt
If this a long scavenger hunt have volunteers along the way to provide water and food.
Make sure everyone has a cell phone with them just in case of an emergency
Make sure that at least 2 people stay together at all times
Have prizes for the first team to find all the clues
If it requires cars make sure that the driver is just concentrating on the road while everyone else is looking for clues
Remember to stay safe and have fun

Costume Parties

Sorry for not blogging yesterday. We went to the State Fair. Today we will talk about Costume parties
There are many different types of costume parties Here is a list of some of them:
Retro costume party
Retro parties can be back from Victorian time  or to the 80's.
Victorian time period 1800's

Roaring 20's
50's, 60's, 70's-present, Wild West or SteamPunk party, Victorian Tea Social, Luau Party, Mardi Gras, Masquerade Party, Hollywood Party.

To create the right atmosphere for any  costume party you will want to find a venue that is suitable for that era. The food, decorations. invitations must also match your era. A lot of thought and work goes into the planning and you need the right assistance from professionals.

Here are a couple of examples of era specific parties. The costumes were created by Eva Juzwiak of Saunders Costumes, Contact info: 719-635-1773 or www.acesnladiesmercantile.com

Holiday Parties

                                              I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend.

Since The Holidays are fast approaching I thought we will talk about Holiday parties.
 How about we talk about Halloween parties.Halloween parties are not just for children they are also for the ( big kids in us ). Indoor parties are becoming popular for children's safety.
Children's parties are usually held at schools, community centers or houses.
Adult parties are usually held at dance clubs, or event centers, hotels.

Children's parties will be less frightening games, candy, costumes.
Adult parties would be more frightening, food,music, costumes and Halloween games.

As an event planner I would ask the following:
1. Is this a childrens party, adult party or family event?
2. Is there a special theme in mind, do you want to have classic Halloween movies,  or haunted house
3. How many people
4. Will guests wear costumes or formal atmosphere?
5. What kind of decorations?
6. Will you serve a meal or snacks?
7. Do you want to plan games or scary surprises ?
8. What is the budget?

Invitations If there is a certain theme  then invitations should be the same ( skeletons )
Refreshments  Halloween themed ( foods to resemble brains, blood, eye balls etc. )
Apple cider, punch, of course candy.
Activities. Watching horror movies,haunted house, dancing and of course costume contest to name a few
Decorations  Really frightening dark colors black, blood red, oozing green, skeletons, rats etc. for adult party. Children's party pumpkins, friendly ghosts. Candy like creepy crawlies, gummy candies etc.
Party favors Bag of candy or emergency kit to fight off vampires, ghosts etc.
With the help of an event planner  let your imagination go. and have a spook-tac-u-lar time
Let Magical Productions help you with your party. Call today to set an apt. 719-570-0761 check out our website www.magicalproductionsllc@gmail.com

The Budget

                                                                The Cost Factors


Today we are going to be talking about cost factors.
1. Number of guests
One of the most important factors for cost is how many guests you plan on having
. The number of guests will determine how big a space you need, how much food you need. The larger the space the more money it will cost, the more guest the more food which will increase the cost.
2. Catering
 If you want a fully catered meal this will be another major cost factor. You might want to check on different types of menus, also some events you might be able to do your own catering which will definitely cut down the costs
3.Alcoholic Beverages
   This could add up real fast if you are doing an open bar. There are a few ways to cut down the cost you might want to set a certain budget anything over that budget guests have to start paying,, or you can give tickets for 2 drinks free, or have a cah bar and let guests pay for there drinks. Also dont forget you dont want anyone geting into an accident or get a ticket leaving your special event, if possible if event is at hotel offer them some rooms or have designated drivers.
4. Event Decorations
Flowers,centerpieces, streamers and banners can be costly. The more you have will also mean more time to set up and take down.  You could hire a decorator but they are costly.  You could decorate yourself which will cut down costs. As an event planner I would shop around for you to find the best deals and sometimes you can create the atmosphere you want with less expensive items.
5. Entertainment
Do you want a band or dj.? Its always nice to have live music but dj's do just as well and have more of a variety of songs. The cost will be a big factor also live bands will cost more then djs. Once again as an event planner I would shop around for you and find the type of music you want at an affordable price.
5. Flowers
Flowers are expensive. Depending on what kind of flowers you awant, the season and how many will determine the cost factor. If you can try to stay with the flowers that are in season, or maybe try silk flowers, they look just as pretty and will last much longer.
6. Cake
 The cost factor again will be on the amount of guests you are having most cake decorators charge by the slice. also what kind of filling and icing and how much detail you want will all determine the price
7 Photography
 I left this
 one for last because it is a touchy subject with me, since my husband is a photographer. I have been to many different event where the clients will spend a fortune for the venue and catering but then have a family friend or relative take the pictures.  The photographer is the most important part of any event. Once the event is done the food is gone, the dancing done, flowers will die the only thing you have left are the pictures of the whole event.  If you want to keep your friend a friend and speak to your relative  ( Please hire a professional photographer )
Once again to help you have the best event possible hire an event planner. Event planners can sometimes get you a better price and also recommend people that they know and trust, also save you the stress for having to do all the research.  I always make sure that all the vendors I use have insurance and I make sure my client and the vendor are compatible. Also I will be there on the day of the event to make sure everything stays on time
We take care of the stress so you can attend to your guests.

The Budget Raising Additional Funds

                                                      Raising Additional Funds


Today's topic is raising additional funds which is mainly  for corporations There is 2 different types of funding internal and external.

Internal Funding
1. Is to sell tickets to the event
2.Raffles, bake sales, silent auctions etc.

External Funding
1. Sometimes another corporation will be a sponsor .
2. Brochures have a page for advertisements
 

As an event planner my job is to come up with creative ways and cost effective ways  to come up with the funds needed to create the event.

Tomorrow we will go over cost factors.

Setting The Budget

                                                                        Setting The Budget

For the next few days we will be talking about setting the budget for your event. Its a subject that not many people like to talk about but needs to be done at the beginning stages of planning your event.

If you are on a fixed budget there are some thing that could be done to still have a most enjoyable event  without having to take out loans or go totally broke.
You might want a very fancy venue but cant afford that so you might want to look at other venues. Sometimes if you can change the season like fall or winter instead of spring or summer you can get better rates or during the weekdays are more affordable then weekends, days are more affordable than nights.
There is also what kind of food do you want to have, how many people you are having, decorations, flowers, entertainment, photography. We will go into more detail in later posts.

                                  Who is paying for the event and what do they expect?

Events fall into 2 categories, private and corporate.. The client and payer may be different people.When there is more then 1 person I have to know who I need to report to. If it is a corporate event I would like to get together with all who  handle the funds and let them agree on who would make the final decision

Tomorrow I will be discussing raising additional funds this will be mostly for corporate events.

1. What kind of event,birthday party, class reunion, wedding?  Weddings and class reunions usually take a good year to get everything  and everyone together. Birthday can be plan on much shorter notice unless if you are having out of town guests.

2.  When will event be held?
      This will also determine the cost. weekends and summer months are more expensive to have events in hotels, days and winter events can be a little bit more affordable.

3. Where will event be held?
     If client has no idea I might offer some suggestions

4 How many people are expected to attend?
    This will also determine the venue and the budget.

5. Is this a catered event?
    I would ask if anyone has any food allergies, if religious event what special requirements.

6.Who is attending what do they have in common?
   Is it a childs birthday party  or senior citizens, that will help determine the venue and the type of food and entertainment.

7. Will there be guest speakers?
     If there is presenters who is in charge of scheduling them.

8. Is this a private event or will tickets be sold?
    If public event I would make sure the word gets out with the media

9. Is this an overnight event?
     I would need to find out about hotel reservations and how many rooms are needed., also transportation issues

10 What is the event budget?
      That will determine the venue food costs and possibly how many people will be able to attend.

Remember this is just general questions for all types of events.
Tomorrow I will go over starting the 6 month before time frame
