HELPFUL HINTS
Do you need some assistance with your party planning? Then please read on.
DATE OF FUNCTION
Choose the date of your function with care. Avoid planning a party on a long weekend, public holiday or when a large sporting event is on as these cause most people to plan other activities.
INVITATIONS
If you have a planned format for your evening and want people to be there by 7pm put 6.30pm on the invitation. Also state on the invitation whether food will be provided, as some people may eat prior to arrival. If it is a Finger Food function you are planning, mention that a light meal will be served. This will ensure your guests don’t expect a three course banquet Roast when they arrive.
RSVP
In our opinion most people do not respond to RSVP. Instead of getting people to respond if they are coming, request that they respond if they are unable to attend.
THE VENUE
Informing neighbours
Car parking
Putting fragile items away
Access to toilets etc
Tables, chairs, marquee requirements – see below for some hire company suggestions
CATERING
Our friendly staff will advise you on how much food you require to keep your costs to a minimum.
CORPORATE FUNCTIONS
When organising a corporate function the following should be considered:
Making sure invitations are sent out with enough notice and contain all necessary information including a locational map.
The time of the function – not always possible for people to attend during office hours. The best time is usually 5.30pm so guests can attend straight from work.
Nametags are always helpful for large functions.
A seating arrangement is important for sit down meals.
Running sheet and background information for guest speakers.
