Throwing a party or organizing an event is never an easy
job. There are so many things to consider. The essential steps to a memorable
party are determined by the planning process and there are a number of things
to consider to ensure the party is a success.
#1 DATE
Select a date and
plan ahead. This might seem self-explanatory,
but choosing a date in advance is the first step in planning a party. If you
have a favourite place where you want to organize your event, it’s also good to
check beforehand to see if the venue is available on your selected day. Have a
back-up date in mind in case your first choice isn't available at your chosen
venue.
#2 BUDGET
The best way to avoid overspending is to set a budget so
you know how much are you willing to spend on your party. Divvy up your funds
accordingly to rental of venue, decorations, entertainment, presents, food and
drinks. Set aside a buffer of 10% of funds for miscellaneous items.
#3 VENUE
Where do you want to have this party? Is it an indoor or
outdoor venue? The weather is never predictable and one should always have an
alternative plan in case of bad weather. Depending on what is your celebration
about, you can check on relevant forums on these. You will be able to get some
ideas on new and interesting venues that you can find in Singapore or
overseas.
#4 THEME
Decide what type of party you would like to host and decorate
your venue accordingly. Compare and purchase the decorations online early so
can cater time for shipping. With a theme in mind, it will be easier to plan
and buy the deco, all the way to design of invitation card.
#5 GUEST LIST
Think about who and how many will be
invited. This may have an impact on the capacity of venue, activities, food,
accessibility for older guests, as well as the location for anyone travelling
from afar.
#6 FOOD
The most important when come to planning for a party is what
type of food do you want to cater to your guest? Plan the food with the
allocated budget and number of pax to order. Buffet catering is very popular when
come to organizing a party. Research on buffet catering recommendation online so you will know which caterer to opt for. For budget
constraints, choose a cheap buffet catering so you will not burn
your pocket for the party. Besides the traditional buffet delivery Singapore, you may like to consider adding a live station or to choose
from high tea buffet catering.
For a smaller party, do not worry about the minimum order as
some caterers like Le Xin Catering extends their services
to provide mini buffet catering starting from 10pax.
Lastly, it’s time to eat, drink and be merry!
