Planning a party or event?
KEEP CALM & HIRE A PARTY PLANNER
It’s widely assumed that party or event planners are either
too expensive or not necessary (perhaps even a combination of the two). Why not just do it yourself? That’s
what Pinterest is for, right?
Well maybe there are a few things you haven’t considered....
Well maybe there are a few things you haven’t considered....
Here are 5 REASONS hiring a party planner
is a GOOD IDEA.
1. THEY CAN
SAVE YOU MONEY.
Probably the
most common reason why people are turned off to the idea of hiring a party
planner is the cost. While you will have to compensate the planner for their
services, their job is to create a party based on YOUR budget and they’re good at it. Experienced
planners know where and how to cut corners without skimping on quality. They
have personal and business relationships with vendors and can get you discounts
on products and other services. They’ve already done the shopping around. They
know where you can get the best deal and the best price.
2. THEY SAVE
YOU TIME.
There’s
the planning and designing, there’s shopping to be done, decorations to be
made, venue to reserve, food to be arranged, invitations to be sent out and all while staying on a realistic budget. All these things are essential to create a party
or an event and all these things are incredibly overwhelming all at once. It
takes hours out of an already busy schedule to address each element to a party,
but with a planner the majority of those stresses are alleviated immediately! You’ll
have a partner who works quickly and efficiently to arrange all the details of
your event and takes your ideas and desires and makes them happen. They work
for YOU.
3. YOUR PARTY
WILL LOOK BETTER.
DIY’s are
popular, especially with the growth of Pinterest and other social media sites,
but some aren’t so easy to recreate and rarely turn out like the pictures (have you ever
seen “Pinterest Fails”?). That often leads to wasted time and loss of money.
Avoid the fails. Hire a party planner. They have an eye for design. They have
expansive creativity and may think of things you wouldn’t have before. They
have the resources and skill to create custom looks for an affordable price.
4. YOU GET
BETTER PICTURES.
Party
planners need to advertise and to advertise their expertise, they need
pictures for their portfolio. They will either have a partner that will take
pictures (with your permission) at the event to use for their website and
social media or they will have a quality camera of their own to use. They will
know just the right angles and areas to photograph, giving you some awesome
ideas for your own photography of the event. Sometimes planners include
pictures in their services. That’s a huge plus!
5. YOU’LL
ACTUALLY GET TO ENJOY.
In all the
madness of planning the party, setting it up, keeping the punch bowl and food
trays full, initiating the party games, etc, it’s hard to enjoy yourself! Did
you even have time to grab a slice of cake for yourself? It’s not even
enjoyable! If you hire a party planner, those days are over! Planners take over
those responsibilities and that allows YOU to sit back and enjoy your perfect
event, STRESS FREE.
All these and more are perfect reasons for hiring a planner for your next party or event.
