Why Hire a Party Planner?

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....

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.
