Insignia Productions’ Ranee Bartolacci-Meir shows you how
From important decisions such as choosing the venue to the seemingly minute details, so much time, effort and organization is required for a memorable event, it is easy to lose track. Luckily, party-planning extraordinaire and Owner of Insignia Productions, Ranee Bartolacci-Meir shares her tips for planning the perfect party…
o PICK A THEME— Selecting a theme and the detailed customizing of your event from beginning-to-end will show off your personality while creating a one-of-a-kind event that your guests will be sure to remember. Remember: every detail counts— from the invitation, which will set the stage for your fête, to a truly memorable favor that will bring back memories of that special celebration for your guests.
o THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE— Every party should possess that Wow! Factor, which is an aspect of the event that surprises and delights your guests, to truly make it memorable. Whether the surprise is as grand as an unexpected entertainer (a big band or famous comedian, just to name a few), as personal as a slideshow of old family and friends photos, or as glamorous as the star-style treatment for your guests complete with red carpet and photographers. Something unpredicted and unforgettable will ensure that your wedding, benefit or birthday party will stand out from the rest!
o MAKE A LIST— Before any planning gets underway, decide on an overall budget for your event, followed by prioritizing the event elements; for instance, food, drink, entertainment, décor, lighting, in addition to all other details that are considered essential for your event. Every host has distinct priorities and the order of those priorities is different.
o SCHEDULE SUCCESS— Throughout your event, make sure to keep everything moving continuously and exclude abrupt changes or breaks. Your party should follow an organized timeline and flow, which allows for all aspects to happen on time, according to plan and in a “natural” order. Whether it is the food, the entertainment, the lighting, anything…everything must be in synch. Your guests should be oblivious to any changes in mood settings that go on around them and focused on enjoying themselves. A natural flow and a detailed timeline will ensure a flawlessly fun event.
o BE A GRACIOUS AND FUN HOST— The most important of all! Be sure to meet-and-greet your guests and thank them for coming. Let them know how happy you are that they attended and that they have made your night special. Toast them! And remember, it is important to not be a nervous wreck and have fun. If the host is overwhelmed, then the guests will notice and that’s no fun. Dance and have a great time and let the event flow. If you see guests slowing down, get them off their seats, talk to them, whatever it takes to have them enjoy the event.
