There are so many other reasons to use a planner for not only weddings but for parties and events. Does your event need a venue? If so, does the venue have food and drink available? Do they have tables, chairs, linens, etc.? Or are you throwing a backyard party with a caterer? If you aren’t using a caterer, who is making the food? When will they be there? Where will they be cooking? Will it be enough? Does the event need specific décor? Flowers? Is there a theme? How about dessert? Smores bar? Ice cream bar? Cigar bar? Speaking of bars, do you need a bartender? Is it a free for all? BYOB?
If that just stressed you out, call me. I can handle all the details of rehearsal dinners, baby showers, bridal showers, retirement parties, corporate event, and yes I’ll plan your kiddos first birthday. Parties tend to sound like a great idea until you are the one planning it, so don’t. Let me!
