Before planning an event, it will be a good choice to follow some
guidelines and create an event planning checklist. Event Checklist may not only
help you to ease your event planning, it may also help you to plan an event in
an organized way. Since everything is systematized, you will get an alternative solution and enough time to tackle
if any potential problem arises. It will act as a reminder of each and everything
needed or involved within your event. It will help you get started in classifying
all the details and time indication and deadline involved with your event
planning process.
While
creating an event checklist, be sure about the event objective like what type
of event is, client’s requirement and expectation of the event, guest overview,
food & venue preferences, and overall
budget estimates. It helps you not to miss anything while planning an event.
When making a checklist, it is an essential
to start with the basics and note it down as you continue to plan your event.
Use any worthy tools so as to share your event checklist with your client, as it
helps to add any remaining requirements from the client’s side. This checklist can be useful for the next
event as well.
An Event Planning checklist should consist of
(i) Event schedule an outline of different programs supposed
to conduct in the event and book the entertainment programs like celebrities,
magic shows etc. required if any
(ii) Event venue is finding out the venue which is apt for
the event and meeting with the venue’s management, checking the venue and
booking formalities needed as well as parking permits for the event.
(iii) Count the number of guests going to attend the event and design &
deliver invitations to the event guests.
(iv) Event Theme/ Design and decorations for the event,
sitting arrangement considering the guest, stage decor, and all the decoration items needed, including scissors,
pins, staples, lights, and other decors with respect to theme choosing.
(v) Plan about Food, Dessert & Beverage menu considering
everyone. Make proper arrangement by contacting caterers and let client taste
the food before confirming a caterer.
(vi) If there is any registration required for the event,
prepare an invitation as how a guest can
register and set up event registration through the website or other social media.
(vii) Decide on the Event team like how many people are
required to run the event. Prepare and assign work to each team member and this
makes easy to find out team members who
are in charge of setting up.
(viii) Develop
a marketing plan and promotional strategies required for the event, if any.
(ix) Prepare
the Event budget and monitor your spending and put all event expenses into a
spreadsheet or other event software you use.
