Planning a Party, New York-Style

NYC is ridden with parties galore. What makes yours special?

Choisissez une musique adaptée à l'événement

Ne détestez-vous pas quand vous allez à une soirée de réseautage et que le DJ fait exploser Rihanna et que les gens ne peuvent pas s'entendre ? La musique ne sert pas seulement à remplir l’espace aérien. Il s'agit de donner une ambiance, un ton, une ambiance. Choisissez une musique qui dégage l’ambiance que vous recherchez. J'adore les artistes comme « Bitter Sweet » et les mix de « Hotel Costes » lorsque j'organise des soirées schmooze ; c'est-à-dire un son détendu et intrigant qui complète une conversation au lieu de la concurrencer.

Planning a Party, New York-Style

La préparation est la clé

J'ai une règle : la veille de l'événement est le jour où je ne fais RIEN d'autre que me détendre. Cela signifie que tout, de la liste des invités au calendrier de l'événement, est préparé à l'avance afin que je puisse me concentrer sur ma préparation à être un très bon hôte. Créez un calendrier indiquant quand les choses auraient déjà dû être faites et assurez-vous que la veille de l'événement est votre jour de congé. Un événement est comme une production théâtrale. Toutes les semaines de répétitions avant la première sont chargées, mais la veille, on va voir un film ou on dîne avec un ami et on oublie tout. Réveillez-vous rafraîchi, excité, gonflé d'énergie et confiant d'avoir une superbe fête à venir.

    Yes Invite people! more people who will be attending your event the merrier. There are lots of ways to contact people with the use of technology because it is fast and efficient. You can send them messages by group in Facebook or message them with snail mail which is the old- fashioned way of sending a message to other people. It will also create an impression to the person you have invited and also the feeling they will get when opening the invitation they have received is thrilling. Lastly, make sure to talk to them and ask them if they are enjoying your event.

    There will be an event happening on the next few months, doing it yourself is stressful and it needs a lot of work. My first option will be hiring someone to do the job for me.

    Why don’t you just hire an event planner to make it easier for you. Hiring an Event planner/company to help you organize your event is essential nowadays. They have great knowledge and experienced in planning an event and they know a lot of suppliers that can also give them discounts. They have the stress while all you need to do is to attend and enjoy the event. With an event planner you can have a better and enjoyable party without shouldering the responsibility in planning the event.

    Great tips! Planning an event is really an stressful task to do. I think it is also important to create and set a theme that perfectly fits the tone and content of the event (you do not want to confuse your guests on what kind of event they are attending).Create ideas that will also engage both the fans and the sponsors.
    Be innovative when planning what is the atmosphere you want for your event and also think of ways on how you can entertain your guests like hiring a DJ or a band. Lastly create impression that guests can share it to others on how good and awesome the event they have attended.

    Event is not just about party, music and food it is also a good way for business owners to promote their brands and business. It is important to plan and list your ideas about the event before executing it. When an event becomes successful it is also a great technique for the company’s marketing, networking and engagement. Follow some great pointers like this article on how you can make a successful even whether it’s a sports event, business event or etc. When organizing and planning on executing event esp. big events, you should know first the purpose of the event and why are you going to perform this event.

  6. I went to one of Sally's naked body painting parties. It was SO crazy and fun 🙂

  7. Planning a party is definitely all about your guests and making everyone feel like they achieve something by being there. I really like these planning tips a lot, especially the last one about staying connected. If your party is awesome and professional, it totally is a reflection of who you are and what you bring to the community. Plus, it gives you a chance to meet people and make new friends who want to help as much as you do!

    Wow, I always assumed clubs were the go-to venues for events but glad I got the memo now! Where else are good places to host events? Also, being a calm host is totally important. There's nothing more uncomfortable than being around someone who's buzzing and nervous

    I actually Youtube-ed “Bitter Sweet” and “Hotel Costes”. I must say, perfect music for my next party!
