Pre-Event Planning: What not to Overlook

There are dozens of details connected with any type of event, whether it’s a backyard BBQ or an informal wedding reception. Even when people believe a particular detail has been addressed and planned for, they often discover that there are gaps or insufficiencies. The following are some of the most commonly overlooked details.

Guest List

Never rely on word-of-mouth and never issue a blanket invitation via social media. Always send invitations with an RSVP for individuals that may not be computer savvy and make it clear that all invited guests are expected to RSVP.

Food

People are going to eat and drink more than the planned amount and there will inevitably be more people than anticipated. Always plan on an additional amount of food. Many individuals plan simpler menus as a cost-saving measure. It’s far easier and less expensive to serve extra burgers, hotdogs and punch than prime rib, soda and alcoholic beverages.

There will always be those that don’t RSVP, but show up anyway so be prepared. Always ensure that everyone needs to let the host/hostess know about any special dietary requirements ahead of time so vegan dishes and those that are nut or gluten-free can be provided.

Entertainment

Modern guests want activities to engage in and that’s where inflatables are an ideal choice. There are water slides, mazes and lawn games that will keep individuals busy for hours. Don’t forget music and the potential for dancing, along with any pertinent permits for music or serving alcoholic beverages if applicable, along with those for inflatables.

Liability

Most home owner’s insurance will cover injuries on the property, but there may be exclusions that leave hosts on the spot for expenses should someone be injured. Check the policy to identify what’s covered and keep a well-stocked first aid kit on hand.

Tents and Canopies

Any number of things can go awry, even at the most carefully planned event. The one thing that can’t be controlled is Mother Nature. Be sure that there’s sufficient seating for each individual so they can rest from the heat and humidity and plan on a canopy or tent where people can cool off or take shelter from any rain or storm that happens to blow through.

Throw a Fun Fall Party

Children love everything about Halloween and it’s a favorite with adults. The popularity of Halloween is second only to Christmas. A fun fall party can satisfy the fun of Halloween and celebrate the autumn season with a multitude of activities. The following are just a few of the activities that can be utilized for the trendiest fall parties.

Pumpkins

The orange fruits can be carved or painted, depending upon the ages of the children. Some innovative party planners are holding parties during which youngsters decorate their pumpkins by using a hairdryer to melt crayons and letting the wax drip over them. Don’t try this without adult supervision. For an outdoor activity, try removing the stem from mini pumpkins and try pumpkin bowling.

Scarecrows

The traditional defenders of cornfields throughout the ages are also fun decorations to make. Stuffing a life size scarecrow isn’t necessary. Mini scarecrows and versions thereof can be constructed with jars filled with candy corn, craft sticks and Styrofoam, plastic flower pots, or even paper bags and crayons for the youngest scarecrow fans. Be sure to have accessories on hand for faces and other features.

Creepy Snacks

Almost everyone has heard about peeled grapes to imitate eyeballs, but there’s a myriad of ideas to try from a spider web cake decorated with plastic arachnids to frosted Rice Krispy treats that emulate ghosts. Add some green food coloring to create a batch of toxic mac and cheese or create edible hairy spider legs with breadsticks coated with parmesan cheese.

Bounce House

For easy and convenient fall party entertainment, consider a bounce house shaped like a pumpkin, castle or haunted house. They’re popular entertainments that can be combined with carnival games, interactive activities, virtual simulators, and fun food machines if desired.

Fun Options

All the activities designed for a fun fall party can be adjusted and scaled to accommodate multiple age groups, interest levels and budgets. Autumn and Halloween are synonymous with spooky fun and as the second most popular holiday, deserves a classic party to celebrate.
