There are&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.event-ure.com\/food\/\">caterers to hire<\/a>, seating charts to map, and most importantly, hosts to appease. As an event planner, it\u2019s important to maintain an air of professionalism when planning a party. There are unwritten rules that every event coordinator should follow to pull off the soiree of the season. Here are some of the most important do\u2019s and don\u2019ts to keep in mind when planning a large event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Budget Carefully.&nbsp;<\/strong>Most event planners have a set amount of money that they can spend on a party. It\u2019s important to stay within this budget, and the best way to do so is by allocating cash for essentials such as venue rental, catering, and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.event-ure.com\/tech\/\">sound equipment<\/a>. Drawing up a solid budget ensures that you don\u2019t end up overspending in one area and neglecting another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay on Schedule.&nbsp;<\/strong>Creating a schedule is important as setting a budget early on in the party planning process. Event coordinators should map out a day-by-day plan that outlines what they plan to accomplish and try their hardest to stick to this schedule. It\u2019s a good idea to leave a little bit of leeway for time-sensitive bookings in case things don\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vet Your Team.&nbsp;<\/strong>Often, event planners don\u2019t work alone. Those that work as the head of a team need to make sure that their number twos are creative, hard-working, and reliable. Choosing the right event planning committee is one of the keys to making any event&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.event-ure.com\/clients\/\">a success<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019ts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overwhelm Yourself.&nbsp;<\/strong>It\u2019s important not to try and do everything yourself, as this just leads to unnecessary stress and poor job performance. Instead of micromanaging, event coordinators need to trust their team to help take care of some of the heavy lifting. You should also keep in mind that even when you give an event your absolute all, you still can\u2019t please everyone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rush Things.&nbsp;<\/strong>While it\u2019s important to stay on schedule, event planners also need to be careful not to rush important decisions such as choosing a venue or catering company. Instead of going for the first available option, take the time to research local choices in order to find the best service for the lowest price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Forget the Paperwork.&nbsp;<\/strong>It\u2019s a good idea for event coordinators to make sure to save all of the paperwork. You should make copies of any contracts with your clients and request confirmations from all suppliers, vendors, and services that you hire. It\u2019s also a good idea to save receipts for budgeting purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.event-ure.com\/plan\/\">When planning a party<\/a>, there are important rules to follow and common mistakes to avoid to make your event a success.
