Why Hiring an Event Planner is Essential for Your Corporate or Non-Profit Event


Ask The Expert, Events

McKinney National Business Park Ground BreakingPlanning a successful corporate or non-profit event requires careful organization, attention to detail, and the ability to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously. With so many moving parts, it’s no wonder that more and more businesses and organizations are turning to professional event planners for assistance. We get asked the question all the time, why do companies hire an event planner?  So, let us tell you! From saving time and reducing stress, to ensuring a seamless experience for attendees, a knowledgeable event planner can make all the difference in creating a memorable and impactful event!

Expertise and Experience

One of the primary advantages of hiring a corporate event planner is their expertise and experience in the field. Event planners have a deep understanding of the industry, including the latest trends, best practices, and logistical challenges. Our extensive knowledge allows us to provide valuable insights and guidance throughout the planning process.  This ensures that your event is executed flawlessly.  We participate in continuing education and attend showcases for the latest products and services offered for events so we can make sure to bring this knowledge to bear when planning your event!

Time Savings

Planning an event requires significant time and effort, which can be overwhelming for busy professionals. By delegating the task to an event planner, you can free up you and your staff’s valuable time to focus on your core responsibilities. As event planners, we handle all the intricate details, from venue selection and vendor management to creating a comprehensive timeline, allowing you to stay focused on what you do best.

Celebrating Your Birthday in Style No Matter the Age


Events

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You! No matter the age, the song stays the same unless you have that kid accusing you of smelling like a monkey. That being said, birthday parties evolve as you age. Here are some ways to make the most of both:

 

As an adult, be more selective! By this time in our lives, we know far too many people, or in some cases have too many coworkers to just invite everyone. As adults, people affect our parties quite a bit more as well, thus don’t invite someone you don’t care for! Is it going to be weird on Monday if that coworker saw you with your 5th – 10th drink? I'm not judging, but they might.  Ask yourself, who’s going to help me celebrate this next year in the right way?! Sometimes it comes down to location. If you’re doing a wine and movie night in your one-bedroom apartment, you probably don’t want to invite all of your acquaintances. In this case be really selective and only invite those you are closest with.  - Birthday Party - Event Planner - Each & Every Detail

 

Who to invite

 

Kid party –

As children get older, the invitee list tends to get smaller because they understand relationships better and can tell you who their actual friends are. Until that understanding is there, it’s best to invite the whole class, or whole play group. Since they don’t understand if they are friends, they really don’t understand why they didn’t get to go to your awesome Spongebob party.

This doesn’t have to go on forever. Once your child has a better-defined friend circle, you can start being more selective.

Adult party –

As an adult, be more selective! By this time in our lives, we know far too many people, or in some cases have too many coworkers to just invite everyone. As adults, people affect our parties quite a bit more as well, thus don’t invite someone you don’t care for! Is it going to be weird on Monday if that coworker saw you with your 5th – 10th drink? I’m not judging, but they might.  Ask yourself, who’s going to help me celebrate this next year in the right way?!

Sometimes it comes down to location. If you’re doing a wine and movie night in your one-bedroom apartment, you probably don’t want to invite all of your acquaintances. In this case be really selective and only invite those you are closest with. 

 

As a kid, holidays, including birthdays, are the time where you can ask for that cool dump truck you saw at target that mom didn’t let you get, or the Elsa doll you want to play with while watching Frozen for the thousandth time! Kids don’t have their own money to go out and buy toys whenever they please, so its encouraged to bring a gift to a child’s birthday party. If you need help figuring out what to get, ask the parent what shows or books the kids are interested in or ask if they need anything specific! - Birthday Party - Birthday Present - Event Planner - Each & Every Detail

 

Presents

 

Kid party –

As a kid, holidays, including birthdays, are the time where you can ask for that cool dump truck you saw at target that mom didn’t let you get, or the Elsa doll you want to play with while watching Frozen for the thousandth time! Kids don’t have their own money to go out and buy toys whenever they please, so its encouraged to bring a gift to a child’s birthday party. If you need help figuring out what to get, ask the parent what shows or books the kids are interested in or ask if they need anything specific!

Adult party –

When you’re having a birthday party as an adult, the presence of your friends and family kind of becomes your present. All your friends probably have their own families or jobs, it can be a lot harder for them to make it to the event nonetheless find the time to get a gift. That’s not to say gifts aren’t always appreciated!

As adults, gifts can become more difficult. I don’t know about y’all, but I have those family members that are so hard to shop for because they go out and buy what they want and need since they have the money to do so. My recommendation for that, get them some nice wine or gift card – if anyone I know is reading this – Starbucks gift card for me!

 

Isn’t this what makes adult parties fun? With the everyday stress of adulting, your guests will LOVE you for providing free booze or at least a bar they can purchase some from! If you don’t want to have to pay for a bunch of it, make it a BYOB party! - Birthday Party - Event Planner - Each & Every Detail

 

Alcohol

 

Kids party –

While some parents will appreciate having a drink, you’re probably having this party morning to early afternoon.  Take into consideration, the parents are probably driving and you’ll have plenty of kids to keep your eye on at that point. You can choose to provide it, but don’t think you have to – its not expected

Adult party –

Isn’t this what makes adult parties fun? With the everyday stress of adulting, your guests will LOVE you for providing free booze or at least a bar they can purchase some from! If you don’t want to have to pay for a bunch of it, make it a BYOB party!

 

When portraying a theme in a kid’s party, you get to go all out! Safari theme - get a tiger cake, wear animal costumes, and do a petting zoo to incorporate actual animals! This is why Pinterest is a thing, be extra with executing this theme! Sky is the limit! - Kid's Birthday Party - Safari Theme - Event Planner

We LOVE this party featured on Beijos! Check out all the photos.

 

Themes

When portraying a theme in a kid’s party, you get to go all out! Safari theme – get a tiger cake, wear animal costumes, and do a petting zoo to incorporate actual animals! This is why Pinterest is a thing, be extra with executing this theme! Sky is the limit!

Adult Party –

Most themes work weather you’re an adult or kid. As an adult though, take a most sophisticated approach. Use that same safari theme, but instead of taking It so literally, do animal prints and incorporate that into everything. Again, if you get stuck, Pinterest is a blessing – and sometime a curse as you want to go over the top!

5 Keys to a Successful Ribbon Cutting


Wedding Planning Advice

Ribbon cuttings are fabulous events for promoting your company and its mission to your local community.  They can be for unveiling your new business, new products or services, or new management.  We love helping plan these fun events and have a few ideas to share to help you plan a successful ribbon cutting!

 

No seriously, your date is important! You want the VIPs to show up (you invited the Mayor, right?) and you don’t want to compete with other local events that will draw your crowd away.  You also want to make sure your building is complete and ready for your guests.  Give yourself at least a month to plan it as you need to get on people’s calendars early enough, so they can attend, and you want to create a buzz in the community so people know it’s happening. - Event Planner - Ribbon cutting - Each & Every Detail - McKinney, TExas

 

1. Choose a Great Date

No seriously, your date is important! You want the VIPs to show up (you invited the Mayor, right?) and you don’t want to compete with other local events that will draw your crowd away.  You also want to make sure your building is complete and ready for your guests.  Give yourself at least a month to plan it as you need to get on people’s calendars early enough, so they can attend, and you want to create a buzz in the community so people know it’s happening.

 

As mentioned, always invite the Mayor and local dignitaries to your event. Work with your local Chamber of Commerce to make sure you invite all the right people and get their ambassadors involved to.  These are community leaders and their attendance and promotion of your event is valuable!  Also make sure your key business partners and key supporters can attend, including those family members who have worked so hard to help you build your business.  These are all the people that deserve recognition too and can certainly make a key appearance as a ribbon holder or presenter. (Oh, and make sure to have those big scissors and ribbon!  Your local Chamber of Commerce usually has a set that you can use or visit your local party rental store.) - Event Planner - Ribbon Cutting - McKinney, Texas - Each & Every Detail

 

2. Invite the Right People

As mentioned, always invite the Mayor and local dignitaries to your event. Work with your local Chamber of Commerce to make sure you invite all the right people and get their ambassadors involved to.  These are community leaders and their attendance and promotion of your event is valuable!  Also make sure your key business partners and key supporters can attend, including those family members who have worked so hard to help you build your business.  These are all the people that deserve recognition too and can certainly make a key appearance as a ribbon holder or presenter. (Oh, and make sure to have those big scissors and ribbon!  Your local Chamber of Commerce usually has a set that you can use or visit your local party rental store.)

 

Working with local vendors to produce and promote this event is a great way to build great relationships. Is there a printer in your community that can help with printing your marketing materials, banners or flyers to promote the event?  Is there a local chef or restaurant that you can partner with for food for the event?  What about a local florist to help decorate your space?  These are all valuable relationships and cross-promoting is an amazing thing in a local community.  Yes, you might could get these services or products cheaper elsewhere, but how great would it be if the local printer down the street sent you their clientele week after week? - Event Planner - Ribbon Cutting - McKinney, Texas - Each & Every Detail

 

3. Think Local

Working with local vendors to produce and promote this event is a great way to build great relationships. Is there a printer in your community that can help with printing your marketing materials, banners or flyers to promote the event?  Is there a local chef or restaurant that you can partner with for food for the event?  What about a local florist to help decorate your space?  These are all valuable relationships and cross-promoting is an amazing thing in a local community.  Yes, you might could get these services or products cheaper elsewhere, but how great would it be if the local printer down the street sent you their clientele week after week?

 

Send out a press release, create fantastic invitations and advertise your event through social media. You want to let people know when and where, but also the details including that you are providing fabulous food.  I know, I know, you don’t want people to come JUST for the food.  It’s a great enticement though for those who are considering attending and it might just be that cherry on top of the sundae that gets them there! - Event Planner - Ribbon Cutting - McKinney, TX - Each & Every Detail

 

4. Spread the Word

Send out a press release, create fantastic invitations and advertise your event through social media. You want to let people know when and where, but also the details including that you are providing fabulous food.  I know, I know, you don’t want people to come JUST for the food.  It’s a great enticement though for those who are considering attending and it might just be that cherry on top of the sundae that gets them there!

 

Speakers – Someone needs to get up there and talk about your news, giving a brief rundown of what’s happening and what your company is about. This can be you or it can be your biggest fan club members.  Make sure they are engaging and know what points to address.  You can have 2-3 speakers, but make sure they keep it short at no more than 3 minutes each. - Event Planner - Ribbon Cutting - McKinney, TX - Each & Every Detail

 

5. Make it a True Event!

You need all the elements of a great event as you want people to talk about how much fun they had. Keep these elements in mind for your day:

  • Emcee/Host – This can be someone from your company or a local celebrity. They can help introduce speakers and keep the event moving. 
  • Speakers – Someone needs to get up there and talk about your news, giving a brief rundown of what’s happening and what your company is about. This can be you or it can be your biggest fan club members.  Make sure they are engaging and know what points to address.  You can have 2-3 speakers, but make sure they keep it short at no more than 3 minutes each.
  • Food – We already mentioned partnering with someone local for food. Make sure it’s simple and easy to eat!

  • Entertainment – Definitely have some music during the event, but consider a fun demo station for your products, an activity that engages guests with your space or services, or even strolling performers, like magicians or clowns (if kid-focused) to keep guests enjoying themselves.
  • Branding – Don’t forget to brand your event through signage and giveaways for guests to take home. You can even do branded food like cupcakes or cookies! 
  • Photographer – Don’t rely on local media providing you images, hire a local photographer so you can have images to document the event and promote your company with afterwards.

 

Remember, this event should be a lot of fun for you too!  If planning your ribbon cutting is feeling overwhelming, we are here to help!  Just give us a call and we can help plan the event and source the things you need to make your ribbon cutting truly successful!

Anniversary Party or Vow Renewal?

We love it when couples want to celebrate their anniversary!  Mazel tov!  Way to go!  Staying happily married is HARD WORK, and we totally agree that you deserve a party to celebrate.  One of my first questions for these couples is always, are you interested in an anniversary party or a vow renewal?  The two can be quite different! - Vow Renewal - Anniversary - Event Planner - Each & Every Detail

We love it when couples want to celebrate their anniversary!  Mazel tov!  Way to go!  Staying happily married is HARD WORK, and we totally agree that you deserve a party to celebrate.  One of my first questions for these couples is always, are you interested in an anniversary party or a vow renewal?  The two can be quite different!

 

Much like any other type of party, an anniversary party can really run the gamut in terms of size, timing, and general scale.  You can go more upscale by celebrating your anniversary in throwing a swanky dinner party at a favorite restaurant. Go more low key by putting together a barbecue and pool bash in your backyard. You can even go down the middle with creating a beautifully elegant evening of cocktails and passed tidbits. The choice is yours! - Anniversary Party - Event Planner - Each & Every Detail

I must say, I loved the way my parents celebrated their 35th through 40th anniversaries! Every year, we'd drop off a case of sparkling wine from their favorite Napa vineyard with the fine folks at Silver Fox. Beginning at 5pm, the restaurant would serve a glass of bubbles to everyone in the bar and restaurant.  My parents would invite some close friends (and of course, their charming daughters), take over the bar, and party until the bottles ran dry.  Super fun, but casual for people to drop in and out at their own leisure.  They would finish up with a late dinner in the restaurant.  This was a style that really reflected my parents' interests which is good food and wine, and a fun and upbeat environment in a sophisticated but welcoming environment.  A great anniversary party plays to your strengths and interests as a couple.  What makes your marriage yours?

I must say, I loved the way my parents celebrated their 35th through 40th anniversaries!

A vow renewal can also be a casual affair, but often I see couples celebrate a vow renewal for one of two reasons: 1. They did a justice of the peace ceremony for their wedding, and now they're ready to invest in a full blown second wedding to celebrate 2. Something significant has recently happened in their marriage, and they want to celebrate the changes in their relationship by rewriting and renewing their vows to each other. - Vow Renewal - Anniversary - Event Planner - Each & Every Detail

 

Vow Renewals

A vow renewal can also be a casual affair, but often I see couples celebrate a vow renewal for one of two reasons:

1. They did a justice of the peace ceremony for their wedding, and now they’re ready to invest in a full blown second wedding to celebrate

2. Something significant has recently happened in their marriage, and they want to celebrate the changes in their relationship by rewriting and renewing their vows to each other. 

 

Either way, they tend to be a bit more like planning a wedding, and a bit less like throwing a party.  I see many common wedding vendors being used for a vow renewal (photography, videography, venue and catering, cake or dessert, entertainment, floral and decor, and paper goods).  That being said, you could certainly make your vow renewal more relaxed than a wedding if that's your preference!  But because there are a couple different parts to the day, you should think about the flow of the event to make it enjoyable for all. - Anniversary - Event Planner - Each & Every Detail

Menu – The menu can be mainly appetizers or snacks, which either you provide, or your guests can bring something to contribute. A self-serve bar is key (pre-mixed drinks in containers work well for signature cocktails).

Décor – For this style event, simple décor like a wreath on your door and maybe a tree, are all you need. It doesn’t have be complicated, the elegance level is up to you. 

Entertainment – Holiday music and a fun but simple favor for guests to take when they leave, like pre-wrapped Christmas cookies or a fun ornament to mark the occasion makes this a fun and easy event for guests to attend.

Optional – Theme it Up! Ask guests to wear their favorite ugly sweater or holiday themed costume when they make an appearance.

 

2. The At-Home Dinner Party

The dinner party is a bit more traditional and very intimate in feel.

Menu – This can be buffet or plated, just make sure to have enough seats for all to sit at once. Beverages can be a self-serve bar, or you can serve each guest their requested drink personally to make them feel more taken care of. 

Décor – Style can level up with table decorations for dinner, including place cards like custom ornaments or holiday foliage.

Entertainment – Holiday music for dinner is easy, then fun games after typically follow. Games can be gift exchanges, fun activities like holiday movie drinking games or name that Christmas carol game for teams.  Coffee or hot cocoa can finish the evening up with dessert. 

 

3. Let’s Do Something Fun!

It’s great to get together and do a fun activity or something to help prep for the holidays!

Entertainment – Choose an activity you know your guests would enjoy, like gift wrapping, a cookie exchange, building a gingerbread house, decorating cookies, white elephant gift exchange, wreath making party, or even a holiday movie marathon!

Menu – When the focus is the entertainment or activity, make the food and drink simple. Choose a combination of sweet and savory snacks to provide or ask your guests to contribute.  Have a self-serve beverage station with a holiday punch, both with and without alcohol for guests to choose from.  (Cider or cocoa can perfect for this!)

Décor – Your entertainment will probably provide enough festive cheer that you may not need any decorations at all, depending on what you choose!
