3. Make a Checklist• Make your checklist easy to read and navigate.

– I recommend typing it out and saving the document. This allows you to go back and update the list as you need.

• Include:– Contact information– Day of the event plans– Basic things that need to be done (list step by step)

mishap.• DON’T sweat the small stuff!

7. Check Your Surroundings

• If you are planning an event at a venue with multiply banquet rooms ask what other events are occurring on your event date.– If you are planning a wedding reception and the room over is a high

school prom, and can have an impact on the event.

all your hard work!

10. Evaluate the event

• Ask yourself…– What could I have done better?– Was it worth it?– Did the guest have fun?– Did I reach my goals?– Would I do this again?
