3 BASIC STEPS FOR A D-I-Y PARTY PLANNER Self-catering is actually a lot less overwhelming than it sounds, as long as you have this primer to guide you.
When it comes to corporate events or large-scale parties, it’s natural to get a professional to organize everything for you. When you’re in cost-saving mode, however, it’s understandable to opt for planning and logistics all on your own. The good news is, it’s quite doable. As 30+ year experts in the event catering business, we, at Legacy, would like to help you out with this D-I-Y checklist so that you can easily navigate your way around self-catering and pull off a gathering your guests will remember forever:
Determine A Budget That Works For You While it might be tempting to rush into buying supplies and/or acquiring services, the most important and smartest thing you can do for yourself when organizing social events is to lay out a budget first. When you determine how much exactly you’re willing to spend overall, you’re able to make more informed decisions on how far you can go with each purchase. Having a clear budget also helps you track your expenses better, so you can know if you’re still covered with your funds or not.
To Invite Or Not To Invite Here’s another benefit of having a budget first – you can better determine how many guests you can invite to your business event or whatever celebration of life party you’re planning.
