Event Planning with a Group

Event Planning With A Group

It's party time! You and a group of friends or associates have decided to ban together to host an event. You gather together for an event planning brainstorming session and you can't decide on anything. Every person involved wants different things. Instead of planning the perfect party, you've spent hours debating something as simple as the design of the invitation.

One of the positive benefits of event planning with a group of people is that each person can take on a role. One person can be responsible for invitations, while another tends to the menu and a third handles the decorations. The burden of the event planning is divided into sections and each person can place their full attention on one aspect instead of one person become flustered while trying to remember every aspect.

There are drawbacks though when you have many voices all involved in the event planning process. Differences in opinion might create some conflicts and what one person suggests, another might discount.

There are ways to handle the many varying opinions and still create a memorable event. One way is to decide on a voting method. If there are several people involved, you can agree at the beginning of the event planning process that majority wins. This can resolve any disagreements in a fair and reasonable way. When everyone has had their vote, the most votes win and the decision is final.

Another really effective approach is to discuss everyone's strengths before the event planning discussions ever get underway. If one person enjoys menu planning, this area could be left up to them, if another is very creative, decorations might be their area of expertise. Utilizing people's individual likes and strengths can help guarantee not only a smooth event planning process but a highly successful event as well.
