What Goes Into a
Great Event?
Sherry Romello
 With the summer upon us, the weather practically
demands an outdoor celebration
 Whether looking for an excuse to gather friends, or
celebrating an occasion like a wedding or graduation,
planning a stellar event takes more than paper plates
and napkins
 Organizing a successful and fun event takes
forethought and more than a little talent
 Here are some helpful hints for throwing together your
next barn burner or shindig that work on any budget
Food
 When asked what matters most at a party, the
unanimous response is food
 Deciding the theme of your gathering will go far in
narrowing down your menu selection, and dont be
afraid to ask your guests what theyd be interested in
having
 Using open communication as a great way to plan out
your spread, you can also easily plan to avoid food
any allergies, or at the very least accommodate those
with more speci鍖c diets
Spacing
 Think like a guest. What would you most want to do
at an event?
 Create space for groups to gather and mingle.
Groups naturally form during a gathering as visitors
become comfortable, and preparing for this gives
you the opportunity to create communal space
 Comfortable seating doesnt have to be fancy, but it
allows you to loosely control where the crowds will
collect
Decorate
 Decorate the setting with uniformity
 Using a theme or color scheme is pleasing to
the eye, and by incorporating the
aforementioned nooks, you can embellish with
speci鍖c details that match your design
 Rather than present an open space, youve
created a warm and inviting area for your guests
to mingle and talk
 With very little effort, you can transform a simple
space into the perfect place to host an event
 Whether youre transforming an apartment or
backyard, your next event will be in capable
hands by following these steps
