By Andrea Wyn Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 15Jul2009 Word count: 408 Viewed: 251 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Whether you are giving a party for 20 or 200 guests there isn't much difference in what you need to do to get ready for the event. The important tools all involve organization and planning. You start with a date in mind, your guest list, invites and RSVPs, which then leads to knowing who will be attending the event. Very important, on the invitation, you need to make sure to include the RSVP. I can't begin to tell you how many people forget this simple but most important step. Either by yourself or with a caterer, you decide on what you will be serving and always be aware of any special food needs or allergies your guests may have. After the basics are completed, then comes the fun part. Design and decor. Again, either it is a simple table set for 20 or a large room with seating for 200. Either way, you still have to pay attention to the amount of dishes, glassware, flatware, linen and decor you will need for the event. What is always easy and fun is seating guests at long tables. You can have a long table for 12 guests, 20 guests, 40 guests or a room set with tables that seat anywhere from 12 to 20 guests. What is nice is to have low long floral, pillar candles, flower petals and votives running down the length of the center part of the table. You can also use a table runner down the center or two, one on each side where the guests are seated. These are just a few ideas to start you off. Service is an important factor at your dinner party since you want to be sure that your guests are attended to and that the food is hot. It is always a good idea to discuss timing of the meal with your caterer or whoever is helping you with the event to ensure that they meet your expectations of what you want for that evening. Of course, once the food is on the table and your guests are eating is the time that you are able to relax and be a part of the event. Allow yourself to be a guest at your own event. And finally, don't forget the party favor! This can be something simple and fun or a little sweet that your guests take away with them when they leave. Never-the-less, the party favor is always something a guest loves to take home! With over 15 years in the special event industry, Andrea is looking to the future of incorporating event planning and social media.
