Your sister is having a baby! Your cousin is engaged! Your best friend is having a milestone birthday! These life moments are meant to be celebrated and are so exciting! Don't get stressed about hosting duties. Use these tips to ensure it is an unforgettable event.
- Choose a Theme
It is way easier to plan an event when you are working within a theme. When choosing the theme make sure to pick something personal to the person you are celebrating or the event you are celebrating.
- Personal Touches
There are so many ways to make sure there are personal touches throughout your event. Create personalized table signs so the guests feel welcome and special. Display pictures of the guest of honor and her guests. Use an old family recipe or serve the food on the special dishes you never use. Check your online community for ideas and inspiration!
- Creative Beverages
Offer a boozy and non-boozy option to make sure everyone is satisfied! Offering a fun creative drink helps make the event special and memorable!
- A Fun Activity
When planning an activity make sure you are thinking about the person you are celebrating. If they hate being the center of attention- maybe do a group activity like build your own flower bouquet or have a wine and food pairing tasting. If the guests of the party don't know each other, think about an activity that helps people get to know each other.
- Favors Guest Actually Want
Favors tend to be old thinking but the reason behind them aligns with everything we believe in at jgoods! It is celebrating and thanking all the people who took their time to come out and celebrate and keeps that celebration going well after the party. However, favors can be tricky because we don't want you wasting money on something that people are just going to throw away. Think about items that fit into your theme, that remind you of your guest of honor and that people actually want!
We know hosting an event comes with a lot of pressure and stress. If you ever need ideas, want jgoods to help curate favors, or even plan the event for you so you can just relax and enjoy, please know we would love to help support you!
