Hosting an event? Do THIS 10 minutes before guests arrive.
Stop decorating.
Seriously. š
Ten minutes before your event begins, put the tape and scissors DOWN.
Walk through the room like youāre a guest.
Take a deep breath and prepare to enjoy the big event youāve been preparing for
Where do I get a drink?
Where do I sit?
Where are the restrooms?
Where does the guest of honor go?
This is why I always encourage our customers to make sure they have enough time included for their set up. If you only give yourself 30 minutes for set up and someone shows up 15 minutes early, then you really only had 15 minutes of uninterrupted set up time, and thatās not enough.
Sometimes the best thing you can add to an event isnāt another decorationāitās making the experience feel effortless. Planning ahead makes such a difference š¤
