Setting The Date Of Your Party
One of the most important first tasks you have planning your
party is setting the date. Setting the best possible date sounds
easier than it is. Before you make your decision, there are many
events and other important dates to consider. Your party is only
as good as the people you invite, so you need to make sure you
come up with a date that works for most of them.
You have to invite your guest early enough to make sure they
have enough time to prepare. Make sure you invite people at
least three or four weeks prior to the party. If you call
somebody a day before the party, they may not be able to attend
due to other engagements. Also, inviting people to a party is
considered rude. Someone invited the last minute may think, you
invited him or her so late to avoid having him or her at the
party.
You should give your guest enough time, and you should give
yourself enough time too. You need to make sure you have time to
prepare. Because there are so many components to plan a great
party, be sure to give yourself enough time. Before setting the
date for your party, you should consider your friends and family
members' schedules. Birthdays, graduations, vacations, and other
events may prevent people important to you attend your party.
It is best not to schedule your party on a Holiday, unless your
party is related to the Holiday itself. It makes sense to
schedule a big barbeque party for the 4th of July. But if you
think people you plan to invite to the party will be out of town
on your chosen date, you should reconsider the date of the
party.
The food is an essential part of any party, so carefully
consider it. Try to arrange more than one kind of food, so your
guest will have more than one option. Remember, what you like
may not be equally popular with your guest. It doesn't hurt to
ask a few of the invited guest to see what kind of food they
like.
