If you are an event planner, you know that planning and executing a perfect Florida corporate event can be a stressful time. Since you could possibly be handling every detail of the event, from creating the guest list to designing the invitations, there is a lot riding on the line with you being held responsible. So, how can you alleviate some of the stress that comes with event planning for corporate events? Fun Planners has four tips to help keep you stress-free.
- Say No to Multitasking: While, in theory, doing a lot of little things at once sounds like a great idea, multitasking is a surefire way to forget details or make a mistake, all of which contribute to the amount of stress an event can cause. By assigning different tasks to different team members, it can help stretch the burden out to others, and they may also bring fresh ideas to the table.
- The Help of Technology: With all the advances in technology, there are a lot of tools that an event planner can take advantage of to help ease their stress. Consider apps Everclear and Slack, both of which allow event planners to organize their notes, ideas, and tasks for easy reference. These apps also allow others to join in the conversation because a collaborative effort is an efficient way of making events go smoother.
- Don’t Forget Yourself: With all the things that go into a successful event, you must remember to take care of yourself, because getting sick just can’t happen! Make sure you are getting enough sleep every night and remember to eat healthy meals.
- Set Realistic Goals: Even with the most well-laid plans, things will happen that you weren’t expecting. Just roll with the punches and remain calm. Every problem has a solution, and in the end, everyone will remember that you are the epitome of calm, cool, and collected.
Being an event planner is a rewarding career, but definitely not for the faint of heart, as the stress can be high at times. We hope that you remember these four tips the next time you start planning your Florida corporate event, and if you want to lessen the stress even more, Fun Planners is here to help.
