To-do lists are imperative for any Orlando event planning agent. A list of things that need to be done in advance can be the difference between having an event take the world by storm or end in disaster. To learn more about what should be on your event planning to-do list, keep reading.
4-6 Months Before Event
It’s important that four to six months before your event, you have the event goals, objectives, date, and venue established. If you don’t have the finish venue yet, keep a running list of backup plans so you don’t end up with an event and no venue. It’s important that you have an idea of how many event managers, committees, and volunteers you will need to set off the event. This will help you develop the brand of your event, the publicity you want to surround the event, and more.
2 Months Before Event
The two-month mark before your event, you should be sending reminders to your guests. Along with reminders, you will want to make sure you are briefing any of your hosts, greeters, or volunteers; you can do this by planning run-throughs so your team will know exactly what time, plans, and events are in place throughout the night. This is the time you will start planning for photo, interview, and video opportunities as well. You will want to discuss and plan how you want your event to be shared and executed over social media.
Event Day
The day of the event, you want to make sure all of your ducks in a row so everything goes swimmingly. Check in with each committee, each volunteer, host, or speaker to make sure they are prepared. You can provide them with print outs of their speeches, their job duties, and a timesheet for better record keeping and to keep everyone on track at all times throughout the event.
