Part of my job is organising events, whether they are corporate, for charity, or just for fun. Earlier this year I decided to organise a Charity Black Tie Dinner to raise money for Together for Short Lives. They work with children hospices around the UK. As a company we are sponsoring them for the next 2 years.
So I booked the venue, invited the people, chose the theme and booked the entertainment. I thought it would be fun and easy but it was a lot more hard work than that.
The theme I went for was James Bond, lots of films to choose from and hours scrolling through pintrest gave me plenty of ideas to make the centre pieces.
Hi all,
Sorry I have been quiet on here recently, I want to get at least 2 posts a week up on here but my day job has been taking over my life these past 2 weeks, as I am organising a Black Tie Dinner to help raise money for Together for Short Lives.
I am holding a black tie ball at Ribby Hall Village (a lovely hotel/spa/wedding venue near Preston, Lancashire (UK)) next week with a surprise theme! :)
I have had to organise it all from inviting friends, colleagues and clients, making the centre pieces and sorting out the seating plans.
It has been quite tiring and taken up a lot of my time, but I love it. I think an events planner would be good job for me, and I am doing a course in event planning next year :)
I will post lots of photos and update you more on how the event went next week, and reveal my surprise theme!
If there are any questions you have about organising an event from start to finish, please leave them in the comments below or tweet me.
Don't forget to give me a follow to keep upto date with my new posts.
