Terri Ramsey Beavers If you have a special occasion on the horizon that you wish to celebrate in style, you need to get started right away. Keep reading for tips on how to make it the best day ever.
Find a Venue
The place where you choose to hold and host your special event will set the tone for the entire affair. From the color of the paint, or the absence of it, to the stately columns within the confines of the building, the details of the structure itself matter. Booking your event at a beautiful location via Anthology Events means you will blow everyone away.
Creating a unique and memorable event is easy when the setting is a showstopper. It almost takes on a life of its own. The architectural details of a specific place enhance the party instead of detracting from it.
Create the Guest List
One thing to note is that this is your party (or someone for whom you are hosting), and you are in charge of the guest list. Often, your friends, family, and even your parents will ask you to invite their friends or acquaintances to your party.
As you are the one footing the bill for the event, you know your budget, and you need to make the final guest list decisions. It is nice to be nice, of course, but it is also perfectly acceptable to keep your event as you intended it to be – with close personal friends and family.

Send Out Invitations
You have a handful of options on how to alert your guests to their requested attendance at your event. You can send out special Save the Date cards via the postal service. These cards should reflect the tone of the event. They can include a request for an RSVP at that time if you choose.
Another option is to use social media. Some generations will flock to this almost innate choice as they have grown up in the age of digital technology. Others may see it as lacking sophistication. Proceed with the path you see most fitting with the venue and event’s purpose.
Next, you can send out the invitations if you are within the standard timeline for doing so. This may vary based on event or celebration type, the country in which it is located, or other extenuating circumstances or customs.
Focus on the Purpose
To fully realize the reason there is an event in the first place, you need to get to a place of understanding. If you are not involved in the story behind the event, you should talk with those for whom you are planning the party. Take time to understand their motivations and the purpose for celebrating.
Take these tips and get ready to have the event of the year. Long after the party is over, the pictures and memories will live on. And who knows, you might just keep coming back to the same place with the same people because it was so great.
