Planning your Special Event in Trinidad

Throughout the year there always seems to be a reason to celebrate.  Maybe it’s a holiday, a wedding, a birthday, birth of a child or just celebrating friendships, whatever the reason, everyone loves a good party.  Besides the reason for the celebration, there is a lot of planning that goes into a special event.  If you plan on hosting a party in the near future, be sure you’ve got everything covered to ensure a good time for everyone, including yourself.

Start at the Beginning - Guests & Budget

When putting together a special event, start at the beginning when it’s time to plan.  You want to start with a guest list.  Knowing the amount of people attending will really dictate the rest of the planning.  Once you are set on your guests, figure out what your budget is for the party.  When developing your budget, think about whether you will need to rent a space for the party, catering costs, entertainment and decorations and include all of these costs in your budget. 

Event Space and Food

Once you’ve determined your guest list you can zero in on where you want the party to be held.  If it’s a small group you may decide to keep the party at home.  For larger groups you home may not work so you’ll need the perfect spot for your big party.  When looking for your space, look for something that conveys the vibe that you are looking for and has the space you need.  If you plan on hiring a band or DJ, make sure the space can accommodate your music choice.  The food is probably the most important part of an event.  If you love to cook and are up for making all the food for the party, it is a great way to save money.  Oftentimes, people don’t want the hassle of planning a menu, preparing it all and planning the party all at the same time.  Find a good caterer to take away some of the special event planning.  Many times the space you rented will have a catering service that you can use as well.  This is ideal as it’s easiest on the hosts.
