Anniversaries are times
for families and friends to come together and help the happy couple celebrate
their memorable day. The event can be social, formal, and semi-formal; whatever
theme you want your event to be, and then go for it. It is your anniversary, so
you have the liberty to celebrate, however; you choose. Planning any event
takes lots of skill, and know-how; so you must have pen, pad, and calendar to
start planning.
The date is the first
thing to decide. If your anniversary falls on a day mid week, then consider
scheduling your party for the Saturday or Sunday for the celebration. If your
date falls on a weekend, then, you have no problem. The most significant thing
to do is start your plans months in advance, you do not want your event to
clash with anything your friends of family perhaps planning for that period.
Consider if your anniversary comes during Christmas time, then this maybe a
problem. Like my birthday is the 18th, my anniversary is the 20th and Christmas
is 5 days away. How do I plan?
The next thing is who goes
on your list. Families are the first persons to start your list. For me, this is
about 3/4s of my invitees as I have a large family. Couples invited as friends
will make up your number. You may consider inviting some single friends who may
not feel uncomfortable, but you know will certainly help you celebrate your
special moment. If it is an intimate gathering, you know how to arrange for
persons to meet and possibly start something unique.
Catered events of this
kind allow you to spend time with your guests. You do not want to be busy in
the kitchen when you could be waited on by professionals. You will need to book
your event as early as 3 months before your date. This will give your caterers
time to finalize your menu and be flexible if you have to make last minute
changes. Your theme may come in at this time as you may want to consider the
caterers using items to blend in with your theme. For decorations, you may want to hire a professional, who is
not too expensive but is able to produce your taste in the theme you want.
