Event and Party Planning On-line

By: Arj


If you are responsible for planning an Event or Party consider using resources available on-line. Using a free internet website like EVUGIFT can assist planning with benefits that have not been available previously. Using community based tools can enable you to: Add Events with RSVP, Send e-card invitations, Make group decisions, share files and pictures, Chat with your invited guests before and after the events.

On-line planning can be a community experience that can contribute to building an ambiance for your event even before it starts. Whether you are planning a simple housewarming party or a large Wedding, let’s first take a look at some of the common things you will do:
• Send invitations to guests
• Inform guests of details such as directions, addresses, Venue, dress code
• Create and share gift lists with your guests
• Delegate tasks to people
• Make group decisions and get advice from friends and family
• Accepting guests’ RSVPs

You have probably come across some of the pitfalls that exist using the traditional forms of communication, Phone and Email. Trying to arrange a date and time that suits everyone’s calendar can be a consuming and tiresome affair. However, arranging it on-line can save a lot of effort. You can simply set-up a Poll and then invite everyone to select dates that are suitable for them. Leaving you only to look at the results and picking the best date.

An event planning website can provide a common private area that can be used to interact with guests and even people who are helping to organise the event.

Planning on-line enables communication at one’s own convenience similar to email but with the added advantages that it is shared and available from a single accessible area. For each event, guests can be invited to RSVP and participate in Forum discussions, Polls, Task lists, uploading pictures and more.

Forums are a very popular way to communicate on-line. You can use them to chat about what you are ‘going to wear on the night’, ‘what kind of food people like’, ‘if anyone can recommend a good caterer’ or ‘what people are going to wear for fancy dress’. Whatever the topics might be, they contribute to creating a community spirit. It is also a perfect opportunity for unfamiliar and unknown guests to get to know everyone else.

You can begin to build an excitement and a momentum leading to the event. Invited guests feel like they are a part of something, they can also physically contribute at their own ease.

One of the keys to successful planning is delegation. With an event planning website you can create a ‘things to do’ list, enabling you to assign tasks to your members/guests. People can acknowledge what they have to do, update the status and leave a comment when it is complete.

As with most events you will probably want to chat about it afterwards to: Say thank you, exchange photos and of course reminisce about the good times. By the end of it, you will have created a unique record of your event that will have more to say than an album of photos.

The internet is a practical platform for a fun, sociable and interactive approach to planning successful events. An Event planning website like EVUGIFT helps to build a community spirit that carries into the actual event and afterwards.

Happy planning!
