What are the 5 C’s when planning an event?

GREAT question! Let’s break it down.

Concept. What do you want event attendees to feel? Once you determine that, it’s time to figure out the details on how to make that feeling happen. WHAT your event is, WHO is your target audience, WHY are you planning it? ...What is your event's purpose? Finding the concept and vision is always the first step in planning a successful event.

Coordination. We all have some sort of coordination right? Yes, but can you balance appropriately? This step is about taking all of the tasks of your event, (coordinating times, budget, vendors, advertising, decorations, food, etc…) distributing them amongst team members, and making sure that everything runs smoothly. Organization and communication are key.

Control. This is perhaps the most important step in planning an event. However, it can oftentimes be overlooked. To be in control of an event, you have to be on top of everything and plan for the worst case scenario. What if your vendor cancels? What if your budget is low? What if there is an emergency? There are so many components to think about when planning an event so being in control of everything is essential to a successful event.

Culmination. The big day is here! Your event is happening and you and your team have got to study every little detail. Overwhelming right?! That’s okay! You’ve planned well and all of your work has led to this! Make sure your guests know EXACTLY what to do at all times! A great way to go about this is to provide a detailed itinerary. It may even be a good idea to rehearse the event if possible! Keep in mind, not everything may go as planned! Your speaker is not working. Do you have a spare one? Make sure to plan for the unexpected!

Closeout. You’re alllllllmost done! After your event, you want to ensure that if there are any payments to be made, they’re taken care of, and all contracts are completed. The final step is to finalize an evaluation process! How did event attendees feel? How did your planning team feel? What was good? What was bad? Take all of this information and make a note of it! Make sure to figure out if there were any kinks to work out for next time!!

Have you ever wanted to spice up your party with a fun theme? Whether it be for a birthday, Halloween, or just plain old fun, these 5 costume themes will have your guests uncovering their creativity!

1. Dress as your teenage self! Everybody has got that one photo of an outfit from high school that makes you think,”Yikes! What was I thinking?!” You thought you were SO cool with your leg warmers, crazy hair, low rise jeans, and the chain that slumped past your belly button. Take a blast from the past and recreate your most ICONIC high school look.

2. Masquerade ball! Now who doesn’t love a mysterious costume party? This one is a classic. And not only is it fun, it’s SUPER easy! Mask, fun fancy outfit of your choice, and you’re set!

3. Dress as your favourite adult beverage! This could get interesting… Picture this. Green/yellow dress, white boa, and a green hat or hair piece. What am I? A margarita! And who doesn’t LOVE a good margarita?!

4. Roaring 20’s! I mean, we ARE in 2021 aren’t we? Time to dig out all of your beads and velvet! From gangsters to flappers, you’ve got endless choices for this one! Oh! Don’t forget the quintessential dark red lipstick!

5. Disco! If you tell me you don’t like disco, you’re lying. This theme never gets old! Those flared jeans and big hair will make you bust out those rusty dance moves you’ve been saving all these years! Another classic that everyone will LOVE!

Hi everyone!! 🤩

My name is Kennedy and I LOVE everything and anything about social events!

I am from Vancouver Island, Canada and have lived here all of my life. My favourite catchphrase is Fix Your Life. The catch is that you have to say it sarcastically, opposed to soothing and caring. I am also my town’s current ambassador! Going through that process taught me public speaking skills as well as a love for community. It actually led me down the path to discover what career path I want to take. Seeing the committee around me work to plan the events that I attended was truly fascinating. I KNEW that I needed to be planning events asap.

I wanted to start this page to combine my love for writing and event planning. Here you will find a combination of wedding planning tips, colour schemes, themed event ideas, as well as many more!
