How to Approach Corporate Event Planning With Confidence

Planning a corporate event is no easy feat, but can be achieved if you plan ahead. Take note of the following tips to approaching corporate event planning with confidence.

Define Your Goals

The best way to begin is to define what exactly it is you want to achieve from your event. Outline the primary and secondary objectives of your event, as well as how you are going to achieve them. This should give you a good idea of what type of event it is you want to plan.

Create a Checklist

The next step will be to create a corporate event checklist that details everything that needs to get done before the big day. A corporate event checklist will also help you manage your budget, and is a great help when it comes to delegating jobs to your event planning team members.

Make a Timeline

You can also create a timeline that will ensure you get everything completed at an appropriate date – for example, if a catering company needs three weeks’ notice, you won’t run the risk of forgetting and contacting them at the last minute to be told they can’t do it.

Hire Some Help

Creating and following a plan is a highly useful aspect of event planning, but you can also get help from dedicated companies that make corporate event planning their business. Whether you need help hiring interior and exterior decorations for a product launch or company dinner, or you need to set up a marquee to house all your guests, a party hire company can help make your event planning dreams a reality.

Five Wedding Snaps You Didn't Know You Wanted

Even those couples who thought they had their wedding photo shoot all planned out often look back and wish they had photographed a few other special moments. To ensure no moment of your wedding day is left unsnapped, take note of the following five important wedding photo moments.

1 – The Bride Getting Ready

We’re definitely not suggesting photographing the bride in her wedding day knickers! However, the moment when her treasured bridesmaids are helping her with her veil and makeup is definitely worthy of snapping.

2 – Walking Down the Aisle

The moment when the bride and groom first lock eyes as the bride traverses the aisle is a moment the couple will want to treasure forever.

3 – Location Shots

Ask your wedding photographer to take a few snaps of your wedding ceremony and reception location. Snaps like these make great introductory snaps in wedding photo albums, and will be a terrific memory all on their own.

4 – The Rings

Getting a few shots of your gorgeous wedding rings before they are locked onto your fingers for life is quirky and sentimental.

5 – Proud Parents

We’re not talking about the typical professional group shots of the wedding party – getting a few photos of proud parents helping their daughter or son prepare for such a special occasion are moments definitely worth capturing.

Unique Wedding Bomboniere Ideas

If you’ve been on the hunt for ways to make your wedding unique, out of the box bomboniere (wedding favours) can make all the difference. In this video, Nerissa from TwoHeartBirds discusses ideas for bonbonniere that will make your wedding both unique and memorable.

In one example, the bonbonniere was specially designed mint tins that had bride and groom designs on them and the phrase ‘mint to be’. Inside were tiny love heart shaped mints for guests to take home, enjoy, and keep as a fun memory of the day they shared with the newlyweds.

Nerissa then goes on to suggest that food is a great idea. Your guests will love getting to their seats at the reception to find a nicely wrapped little bag of chocolates, locally-sourced olive oil or other delicacy that they can take home.

For the ladies, soy candles or soaps make excellent bonboniere ideas, especially ones that have the same scent as the bridal flowers. Another unique idea is lovebird salt and pepper shakers that your guests can take home as a sentimental keepsake.

On the more fun side, you can buy lotto tickets and slip them onto placemats for guests to scratch off and enjoy the excitement straight away.

What to Look for in a Wedding Photographer

Aside from gifts, photographs are one of the most important items you’ll have left over from your wedding day. Because of their importance, you’ll want to be sure that the wedding photographer you hire for your big day is a good one, or else the memories you treasure may not look quite the same in photos.

When hiring a wedding photographer, there are plenty of things to consider. Every photographer has a unique style they shoot in, from classic portrait shots to natural candid ones. Once you’ve decided what kind of style you’re after, it’s time to hit the review sites and check out what other people have had to say about potential photographers. This can help you weed out unsuitable photographers quickly and efficiently.

Once you’ve rounded up potential photographers and you’ve seen and liked their work, it’s time to contact them and arrange a face to face interview. Check first if they are free on your date, then meet and discuss what you envision from your photos.

Be prepared to answer questions about the venue and other details. If you find that your personalities match up well and you like the photographer, you can begin to negotiate fees, rights and other aspects of their wedding photography services.

Remember that choosing a great photographer is something you won’t regret, so it’s worth putting in the extra time and effort.

How Corporate Events Improve Office Morale

Morale is a crucial aspect of getting good work out of your employees, as the less morale they have, the more you’ll notice the quality of their work start to slump. This isn’t necessarily because the employees are attempting to work any less hard; it’s a natural side effect of reduced morale.

So how can you remedy it? One effective way to improve office morale is to organise a corporate event where your staff can have fun and bond together as a team. Having social interaction between employees can vastly improve relations and subsequent morale in the office, so planning a social event where people can relax, get together and have some fun can make a marked difference.

Events like adventure away days which encourage staff to engage in teamwork – or even simple events like picnics with football games – can bring a sense of camaraderie that will strengthen the team’s relationship and improve relationships between staff.

When employees get on better, they become more enthusiastic about coming to work, and when they’re in a better mood their productivity levels receive an impressive boost. Being able to talk to other team members can also offer excellent motivation as employees compare their workloads and efficiency.

Employees also respond well to being shown they are appreciated – large scale corporate events such as dinners with dancing and entertainment will go a long way in showing your employees that the company values them.
