It is very important that we take care of the environment because our resources are dwindling. People are slowly but surely starting to take heed and change their lifestyles in order to “go green,” however,  many people feel that it is a burden to be environmentally friendly so here are some easy and quick ways to green your next event!

PRIOR TO THE EVENT:

Invitations

• Virtual invitations sent by e-mail or through social networking Web sites are easy and quick, in addition to being more inexpensive than using paper.
• If you do decide to print your invitations, select recycled paper. If you want to go the extra mile, print your invitations using a vegetable or soy-based ink printer.

Registration

Before choosing a photographer for any occasion you must be sure that you like the person and his work. You can have an outside opinion from a third person about the photographer. This may help you find the right photographer. Here are 7 simple questions that you can ask your photographer to judge their qualities:

1. Are you the person who will take the photographs? If not, then may I meet the person who would take our photographs? – This question is a must as you must know the person who would actually take your photograph. A third person can never convey your message as well as when you speak to him directly.
2. What is your style? – Every person should know about the style of the photographer. A photographer can be a photojournalistic or a traditional one. The type of photographer you want to choose will depend on the type of occasion you want to get clicked.
3. How long have you been shooting? Which are the occasions you have shot for previously? – Knowing about the background history or work experience of the photographer would let you know if he is ideal for your occasion. Read the rest of this entry »

In the previous blog, I mentioned three ways to decide who to invite to your event. Here are two additional factors to think about when deciding.

4. Only invite people you like. For example, you invite your best friend to your event and she wants to bring a friend of hers that you don’t event know. Avoid letting her do this. It’s important that your event is filled with people you know and like, not strangers.

5. Avoid conflict pairs. This is anyone who do not get along with each other for whatever reason. No matter how much you ask, they will not stop fighting. Inviting a conflict pair to your event will cause tension in the room. Read the rest of this entry »

Do you have a long list of friends and don’t know who to invite to your event? Here are five ways to narrow down your list:

1. Find out how many people you can invite. This is an essential factor to consider when deciding who your guests will be. Always think about the activities and theme of the party, when choosing a specific group size. Also, remember that a long party works better with fewer people. By having fewer people, you can avoid drama at the event. In addition, consider the size of your party space, and how many people you’ll actually need to get the party to run efficiently.

2. Decide if it will be male/female oriented. Many women tend to have parties along with other women; completely eliminating men altogether and sometimes men do the same thing. This is a crucial thing to think about when choosing your guests. Read the rest of this entry »
