10 Tips for Your Birthday, Bridal or Baby Shower: by Celebrity Event Stylist Xavia McCollum
- Create a guest list and set a budget, then select a venue that is the right fit.
- Choose a theme and color scheme, and draw on it for invitations and event décor all the way through thank you notes.
- If friends or family offer to help, set boundaries and be clear (and kind) about what is helpful. Assign duties and a timeline.
- Favors can be fun, especially if you get creative. Plan ahead to order or make memorable ones.
- Consider hiring a professional to alleviate stress and let you enjoy your special day. You will save time and may even end up saving money because of efficiencies.
- Plan activities or entertainment that are age appropriate (for children, make sure you have adequate help to supervise).
- Gather guests’ special dietary needs in advance and plan accordingly.
- Music can make or break an event, whether it’s live or pre-recorded. Choose a playlist and volume that’s right for the occasion. Test it before your special day.
- If gifts will be opened, plan ahead for someone to record gifts and givers.
- Allow plenty of personal time to get dressed and arrive to greet guests so you can look great, have fun and enjoy the fruits of your planning!
