How long should it take to plan a 50th Anniversary Party?

Question

This is a celebration of a women's organization that has been in the area for 50 years and there is a lot of controversy over the amount of time needed to plan a sophisticated event.

Answer 1

about 50 years

Answer 2

Ahh, for an organization, I would say the planning should have begun a year ago if this is currently its 50th year, soe the celebration could have taken place on the date of its inception.

Standardly - 6 months to a year, depending on size of the event, etc. In fact, the first few weeks should be spend on determining size, theme, budget, how upscale it should be, etc. Then many services like catering, bands, cakes, clothing, decor, etc require about a 6 moth notice before they will contract to do your event.

The real work will be in the last two months however. Sending of the invites, recieving the RSVPS, finalizing menus, venue, etc and checking on all the final details will continue up until the event itself starts.

Answer 3

Well, all depends how many people you are inviting. And consider if you choose a restaurant, which is already decorated, they serve the dinner and bring the music, then you don't need much time. But, if you're renting a room, you need to rent chairs and tables, hire a dj or musician, contract a food cattering, bartenders and waitress, and finally a decorator. And remember after the event you have to return all the rented stuff and clean the room... I guess that will take as long as it takes to plan a wedding. It feels faster to hire an event coordinator.

Answer 4

1st. agenda! 2.nd what is wanted. 3rd organise , who & whom does what,appoint coordinator of event. then sort out Hall, date time/ type of food arrangement. the, serious side first, is always the best. E,G: whom is best at organise the food part let that person do that raffle/lucky door prize is to be concidered too in short find everybodys best point and let them form the party committee, with an assistant of course, bi tof lateral thinking and all can pull together

Answer 5

I'd say between 6-18 months, depending on where you want and need to book the place.
The sooner you book it the better.

Answer 6

you need 1year and a half in advance
then 6 months prior to the celebration,you had to had already everything coordinated
3months verify everything is going according to plan
2months-invitations and all related to it should be on its way
1month-check everything again
1week-you start to get panic ,how is going to come out,(its normal)
day zero-enjoy and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
