Planning Your Event

1. Decide what type of event you want.

Will it be a banquet, reception, or a coffee break? Will your guests stand or be seated? Will it be formal, casual, or "in between"? What are your budget limitations? While not every decision needs to be finalized at this point, the more you decide now, the easier your planning will be.
