EVENT PLANNING TIPS FROM SHANA KAY’S ELEGANT EVENTS
Planning an event? Here’s a few tips!
PLAN EARLY.
Waiting until the last minute usually means fewer options, higher prices, and unnecessary stress.
PRICE EVERYTHING YOU WANT.
Don’t just add things to your wish list because you saw them on Pinterest, TikTok, or Instagram. Find out what they actually cost and build your budget accordingly.
KNOW YOUR BUDGET BEFORE YOU BUILD YOUR VISION.
It’s okay to dream big but know what you can realistically spend and decide where you want to splurge and where you can save.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO HIRE AN EVENT PLANNER OR DECORATOR.
And that’s perfectly okay! DIY can be beautiful.
But if you decide to do it yourself, don’t let it look like you did it yourself. 😉
Your wedding, birthday, anniversary, baby shower, or special celebration shouldn’t look unfinished because you underestimated the time, cost, or work it takes to bring everything together.
BE INTENTIONAL.
Every detail doesn’t have to be expensive but it should look like it belongs.
AND REMEMBER…
Sometimes hiring a professional isn’t about spending more money. It’s about having someone who knows where to spend it, where to save it, and how to make everything come together beautifully, so you can just show up!
Plan early. Budget wisely. Execute beautifully.
