Party Planning Secrets: The Ultimate Guide To A Successful Party - Chapter 33, pages, 182, & 183.

Volunteers – Making The Most Of Them -
Part 2

Friends who have volunteered to assist at the party, can help you organize your party, lend and/or gather borrow-ed equipment, be there when the rental truck arrives, andso on. Here’s how to make the most of them.

Ask for help! Here are a few reasons we say we don’t need help:

1. We don’t want our guests to feel as though they’re “singing for their supper.” Asking a guest to help with one small task can make a big difference, so don’t be shy — ask!

2. We want everyone to think of us as Supermen and Superwomen who can put together a party for a hundred guests without any help at all.

3. We’re sometimes afraid that when a friend asks if he or she can help, the guest is only doing so because it’s an obligation rather than a sincere desire to be of assistance.

Here’s what happens when you just say YES:

1. You get much-needed assistance.

2. Your guests get the pride of knowing they’ve helped you put together a great event.

3. Everyone who comes to the party enjoys how seam- lessly and smoothly everything runs.

On Friday, June 18th, the prestigious Bel-Air Magazine Launch Party, was the place to be! I had the pleasure, and honor to be the producer of this incredible event, benefiting the Children's Hospital, Los Angeles. The party was a spectacular success! Bel-Air Magazine is something you really want to get your hands on. This glossy work of art, is packed with design, film, fashion, entertaining, and so much more. Over 700 VIP guests packed one the most spectacular homes in the world, to celebrate the release of this gorgeous magazine. It was glitz, and glamour as far as the eye can see. Click on the image below, to watch a short video that I put together from that wonderful event!
