How To Make Thank You Cards More Delightful
Thank you cards are important in any party. Some hosts forget to send these out, especially when things get too busy after the party. But sending out thank you cards is a gesture you should never forget as a party planner. It’s also one of the few extras that you can use to turn the tide in your favor when you’re bidding for a large-scale party booking.
So, how can you make a thank you card more memorable and delightful? Here are a few ways.
Use Photos
Photos of the bride and groom, or of the baby that had his or her first birthday are extremely important and memorable. Any thank you card with these elements will instantly become more heartwarming.
Send Keepsakes
Keepsakes like something made out of toho beads are lightweight and can fit inside the envelope of the thank you card. You can personalize the beads according to the name or color preferences of the receiver.
Thank you cards have always been written off as an extra expense that people could do without. But I disagree. Thank you cards are as important as the invitations, and they play a significant role in the party experience of the guest.
Songwriting Can Be a Great Hobby for a Party Planner
I just remembered an Asian drama involving a rock band made of twenty-something women and how they made it big in the rock scene. It brought out the rocker and me and wondered how many of the world’s music divas actually dream with music.
If you are a songwriting music diva, you probably know about boss gt 6 and other toys for musicians to play with. These toys are not merely there for show, they actually help divas who love music compose songs.
Composing to some of us is all about the lyrics, but the reality is that the beat, the arrangement and the tempo of the song are the most important elements of all. In fact, I learned that making music starts with the instruments and ends with the lyrics. The lyrics are supposed to be dramatic, but they are made even more so if the beat and all the other elements are awesome.
Fast Track Exercising for the Busy Party Planner
While running errands for various party functions can be exercise in itself, it doesn’t hurt to take time off to hit the gym to release stress and to tone your body. After all, as Elle Woods would say, endorphins from exercise make people happy, and happy people wouldn’t do bad things. Exercise does help you in a way. At the very least, you can shed the fat you accumulated when there are food tasting events set up by different caterers.
But exercising an hour a day in a faraway fitness center can eat up your time. You need to balance everything, so you should have a way to exercise in your own home. For this, you need tools.
Yoga Mat – Learning yoga on your own is a breeze with the many DVD tutorials around. You will need a mat to start with. Once you have the tools, you can move on to other accessories like thera band for better resistance during your exercise, and some other gym equipment.
Exercise Ball – You know those big bouncing balls that you can find in any gym? Those are there for a purpose. Simply sitting on the ball and bouncing up and down can tone your leg muscles. Spend a few minutes experimenting with your exercise ball until you find an exercise routine you can do comfortably in between party planning projects.
A Treadmill – If you can’t run around outside because it’s snowing or raining, you can do the running in your own living room! A treadmill is a staple as far as your home gym is concerned. You can do a lot of de-stressing while brisk walking on your treadmill.
The Use of Systems in Your Business
When you’re running a business, you expect everything to flow flawlessly. You’re on top of things, and all the details are panned out according to your specifications. But you cannot do it alone. Sure you have workers willing to give you that extra leverage you need, but it’s still not enough. What can you do?
Trust several systems.
Systems can be anything that makes work easier. Like a hydraulic power unit works for big industries, small systems that work well can be your lifesaver even if you’re a small-time party planner. Maybe it’s the call forwarding service you use to direct call-in orders to your cellphone. Maybe it’s the printer that you depend on to create your colored fliers for you. Maybe it’s the catering service you call in when you can’t cater a huge party by yourself. Whatever a system is, you should trust that it will work properly.
Many systems work for you, while some may be too complicated to deal with. However, if your business is complicated enough, you should get the simplest systems to deal with mundane things. Automated systems work best, especially if you keep on multi-tasking every single day.
