When you’re hosting an event, whether it’s your first time or the 50th extravagance you’ve planned, you always want to ensure that it is a memorable occasion. Guests should arrive in awe and leave talking and chattering about the spectacle of your event for weeks to come. But knowing how to make your event unique and a true showstopper can be difficult. However, fear not, because we have put together our top tips you need to know when hosting an event. Whether you’re hosting a private event or a huge public display, we are sure our top tips will help you make an impression on all audiences and guests.
Make a Showstopping Display
Of course, our top tip for hosting an incredible event is to create a display larger than life that will instantly get your guests talking. As soon as they enter the venue, their eyes should be drawn to a specific centrepiece that invites them further inside. And what better way to create a party that is out of this world, than to bring huge inflatable planets right to your guests?
Hung from the ceiling or creating an amazing backdrop, inflatable planets will transport your guests to a whole other universe, where they will believe that anything is possible. Isn’t that the impression you want to leave your guests with?
Inflatable planets if just one idea for how you can create a showstopping display when really creativity knows no bounds and your event can be exactly what you make it. Plus, if you’re planning a business event or fundraising campaign, you can easily embed your message, details or logo on the display for a way to draw guests’ attention to your business or sponsor without disrupting the theme of the party.
Get People Involved
Another key tip to making your event a success is to get your guests involved, as any elements of participation are sure to leave a lasting memory. If you’re striving for a party vibe, pass inflatables across the crowd for people to play with and throw back and forth. This is an excellent way as well to again get guests more involved with your brand message by displaying them subtly in props to match the event theme.
Other ways to get your guests involved could be to make them feel as though they are truly a part of the event and what it shapes to be. Why not have a large display wall where guests can sign their name or leave little doodles inspired by the event? This will take the place of a guest book in which guests can let their creative side out and add to the already impressive display we suggested in our first tip. Another variation of this could be displaying a massive paint by number artwork, any guest who wants to be involved could be assigned a few squares and given the appropriate colour to fill in their own segment. At the end of the event, a bold and bright mural will be left in support of the event in which guests can know they were a part of the finished product.
Open the Conversation
Finally, we believe that the key to any successful event is getting people talking about it, and this includes before, during and after the event. What better way to do this than taking advantage of social media and spreading the word? This also ties in with our previous tips, as both of these ideas are excellent motivators to getting people online, tagging and sharing pictures from the event. Make it even easier to track the content and encourage more people to get involved by creating special hashtags for the event, or why not get even more creative with custom filters and geo-locations? A combination of all of our advice will be a sure way to get guests involved and spreading your event with ease, so why not take your favourite aspects and combine them to make sure your event hits every goal you set?
