I currently also have a couple of websites in the party planning niche where I also write about all aspects of hosting parties. Anything from food/menu, decorations, themes, buffet table set up, gifts and more can be found on Squidoo as well as my sites.
I want to formally invite you to start writing with me! If you have ever held or helped with planning a party or any sort, you qualify. That means 99.9% of us are qualified. Sharing your ideas, suggestions and experiences with others from all over the globe via the internet will help us all when it comes to hosting our next party or event.
It's not hard, I promise. In fact, I think you'll have fun! You don't have to be a journalist, English major or have any other requirements. All you do need is to love helping others and sharing your experiences.
DebW07 did that here in her review of a party planning book: Top Tips for Planning a Memorable Party.
Parties Fill Our Lives
All of our lives are filled with occasions that can be, and often are, celebrated with parties and get-togethers. Occasions like:- Baby Showers
- Bridal Showers
- Graduations
- Holidays
- Birthdays
- Anniversaries
- Promotions
- Retirements
- Engagements
- Weddings
- Reunions (family and school)
- Proms & School Event
Sharing what worked, what didn't -- menu ideas -- diy decorating ideas & projects -- best sources for invitations, decor, gifts -- and lots more -- will only help the next time we plan a party.
Start Writing and Helping Others
If you are interested in helping me out, join Squidoo. It's a FREE platform where you can write about your experiences and share your advice. You can even earn a little money by featuring products you used to make the party picture perfect! What are you waiting for?If you are charged up and want to get started right away -- here are a couple of ideas for you. You can review a party planning book you own or have read from this list or, if you have a favorite 3 tiered serving stand you use at all parties, choose it from this list.
So, start going through those picture albums of cousin Cindy's wedding reception, your sorority sister's baby shower, and little Lucy's 1st birthday party. If you helped plan and execute those events, you can help others with your experiences.
I have planned and hosted tons of parties, showers, dinners, receptions, teas, and even a few festivals over the years. One wouldn't think there would be much I hadn't personally experienced or done myself for a party, but I will be the first to admit, you have taught me a lot of new things, provided tons of new ideas and suggestions and solved several buffet dilemmas for me. I am pretty excited to see all that you and your fellow writers share. I'm game, let's party!
ReplyDeleteOh, and yes, I did have a wonderful wedding reception!
LOL -- Glad to know your reception was wonderful, but I expected nothing less!! Thanks for the kind words and I only hope we can continue to give you new ideas when you host a party!
ReplyDeleteI love to entertain guests and your ideas are wonderful. I will look forward to all of your great ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger with a family, I did family gatherings and barbecues, but never fancy parties and for those I would not have a clue. One of these days I'll open my reclusive home by the beach to a big bash and will definitely need you to be my party planner!
