With the summer event season in full swing, we’ve curated five of the best reads in the industry.  From the always important swag to social media promotions, we’ve got something for everyone here, and we close with a little wardrobe guidance for professional event planners.  What more could you ask for?

Up to Date Ideas for Swag

It’s a fact, everyone thinks about swag when they think of conferences or events.  It’s important to attendees, and if it’s important to them, it’s important to event planners.
Author Ronnie Higgins says:

Like speakers and sponsors, the contents of your event swag bag can say a lot about who you are and what your brand represents. If you hope your event will be memorable, carefully consider what you’re giving attendees.

New Ideas for Show and Event Swag

Promoting Your Event with Social Media: Do It Right!

There’s not a professional event planner out there who doesn’t already know about social media and how important it is to event promotion.  But with anything changing as fast as social media, you need to stay constantly up-to-date.
Event Manager Dan McCarthy of Ultimate Experience thinks:

Social media is not just about getting butts on the seats. It should also be used to generate engagement during the event. Strategically place a few social media walls where people tend to cluster. Encourage attendees to share their own thoughts and submit selfies while the event is in progress.

Branding Your Event: Details Matter

Marketing professionals know how critical branding is. Are you putting enough emphasis into branding your event?
Writing this blog as well, Mr. Higgins urges you to:

Think about your content as your brand. Attendees don’t register for your event because it stands for something. When it comes down to it, they show up to hear speakers talk about topics that interest them. Kat suggests making sure your event agenda is not only front and center on your event website, but available in formats that can be easily digested. That means offering a printable PDF attendees can bring to their boss to get buy-in to attend.

Details Matter in Branding Your Event

Improve On-Site Logistics, Reduce Your Pre-Event Anxiety

Logistics can make the difference between event success and failure.
They’re pretty much an event planner’s life.  It’s really as simple as that.  And, when you know that all the logistics are taken care of, it takes stress off and lets you focus on making the rest of the event perfect.

Tracy Kosolcharoen, writing in the Eventbrite Blog, advises that:

If you’ve ever had pre-event anxiety, you know it’s often due to uncertainty over the unexpected. From traffic jams to electrical issues, anticipating problems will help you avoid them.

Improve On-Site Logistics; Lower Your Stress

Presenting Yourself–Dressing for Success in the Event Industry

Looking the part is important in any role, and event planners are no exception.  Here are pointers for dressing the part.

Author Holly Barker is a digital native with a passion to help shape events and brands through storytelling, creativity and digital magic. She has over 10 years of experience consisting of social media marketing, events and promotional management, digital marketing, and brand development.

Everyone knows that they should wear comfortable clothing.  But are there some additional things you should do?  Of course, says Holly.
Her advice is:

Dressing for success as an event planner can be challenging. Long, active work days need you to keep moving quickly, and always be prepared for the unexpected! You need to have your essential go-to outfits that are made for comfort and convenience.

We know that the season is keeping you busy.  Don’t forget how important the details are: good promotion, great giveaways, and a clean, comfortable “place to go”.

When searching for my ideal wedding venue, I visited all the typical “Best Wedding Venues” within a couple of hours from Portland. The options and amenities varied depending on whether I was looking at a hotel ballroom or a local community grange. For me, it was a bit overwhelming putting a sizable chunk of my budget into the space – because I still needed furniture, lights, flowers, food, the works! In a moment of budgetary panic and an impending schedule, we chose our friends backyard over a swanky “all inclusive” venue. It may have been a bit more work, but it turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined!
My “dream wedding venue” was created in a place meant for casual BBQ’s and birthday parties in my childhood. With these tricks and tips below you can transform any “casual space” across the board including empty industrial buildings, oversized parking lots, an open field on a farm, a state or city park, historic building, sandy beaches, in the grape vines of a vineyard, or among the trees of an orchard; you can go anywhere!
Here are a few of the obvious and not so obvious necessities for planning an event “off the beaten path!”

Lighting

Event rental companies have most anything your heart desires to set the mood; string lights, chandeliers, spot lights, up lighting, marquee letters, lanterns, candles and more. Lighting is one of the major ways to transform a space and create the ambiance your party craves. But don’t forget, if you bring in a device that needs to be plugged in – you’ll need somewhere to plug it!

Lighting is single-handedly the most important design element in any room, any concept, and any event.

Restrooms

Yes, restrooms! If you’re inviting 100+ guests to a historic building, a farm house out in the country, or a ceremony among the vines of the vineyard, you may find yourself in need of restrooms that meet the same standards and design detail as the rest of your reception. Our friends were super gracious in letting us use their backyard as our venue but they weren’t interested in 200+ people traipsing through their house using their restrooms. Luxury restroom trailers have solved the porta potty dilemma with elegance for any black tie event. Heating, air conditioning, sound system, crown molding, and custom cabinetry are incredible innovations for outdoor restrooms – they are like a party zone all to themselves!

Boutique luxury restroom rentals are an essential piece to any upscale event. Treat yourself and your guests!

Electricity

Many of your vendors will need electricity in some capacity. Whether it’s the DJ, the caterers, the lighting, or extras such as a fun photo booth or luxury bathrooms, your vendors will need power. Often, they can each provide their own power when arranged in advance. If that option is not available, you can also check out your local event rental company or even your local hardware store for the best weekend deals!

It’s important that you always calculate what [power is] needed, then make sure there’s twice as much power available as required.

Tents

Tents have become an art form. The options available are incredible and can transform anything; a parking lot downtown, a backyard, field, farm, garden, ANYWHERE! Tents define a space. Want an extra tall multi-point tent draped in silk, a clear tent that allows you to see the stars once the sun goes down, hanging chandeliers, or up-lighting behind the drapes that puddle to the floor – all of those options exist!

You can’t describe it but it’s so dreamy under the clear tent, everyone lit by candlelight, everything just glows — pure bliss.

For more on tents http://junebugweddings.com/wedding-blog/haiku-mill-wedding-maui-definition-enchanting/

Furniture

Overstuffed sofas and lounge furniture pieces have become an amazing alternative to the structured grid layout of linen draped tables. But no matter the direction you choose with seating, additional accents such as faux boxwood walls with room for marquee letters, mobile bars, or focal point pieces such as linen lined event tents. Whether you are focusing on lots of little accents or a couple of large focal points, the whimsical touches certainly define your aesthetic and help shape the party atmosphere when your guests arrive.

Create an area where guests can kick back and relax using colorful rental lounge furniture.

Linens and Lace

Whether you are already in a gorgeous space or have some sprucing up to do – linens are an absolutely stunning additive! Looking for a bohemian woodland feel? Lace drapes hanging from trees sets a whimsical scene. Hoping for a luxury feel? Pleated silk lined tents are gorgeous! Whether your linens are hanging from the ceiling in exposed rafter, draping the entrance to your venue, billowing curtains at the sides of a tent, or framing the alter; pipe and drape companies have you covered and will blow your mind with the finished product!

Chic or romantic, rustic or organic, there’s a textile choice to suit your style.

Floral Masterpieces

I was not big on flowers for my wedding – now that I have put in the research – I have definitely changed my tune. An entire wall covered in rose buds? Beautiful! An arch of flowers and greenery garland hanging from a tree swing or constructed alter? Absolutely spectacular! Sculpted flower arrangements are here to stay. You don’t have to go overboard with small flower bouquets here and there – you can go big with one or two pieces and have an impact none of your guests will expect!

I strive to feature unique and personal weddings that choose to hew close to the heart rather than to the latest trends, as well as gorgeous and innovative style and inspiration!

With all those wonderful summer events in front of us, our May Event Planning Roundup focuses on some of the “little” things that will make your event a hit with attendees and your boss as well.  In this post, we’ll share some technology that’s making inroads into events, great ideas for putting a personal touch to your gala, and some new thoughts on the all-important SWAG.

Adding A “Personal Touch” to Your Event

Many of the attendees at your next event probably attend several a year.  So just how do you make your event stand out for them and make them want to return?  Author Deborah Pannell, writing in Techsytalk, suggests adding some personal touches—like personal introductions—saying:

The more your attendees connect with one another, the better. Here’s how you can help ensure that the right people meet one another…
When people arrive, be prepared to introduce them to folks who may be of interest to them. Not only will this be a great icebreaker for people who might not otherwise speak to one another, but you’ll be stimulating conversations that have more of a potential to lead to actual relationships.

Ms. Pannell also says you should carefully consider dietary issues and make sure restrooms are stocked with hospitality supplies.  But we can assure you that when you rent a luxury restroom trailer from us, that’s already taken care of.

Just one less thing for you to worry about.

Promote Your Event With Facebook Official Events

Everyone knows Facebook is one of the most popular and fastest growing social media networks, and most event planning professionals already make good use of it to promote their events.  But did you know there’s a feature called Facebook Official Events that get your message even further out there?

Although not straightforward at all, this feature might just be worth the effort says Eventbrite columnist Keiko Tokuda, noting that:

Facebook Official Events can only be created through a custom Facebook integration…

Tokuda says that “…information like event date, time, venue, and a link to buy tickets, [can be] sent directly from the ticketing partner to Facebook.”  And, as a result,

…Facebook Official Events may be more likely to show up on search and News Feed recommendations where people are spending most of their time. This means your event can get in front of more people, and help you boost your event registration.

Plus, using Facebook’s analytics, you can easily see how the event page is performing.

Avoid These 11 Common Speaker Failures

A great speaker can make the event; a failure in that area can spell event planning disaster—plain and simple. For sure, every planner who’s been in the business long has a few horror stories.
Writing for Event Manager Blog, Christina Green notes that “…demands on speakers are greater than ever…”, adding that:

The requirements have switched from a one-way content presenter to a much more dynamic role of thought leader and discussion instigator. If you aren’t connecting with your audience, you’re failing them.

Ms. Green presents eleven of the most common problems with speakers and makes great suggestions on what you can do to avoid them.

6 Great Ideas for Swag To Keep Them Coming Back

Every professional in event planning knows that swag is much more important than anyone wants to admit it is.  And some say good swag can make the difference between attending and deciding to skip next year’s event.

Writing for the MeetingsNet blog, guest columnist Neen James, notes that since she gets to “…have the privilege of speaking at some of the coolest events around the globe”, she gets to see the lengths some planners go to in order to please their guests.

Something as simple as “the meeting planner handed us a $1 bill as we stepped out of the taxi to give to our bellman. They had thought of every little detail!”, goes a long way.  James notes that, among other things, you need to:

Satisfy the senses… …Fresh flowers and candles appeal to the olfactory learner (those who remember through smell, but be sure to also provide scent-free zones for the allergic); flowers and colored linens appeal to the visual guests; linens and touchable fixtures appeal to the kinesthetic (those who are tactile and enjoy a sense of touch).

Consider Using Snapchat for Your Next Event

With the video sharing platform Snapchat growing by leaps and bounds, it’s finally becoming something to consider for event planning.  And if you look at its user demographics, should your event cater to the 35-and-under crowd, you should seriously think about it.

Although author Sue Pelletier admits that “I haven’t felt compelled to play around much with image messaging app Snapchat as a social channel for meetings and events…”, she’s found six reasons why it just might work for your event.

Noting that:

more than 60 percent of 13–34-year-old smartphone users use Snapchat

And that:

with 10B snaps a day… …it’s now overtaking Facebook in the video wars…

Pelletier also thinks that the Snapchat Live Stories feature is great because it lets event planners create a community around an event that attendees can easily contribute to.

6 Reasons Why You Should Use Snapchat to Power up Your Event

Summer is a busy time for event planning, especially for corporate events.  Our takeaway from these stories is that the little things can help make your event a huge success and make your attendees want to come back next year.

We’re proud to provide the Northwest’s finest luxury restroom trailers, including ADA-compliant models and the area’s only 8-stall model.  Serving customers from Portland to Seattle and everywhere in between, your friends at Luxury Restroom Trailers are ready to help with your next event.  Give us a call today.

Wedding costs are skyrocketing: the national average is $26,444—that may seem like the cost of a new hybrid vehicle, but there are often a lot of items on the “Wish List” (or Pinterest Board) and those wishes and pins add up quickly!

To make life a little easier, we’ve created a cheat sheet of the top 7 ways to help you create your dream wedding without breaking the bank.

Weddings range from the “sky is the limit” high end events to the more budget-friendly trip to the court house window for a quick exchange of “I do’s.” However, most weddings fall somewhere in between and it can be a figurative maze trying to navigate what best fits your taste, your style, and often most importantly, your budget!

1. Your Wedding Dress – SAVE!!

In terms of wedding costs, what you pay for your dress can be all over the map.

When I was shopping for my wedding dress, I wanted something classic and beautiful. But mostly, I wanted a dress I wouldn’t look back on in 20 years and say “What was I thinking?!”

After searching the internet high and low for the styles I liked, the true test came when I went to an actual gown shop (don’t forget to make an appointment – most shops are by appointment only!). I tried on “all the latest styles” and found many were built for a woman with a passion for Pilates and coming in at about a foot taller than myself. With disappointment on the horizon, I perused the sale rack as a last ditch effort with my mom coaxing me to try on a dress I knew I wouldn’t like. Once on, I saw it had all the beading I wanted, the lace, the vintage feel was everywhere.

But it was about 4 sizes too big, way too long, and had a halter top which was a little less than flattering. We spoke to the Alterations Queen and after addressing some of my concerns, she said a revamp would be no problem. She was able to cut the straps of the halter top, turn the straight neckline into a sweetheart neckline, she removed some of the length from the lace skirt to help it fit my frame and made cap sleeves from the extra lace. After all was said and done, it looked like a completely different dress. But the best part was the final sale of the dress: $495 INCLUDING the alterations. It is incredible what you can do with a talented seamstress and a great imagination.

2. The Wedding Venue – SAVE!!

Do you or someone in your close family & friends have an amazing piece of property? Put it to use! With venue rentals ranging from $1500 to over $15000 and sometimes being the highest of all the wedding costs, this is an amazing budget saver for any wedding.
We held our wedding in a friend’s over-sized backyard. After stringing up party lights across the dance floor, hanging battery operated chandeliers from the trees, and the white linen tables for the guests, the space was breath taking and a bit of a step up from the classic BBQ’s the backyard had seen in the past. And with all the blooming nature surrounding us, we were able to save HUGE on the florist budget!

3. Wedding Restrooms – SPLURGE!!

This is typically the last item on anyone’s radar. Everyone needs to use the restroom at some point and if you are in a friend’s backyard they may not want anyone coming in and out of their house—or worse, they could be on septic (if it’s a big rural space, chances are it will be on a septic system)—which really puts a kink in the bathroom works. Plan ahead and bring in extra restrooms.

People—for the most part—will sort of remember your dress, they will recall pieces of the ceremony, they’re likely to remember the meal, and they will absolutely remember if they had to use a port-a-potty or not. Skip the port-a-potty!! Do not let your dream wedding be brought down by a trip to the blue plastic box.

At Luxury Restroom Trailers, we have forever solved the dreaded port-a-potty adventure for a black tie event. With heating, air conditioning, sound system, dimming lights, full vanity, faux hardwood flooring, this will not only be a hit with all the guests, it becomes a party destination in itself. Instead of whispers of, “Ew, have you seen the bathrooms?” you will hear exclamations of “Have you seen the bathrooms yet? You have to go now – they are amazing!”

4. Your Guest List – SPLURGE!!

Always splurge on the guest list! Sure, it will add to the wedding costs, but you never know when those second cousins from Texas are actually going to show, and you want to make sure you invite the old friends from high school, plus the new friends from work.  And the last thing you want is worrying about how so-and-so didn’t get an invitation.

This day is supposed to be a celebration of your love and commitment, and you want the ones that helped you get to this place with you while you celebrate. My mother’s side of the immediate family has over 65 individuals including her brothers and sisters, their husbands and wives, and their children…And that doesn’t include my husband’s side of the family or any of our friends…Insane! So, saving in other ways was very important to us, so we could have all the guests there that we wanted.

5. Catering for the Wedding – SAVE!!

Every great party needs incredible food! What most people don’t tell you when you’re planning a wedding is that YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! It’s your party and you can plan it however you like (within in reason, of course). We planned a sit-down dinner catered by one of our favorite restaurants. If I had it to do over again, I would probably still get the same food but I would nix the sit down dinner part. With over 200 guests (aye aye aye), there were so many faces to see and talk to—some were family I had not seen in a while, and some were my best friends I just wanted to spend all my time with.
To avoid the time commitment of a sit down dinner, I would have swapped out the dinner plate for hors d’oeuvres sized portions of all the dinner choices. That way people could still get in a full meal, but the atmosphere would have been more causal, we could have walked around more and talked to all the folks we were so happy to see!

6. Your Photographer – SPLURGE!!

The wedding photos are the best source of memories from the day. Everything happens so fast, most of the time you don’t even have time to eat, let alone finding a quiet moment to take it all in.

Make sure you are comfortable with your photographer. My husband and I can be a bit awkward when the cameras come out, so having someone we were comfortable with was crucial. Every now and then we thought we were doing our “super nice wedding smile”, when in reality we looked like trolls under a bridge with some goofy grin we had never tried on before going full frame with it. It was great having someone who was able to say “…maybe try a different smile…this one isn’t quite fitting…”.

But trust me, some of the troll photos are some of my favorite! It captured the craziness of the day and were great for a laugh!
Finding Your Perfect Photographer From a Planner’s Perspective

7. The Wedding Décor – SAVE & SPLURGE

If you are crafty and have the time, you can make almost anything yourself. My mother and I kept Michael’s Craft Store in business during the lead up to our wedding and hand crafted nearly everything that wasn’t already growing in the backyard.

We had big round tables with white linens, hand-sewn burlap runners made by my mother-in-law, and handmade centerpieces with a “vintage museum” feel with glass domes containing handmade aged scrolls, mossy rocks, and battery-operated candles for a night time glow. We even put together handmade LED twig chandeliers hanging from the trees; they’re still a hit to this day on Pinterest!
We really went above and beyond in the crafty department. Here are some things I would have changed:

I would have rented more items. We purchased EVERYTHING for the centerpieces…now…five years later, I still have all of those centerpieces packed in boxes taking up valuable storage space. Décor companies have so much to offer; they are a fantastic option for renting anything from a fork to a faux boxwood wall. Check out their catalogs and see what works best for your design – Maybe buy one of two centerpieces and rent the rest – save the closet space!

Beyond just renting things, I think I would have opted for more causal seating.

Looking back on it now, I would also have chosen different furniture: rather than tables and chairs for every guest, I would have gone with a more causal lounge atmosphere featuring over-stuffed couches and alternative seating choices.  All of which would have gone perfectly with an hors d’oeuvre menu and casual conversation hamlets throughout the evening.

Your wedding is an event you and your guests will remember for a lifetime, but few us can simply afford to ignore wedding costs.  Our experience—and we’ve seen hundreds of weddings—has taught us that there places you can can save, and those where you shouldn’t.

With Spring well on its way, it’s prime season for corporate events.  Our event planning roundup for April is chock full of great information from dealing with cancellations to getting attendees jazzed about the event.  The icing on the cake is a new FaceBook feature sure to find favor with the corporate meetings set.

Tips to Cut That Food & Beverage Budget Down to Size

Although it’s traditionally one of the high ticket items for any event, food & beverage can be cut down to size with these eleven tips from the experts.  While some of the suggestions are quite obvious (like “shrink the coffee cup size”), others are not only ingenious, but also clearly the result of painful experience, while still others are counter-intuitive.

And done right, your attendees will never know you cut a few corners on the event. Author Chris Freeman with Kansas City Catering is even willing to put people’s guilt to work, recommending that you:

Use servers rather than offering hors d’oeuvres buffet-style. People tend to take only one item when served by wait staff, but help themselves to more at a buffet table. Buy enough so everyone gets three to five pieces….

But we found his suggestion of placing the water bottles and juices in ice baths the best of all.  Chris says he’s found that folks aren’t quite as willing to slip an extra into their bag when they’re dripping wet!

Eight Great Ideas for a Nature Themed Event

Outdoor events become more popular every year.  And even when your event can’t be outdoors, a nature theme can help bring it inside.  Here event planning experts share some of their best inspiration for nature-themed events.
Author Alesandra Dubin has her own way of explaining it:

The word “organic” may conjure images of rustic, down-home event details—but that’s far from the only way to interpret a nature theme. Event producers can also use materials found in the natural environment to create a sense of refinement, sophistication, and even opulence.

At a late March event, Patina Catering of Los Angeles incorporated the theme into everything from the chairs to the name tags.

Stoked When They Arrive; Happy When They Leave

Everyone in event planning wants their guests to enjoy the event—that’s what keeps them coming back.  And it’s better yet when they arrive on a high note.  The experts at Eventbrite created a two-part series to help make sure they arrive happy and leave happy.

Event professionals know there are a million things to do for a successful event.  And even the most seasoned of them tend to focus on the “big things”.  That’s not the best approach says Tricia Rosetty. In fact, she says:

Organizers often laser-focus on getting the big ticket items right—things like headliners, on sales, or merch. But we’ve found that spending a little extra time on the details can make a huge impact on your attendees’ experience.

As an example, she points to the ubiquitous entry ticket.  It’s often the first place attendees look for information on a number of event details—start time, dress code, hashtags, refund policy. Customizing the ticket with these critical details can drastically reduce any “day-of” confusion for attendees.

New Facebook Feature Finds a Home With Event Pros

Recent updates to Facebook Live, the live video streaming tool for Facebook, make it something worthy of serious consideration for event planners.  Included in the new features is live streaming from event pages, allowing organizers to target the content before, during, and after the event.

Bizbash interviewed three live-streaming experts to learn more. Joel Comm is an author and digital marketing strategist; Brian Fanzo is co-founder of BackLamp, which builds digital strategies for brands to integrate live streaming; and Ryan Bell is also co-founder of Backlamp and creator of Summit.Live, an annual event for digital creators.

Comm and Fanzo see key differences between Periscope and Facebook Live, with Comm saying:

Periscope gets these drive-by viewers because they’ve got the discoverability aspect to it. But your numbers peak early and then they tend to fall off, whereas with Facebook Live I’m seeing my numbers consistently increase the longer I’m on. That’s really powerful.

Fanzo added the powerful observation that:

With Facebook live streaming you are streaming to people that already know, like, and trust you. They’ve either liked your page, they are following your personal account, or they’re in a group or an event that you are hosting or a part of.

An Event Planner’s Nightmare: The Canceled Event

It happens sooner of later to every event planning professional: the client cancels.  No matter how much time you’ve invested or how great the event would have been, you have to move on.  Writing in Special Events Blog, event planner Jennifer Taylor makes her key point first:

Handling a canceled event requires a fine balance of safeguarding your business and understanding the reason behind the sudden change.

She suggests specific cancellation clauses in your contracts that reduce refunds the closer to the event the cancellation occurs. Another key piece of advice is to have your contract reviewed by an attorney or business coach to ensure it is ‘iron-clad’.

Her firm reviews cancellations on a case-by-case basis.  In the case of a death or medical issue, she notes that her firm is usually sympathetic.

There may still be opportunities to book the time/space with another event.
