We put in so much work into planning events so, of course, we want them to be memorable and fun. It can be a stressful experience thinking of different ideas to impress your guests and what best methods you should go by. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a formal wedding, here are six ways to make your event stand out from the rest while leaving a great and lasting impression.
Have a Curated and Diverse Menu
The quality and type of food is important when it comes to making your event memorable. In reality, food is the reason why most guests attend, so ensure that you invest in a lot of time and thought when it comes to curating the menu. Consult with your caterer to come up with unique and creative ideas to present fresh, high quality food. You also want to ensure that you have a wide range of variety and options to suit vegetarians and other dietary restrictions. Having high-quality and delicious food will help you make your event memorable. Having professional caterers can make or break your event, especially on big occasions like weddings.
Have a Unique and Fun Photobooth
Social media has become extremely popular these days, especially platforms like Instagram. It is one of the top visually enticing apps out there and is a great way for your guests to be more interactive at your event. Having a themed photo booth with fun props so your guests can take pictures and post them on their stories is a great way to get them sharing and spreading awareness of your event. You can even create a hashtag for your guests to use when sharing their photos. It’s also very simple to set up. All you need is a small space with different backgrounds and fun props, and your guests will be laughing and having a great time while sharing their fun photos online.
Have a Live Stream on Instagram or Facebook
Live streaming is a popular way to get people to tune in and see what’s happening at your event. It’s a great way to create buzz around your event and have people more involved. Live streaming on platforms like Instagram and Facebook can draw more attention to your event and create excitement. You can host contests or put out little teasers to interest people about what you’re doing. Live streaming has become popular and useful for business functions, and it’s an effective part of marketing plans.
Create a Grand Entrance
People love to get dressed up and enjoy an elegant night out. The entrance is the first thing your guests see, so setting up a grand entrance will ensure that their first impression is a great one. Having a dressed-up entrance is important and will give your guests a feeling of luxury and style. Some entrance ideas can include red carpets, flower arcs, and balloon archways. Having unique lighting and spotlights can give your entrance a Hollywood feel. You can even have photographers at the entrance to take pictures for guests as they come in to provide them with a feeling of importance. Another idea is to have ambient music in the background to set the specific type of mood of your event. Having slow jazz or classical music can definitely add to the entrance of your event and make it a night to remember.
Incorporate Art
You want guests to talk about your event and to do this you can include some impressive and thought-provoking art pieces. After all, having people gushing about your event is an excellent indicator of success. You can have ice sculptures, live models, or even hire an artist to perform live to pique the interests of your guests and keep them entertained.
Gift Bags
Having a little something for your guests to take home will definitely leave a lasting and memorable impression. It can be something as simple as a card or small souvenir that has a personal touch, like the date of the event, so your guests will always think of your event any time they look at it.
