This although is a superb idea, can sometimes make the task even more daunting.
The best way to start is to choose the top three most important items when it comes to planning your event:
Date
Location/Venue
Theme/Colour Scheme
The above might seem incredibly obvious now, but when you are stressed and listing those items in your event notebook or spreadsheet, these might be somewhere in the middle. A lot of times, people start with the guest list first, or the food they want catered.
Why are these the top three (in my mind anyways)?
The Date
The Date gives you and your guests a timeline, think of it as your deadline, something to strive towards and give yourself little due dates in between for.
The Location
The location/venue marks the start of your planning, for example the number of guests you invite, and usually the venue offers its own services, like: decorations, catering, technical support, staff and sometimes they even give recommendations for DJs and other items you would not have even thought of.
The Theme/Colour
The theme/colour scheme is the start of the creative idea flow, and is probably the most fun, once you have decided on a theme the possibilities are endless.
So take out your notebook and start planning.
