4 Ways Your Event Can Go Wrong (And How To Prevent Them)

Information may not be reliable

There is often a long list of details to consider when planning an event and trying to throw a celebration for dozens or even hundreds of guests. From the food to the favors, there are several factors that should be carefully thought out before the day arrives to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Although there are several fun parts of the event to plan, there are also a few ways that the event can go wrong and should be planned for.

1. A Lack of Seating Options:

Guests will quickly be unhappy if they have nowhere to sit during an event that you throw, even if they didn't RSVP beforehand. You should have more than enough seats to make room for extra guests that may arrive unexpectedly or bring extra guests that weren't on the invite list. Rent more chairs than the amount of people who are planning on attending, which can be obtained through local party rental companies in Los Angeles.

2. Power Outages:

One of the easiest ways to ruin a party is by having a power outage due to too many electrical outlets being used in overdrive. It can mean the dance floor going dim or the DJ not having anything to play. You can avoid the mishap by renting a generator that has enough power to provide electricity for the event without missing out on music or overhead lights.

3. Lack of Communication with a Caterer:

With all of the details that must be covered with your catering, it can be easy for certain topics to get lost in translation. Avoid any miscommunication with your caterer by clearly outlining your requests on a document and providing several copies while planning the event. Ask what items need to be rented and which ones they'll provide with their services to avoid serving dinner without forks or glassware. It will ensure that every item is provided, even if it's at an extra cost.

4. Bad Weather:

For outdoor events, bad weather is always a threat and can completely ruin the day. It's important to have a backup plan that includes having a nearby space where the party can be moved to for extra shelter. Tents can be acquired through party rental companies in the San Fernando Valley to offer outdoor shelter so the party can go on. The tent should be able to accommodate the number of guests that you expect to attend.
