You know what the holiday means? Well, aside from the endless food from various events, it’s all about cleaning your house and preparing it to welcome the new year. There’s something cleansing about finding time to clean and organize everything in your home. It feels like we’re cleansing ourselves of the bad things that happen the past year in preparation of the new blessings that will come our way in the hopefully brighter future.

Every Thanksgiving, families and friends gather around to celebrate this traditional American holiday. And while we enjoy being guests or hosts sometimes, this also means that the holiday season has officially come upon us. Are we prepared for the events that are about to come? Remember that we are not only going to be busy attending Christmas parties, reunions, and company events, our homes will also play host to a variety of dinners, lunches, and even brunches. But how do we prepare our homes for the kind of onslaught it’ll receive this holiday season? If you love hosting parties and preparing dinners for your friends and families, you even have a bigger role to play. Deep clean your house Before anything else—before the decorations are put up and the ornaments are hanged—deep clean your house. Remove all the furniture and the movable fixtures and clean every corner of your house. Believe us, you’ll feel better knowing that no one in your extended family will b…

No matter how big or small the events are, the formula for a successful event is almost exactly the same. So even if you’re hosting a black-tie dinner, an informal fundraiser, or a casual party, only the size of the guests will change. The event must still be well-planned and organized to be truly memorable. Clarify the purpose Define what the purpose of the event is and make sure that this is clear to all parties concerned—the stakeholders. When it comes to making critical decisions in the planning stage, the purpose of the event must be your guiding light. A wedding, for example, can have the purpose of making sure the guests enjoy the dinner or making the place truly Instagram-worthy. Once the decision about budgeting comes up, the couple can decide whether to prioritize the food or the decorations. Set a line-item budget It is not enough that you set a general budget for the whole event. It must be clear to all concerned the precise dollar value of every i…

Have you ever attended concert events and felt instantly sluggish an hour or two into the concert? No matter how thumping and cool the music is, we can’t help but feel exhausted while we’re out there partying. Yes, the adrenaline is pushing us to dance to our heart’s content and sing along with the band or the musician but we know deep down that we’re tired beyond compare. Thankfully, we can always do something about this sluggish feeling of ours during nights of revelry and fun. Instead of just pushing ourselves to enjoy and feeling exhausted the day after, why don’t we prepare our bodies for all the activities and all that adrenaline we will be pumping out of our systems? Sleep well the night before If we know that we are going to lose sleep because we need to attend a concert or an event, why don’t we prepare our bodies for it? The one thing that makes you feel extremely tired during an event is the lack of sleep. When our bodies are well-rested, we are alm…

The first thing you need to do is ask yourself if your guest-of-honor, the bride, would want to have a party thrown for her. Some people are against these events and simply wants to dine in with close friends and family before the actual wedding day. If your bride-friend is not the kind who wants to party and celebrate the end of her singlehood, then you need to scrap the whole plan and just hold a simple dinner in her honor. However, once you have pinpointed that she is the kind of bride who wants a shower party, then it’s time for you to wear your party hat and organize the best bridal shower ever. There’s another problem, though. Who are you going to invite? You can’t very well ask the bride if it’s a surprise party. If it’s not, you’ve got your problem sorted out. Ask the bride If the bride knows a party is going to be thrown for her, then you’ve got no problem with the shortlist. Simply ask the bride who she wants to see there and who she wants to be inv…

Are you in the process of planning surprise party events for your loved ones? Whether it’s a proposal or a birthday or an anniversary, surprise parties are such a nice gesture from a loved one. It takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention the money you have to spend hiring a caterer and renting an event place.

If it’s the thought of organizing, we’re here to help and guide you throughout the whole process.

You need to collect this data to make sure that everyone who’s important to your guest of honor will be there. You also need to reiterate that this is a surprise party and that they cannot tell anyone, no matter…
