Event Planning Checklist
Planning a corporate event can be a stressful and complex task. PrintMyRibbon has created the following checklist in order to ease the process of event planning. This guideline can be easily modified to fit any occasion and covers what is needed before, during, and after an event.
| Element | Description | Date Completed |
| Location | Determine a location and figure rental cost, labor, and if permits/licenses are needed. | |
| Advertisement | Send out invitations, post flyers, and send email reminders. | |
| Equipment | If your event requires audio or visual equipment, you may need to rent these items and hire labor. Items may include microphones, speakers, computers, a projector, and a camera. | |
| Food & Beverages | Catering may be provided with hall rental. But if it isn't, hire an outside catering company. Determine a menu, beverages, and factor in the cost of service staff. | |
| Rentals | You may need to rent tables, chairs, props, tents, risers, and a podium. | |
| Decorations | Determine whether you need centerpieces, candles, flowers, balloons, signs, decor, and staff for setup. | |
| Entertainment | Determine whether you want a speaker and if fees will be associated with that. Gifts and giveaways, music, and a disc jockey are other entertainment factors to consider. | |
| Accommodations | Do your guests require transportation or hotel accommodation? | |
| Labor | Determine whether you need to hire staff to help run your event. | |
| Follow Up | Hold a meeting or ask guests to leave comments about the success of the event. Send thank you notes to those who helped make your event a success. |
