fandomhigh | Event Planning, Tuesday Third Period

"Okay, so," Vanessa said, "you've decided what your event is going to be; now you have to decide when you're going to have it. If you're having a birthday party or, say, a Fourth of July barbecue, great news! Your planning is done for you. Free space, use the rest of this class to goof off on your smartphones. But if you're having some other type of event, this can get kind of complicated. Even something that seems straightforward, like a Christmas party--obviously, you're gonna have it at Christmas, right? Well, except most people don't like to attend parties on Christmas Day. So you need to pin down a date close to Christmas that isn't some kind of scheduling conflict for the majority of your guests. And for a wedding, whoo, what a mess! You've got the whole calendar open to you, so you've got to decide, do you want a fall wedding, or a theme wedding to a holiday, or an anniversary with a really easy to remember date? And then, of course, there's venue availability, which we'll get to next week, but it can throw all your plans out the window. Remember, weekends work well as far as guest availability goes, but they also mean venues tend to be in higher demand, so they might be booked or more expensive.

"So, all that said, your assignment for this week is to pick a date for your event, then tell the class what it is and why you chose that day."
