If you are responsible for planning an event consider using resources available on-line. Using a free internet website like EVUGIFT.COM can assist planning with benefits that have not been available previously. Use the community based tools, enabling you to: Add Events with RSVP, Send e-card invitations, Make group decisions, share files and pictures, Chat with guests before and after the events.
On-line planning can be a community experience that can bring many advantages and can contribute to building an ambience for your event even before it starts.
Whether you are planning a simple housewarming party or a large Wedding, let’s first take a look at some of the common things you will do:
•Send invitations to guests
•Inform guests of details such as directions, addresses, Venue, dress code
•Create and share gift lists with your guests
•Delegate tasks to people
•Make group decisions and get advice from friends and family
•Accepting guests’ RSVPs
Traditionally, we use the phone and email to do most of our organising. You are probably aware of some of the difficulties that exist. Trying to arrange a date and time that suits everyone’s calendar can be a consuming and tiresome affair. However, doing it on-line can save a lot of effort. Simply set-up a Poll and then invite everyone to select dates that are suitable for them. Leaving you to look at the results and picking the best date.
EVUGIFT enables us to create a private area for unlimited number of events where invited guests can contribute to Forums, Polls, Task lists, uploading of pictures and more. Planning on-line enables communication at one’s own convenience similar to email but with the added advantages that it is shared and available from one accessible area.
You start to build an excitement and a momentum leading to the event, guests feel like they are a part of something. You can use Forums to chat about what you are ‘going to wear on the night’, ‘what kind of food people like’, ‘if anyone can recommend a good caterer’ or ‘what people are going to wear for fancy dress’. Whatever the topics might be, they contribute to creating a community spirit. It is also a perfect opportunity for unfamiliar and unknown guests to get to know everyone else.
One of the keys to successful planning is delegation. With EVUGIFT you can create a ‘things to do’ list, enabling you to assign tasks to your members/guests. People can acknowledge what they have to do, update the status and leave a comment when it is complete.
As with most events you will probably want to chat about it afterwards to: Say thank you, exchange photos and of course reminisce about the good times. By the end of it, you will have created a unique record of your event that will have more to say than an album of photos.
The internet is a practical platform for a fun, sociable and interactive approach to planning successful events. EVUGIFT helps to build a community spirit that carries into the actual event and afterwards.
