Do you enjoy the parties and have penchant to arrange ones? Then you can become a party planner without any extra qualifications. There are various sorts of parties that you can choose to be the organizer of. Think of birthday parties, Halloween parties, baby showers, kid parties and corporate parties if you are in for some serious fun. The list is endless.

How can you attract customers and show skills? The best advertisement is your own parties. The guests that you invite can see how you do it and you have a chance to show your creativity and organizational streak.

Your kid’s birthday. To invite guests, you can send them nice invitation cards, there are plenty of them online (search http://www.evite.com/, there are all sorts of invitation cards there). You can send identical cards to everyone or use your imagination and honor the friends and parents of your kid with individual ones.

You can think through the details to make it more fun and a real celebration. Buy balloons and cakes, invite a clown (a good clown or a magician can be a good entertainment for both kids and adults), get a game book and arrange several games to get everybody involved. You can suggest that everyone wears a unique costume to the party, which will surely make it even more fun.

You can make the party brighter and sparkling if you get Indian light or a popcorn machine. You can also arrange the seatings to avoid placing the kids who are likely to harm each other very close.

Probably, it is best to make sure that you do not overdo with games and activities, because kids can get tired of them and be reluctant to participate. Leave some time for them to enjoy each other’s company and play their own games. Try not to dominate and control the party. A professional party planner is an almost invisible presence, but if your efforts are a success you are sure to receive many thank yous from the kids’ parents at the end. Enjoy your party!

Are you the one who loves arranging parties for friends and relatives? Do you think it is fun and sheer enjoyment? Do you have an eye for detail and basic organizing skills? Then there is an event planner sleeping in you.

To put it simple, an event planner is a person, who organizes various events. There are all kinds of events to be arranged and taken care of. They can be big and national, including festivals, fairs and exhibitions (Mardi Gras, New Year’s celebrations, etc) or they can be smaller and private. The second group refers to corporate parties, anniversary ceremonies, graduations, birthdays, baby showers, cocktail parties, sit-down dinners, etc, etc.

We live in an era of parties and celebrations and people like to mark their rites of passage and celebrate the joy of life. So event planners are in great demand today. How to become a professional event planner?

Well, you would find it hard to get an assistant job to learn the trade, because basically event planners are very much sensitive to competition like any freelancers. For this purpose, you can enroll for a home-study event planning course, like the one offered by the Institute of Event Planning at http://www.inst.org/event/index.htm. It is a distance learning course, so you will not have to travel for your studies.

One of the advantages of the event planning job is that you are your own boss and you are out of box of a 9-to-5 job. And! Your job is to go to the parties; you might have a chance to meet celebrities and beautiful people face to face! You will go places, visit swanky restaurants and hotels and meet a lot of various mostly happy people. You can dedicate as much time to this job as you want. It can go full-time or you can choose to arrange a couple of parties a week. As with any other freelance business, it is all in your own hands.
