Throw Your Event the Natural Way!
These days everyone is going green. From corporations to individual households, people have realized the importance of protecting our environment, the planet and all animals. Going green has become so important that those industries, corporations and individuals who do not partake in it are frowned upon, some even to the point of being boycotted. For many reasons, including this one, many companies are going green in their offices, in the products they produce and at the events they host. Green picnics are becoming more common and are not as difficult to pull off as one may expect. It’s all in the details. From the location to your menu to even your décor, going green at your next company picnic can be a snap. Read More...

Company Picnic Timeline
Download Company Picnic Planning Checklist
As an event planner for  a picnic event company, I am very often asked for a timeline of the correct order that aspects of the picnic planning process should be completed. Internally, I always have a process that I go by, but for someone who has never planned a picnic before, one may not know the importance of many of the steps. It is key that tasks are completed with ample time left for the many other tasks so that first choice on location, date, and catering and event planning companies are yours. It is also important to know your event planner’s timeline in order to stay on the same page. For your knowledge and benefit, I have listed all the steps to planning the perfect picnic, without having to rush, worry you are forgetting aspects and to guarantee that your guests are willing and able to attend.
1. Determine your budget Make sure that all aspects of your event are budgeted (i.e., food, beverages, décor, location fees, staff, equipment,  entertainment, rentals, marketing, raffles, swag and gratuity). The key to the budget is to be reasonable. Determine what it is that your event should accomplish and seek the ways of doing this. Very often, companies are not realistic with their budgets and they are often too low or even much too high. Remember to keep in mind how many guests you are inviting when determining your budget.
2. Determine your perfect picnic date Make sure to choose a date where the weather won’t be too hot or too cold, is not a holiday or even on a holiday weekend and most important, a date that does not interfere with your CEO or President’s schedule.
3. Choose your locationThe more time you allow for this, the better chance you will have to score your first choic e location. I would recommend finding a location 6 months to a year prior to your chosen picnic date. Also, make sure when you are determining your location that you seek a location that has all the amenities that you are interested in.
