What event style best suits your personality?

You're passionate, determined, and a total boss. You bring panache, energy, and a solid dose of charm to any event you host. Your event needs to be refined, elegant, and impressive. Your event also needs to be buzz-worthy and completely cutting edge.

Because you love to be ahead of a trend, think about delivering a creative experience. Something outside of the box. This could mean throwing a traditional event with surprising modern twists. Or bringing out the beauty in an unexpected venue. Or even keeping lots of the details secret until the big day (to build up some hype!).

You're super driven and you like to get things done, which is a total super-power when it comes to delivering an awesome event. You're also great at delegating, which means you'd work very well with an event planner.

Here's a tip to keep calm and carry on as you gear up for your event...

Because you're multi-talented and a solid leader, you can tend toward perfectionism. Remember to ask for help when you need it. When you delegate and trust that everything will get done, you'll be able to loosen up and even have a good time!

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." — Audrey Hepburn

Here are 3 Tricks for Planning an Unforgettable Event

1. Check Out the Venue Beforehand

It's super important to get to know your venue before the big event. What areas need to be spruced up with design? What are the best spots for photo ops? Where's your power spot as the host?

Take a long walk-about so that you already feel really comfortable on the day of your big event. You always want to be ahead of the game. The more at home you feel in your venue, the more confident of a host you'll be.

2. Create a Signature Cocktail

Custom cocktails add some extra flavor to your event. They're a crowd-pleaser and conversation-starter. Why not pick two drinks that express two different aspects of your personality?

In addition to making your event feel super unique, this is also a budget-friendly option. Especially if you opt for signature cocktails instead of a full bar. You'll be really surprised by how much you can save with this trick.

By the way, if you'd rather not serve alcohol at the event, make it a signature mocktail! Grab this list of crowd-favorites.

3. Timing is everything

The more time you give yourself (and your planning team) to prep for an event, the better. Because the best venues and vendors are often booked out several months in advance. For instance, you definitely want to find your florist at least six months before the big day.

Importantly, giving yourself lead-time to snag the perfect venue is clutch. This will also allow you to book at times that are a little less expensive (if that's attractive for your budget).

With all things event planning, start early and you'll have the pick of the litter!

🎆 CHEERS TO YOU FRIEND! YOUR EVENT'S GONNA BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN 🎆

You're bright, bubbly, and a whole lot of fun. You're also super creative and you seriously know how to set a trend. If you were going to hold a Gala, it would be the Met Gala.

Your perfect event—whether it's a birthday party, a cultural event, or even a retreat—needs to be fun, creative, and artistic.

It's important that the visual aspect of your event matches your visual style. You could really rock an event with a unique theme that's totally you. So that everyone has a great time dressing to the nines.

You're not super traditional, which means you may enjoy a venue that's off the beaten path. Take it to the beach, to an unexpected historic gem, or to a speak-easy style bar. Your unexpected venue possibilities are as endless as your imagination!

Your event needs to create an atmosphere that feels unique and special. Let your creative side shine, and your event is going to truly make waves.

Here's a tip to keep calm and carry on as you gear up for your event…

You're a great ideator, but you're not really a planner. In fact, putting all the details of an event together may be just as much fun for you as reorganizing a sock drawer.

Because you've got a solid network, let yourself rely on the planning genius of your people who love to plan. Working with an event planner can also make the entire process completely headache free for you.

🎆 CHEERS TO YOU FRIEND! YOUR EVENT'S GONNA BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN 🎆

You're warm, openhearted, and the best bestie a friend could ask for. With your big heart, you're the rock that people lean on for support. Your event shines when it's a heartfelt experience for your entire community.

If your event had a theme it might be "treat yourself." Think about nurturing experiences for your people. From a massage station, to a mini-spa experience… to a farm to table meal with live music.

The perfect event for you is a celebration that brings people together. Think activities that spark deep conversation. You could even ask the talented people in your network to lend their talents to the occasion.

In terms of venue, a space that's not overbearing will make your guests feel at home. A venue that's clean, light, and airy will elevate your people. It'll also make everyone feel calm. Or you could opt for something super-grounding and hold the event in a natural setting.

Here's a tip to keep calm and carry on as you gear up for your event…

Although you're very nurturing, you sometimes care too much for others before taking care of yourself. So before asking your network for advice about planning this event, take some time to connect with yourself. Really dream up what you want it to be. What suits you? This way, you'll be able to enjoy the event just as much as all of your guests.

🎆 CHEERS TO YOU FRIEND! YOUR EVENT'S GONNA BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN 🎆

You're deep, thoughtful, and whip smart. In terms of style, toned down cool is totally your vibe. An event that's elegantly simple, down to earth, and mentally stimulating has “You” written all over it.

For the event's visual vibe, think minimal yet thoughtful. You're detail-oriented which means you could totally pull off an event that takes a lot of planning and organizing like a retreat. Your attention to detail also means you won't have a hard time sticking to your budget. You believe in quality, so choose to invest in the aspects of the event that are most important to you.

Look for mentally stimulating activities that'll inspire you and your guests. This could be a wine or food tasting, a guest speaker who's an expert in a fascinating field, or some unexpected and mind-bending games. Educational events are up your alley too. Use your rich mind to look outside the box for activities that are going to absolutely wow your guests.

Here's a tip to keep calm and carry on as you gear up for your event…

Although details are your domain, make sure you're not so focused on the planning process that you forget to enjoy yourself. Take breaks, let other people help you. Even delegate some of the work, so you can fully enjoy the event. You deserve it, friend!
