Make it elegant BUT not to overimpress.

Its a time to wine and dine for some invitees. Some just appear to show solidarity for that friend, colleague or loved one while some are just there to intimidate and catch attention with their choice of dress. And lest you forget, gate crushers will always be around as well as persons specializing in photobombing.

It is an occasion for joy, merry making, public profession of what has been blessed etc etc. As much as its seems to just be an event, it ought to be memorable but most importantly the life journey just began and thus you have to work it out to make it successful.

Lets zoom in on how to make that event memorable. Whether its a birthday, wedding or a ceremonial gathering, remember to always plan and spend within your budget. Never and never use another persons event as a yard stick to plan yours. No one would really care about your present state after the glamorous event you organised the previous Saturday for family and guests including them.

One thing I have observed is, no matter how meticulous you put things together to make the event beautiful, someone somewhere will pass a complaint. This does not mean you should shabbily organise the event and tell yourself 'who cares'. Dont forget its your event and it will sit with you for the rest of your life. So no matter how small it is planned, spice it up and let the moment captured be relived year after year.

Whatever the apparatus chosen to make this event loved by your spouse-to-be, bring it on. Get that  bouquet, get the hostesses, secure a great venue, bring in sound, get the best photo and videographers because you might get the shock of your life when the final pictures are brought to you after the event, You can not turn back the hands of time to correct it so plan.

Just make it simple but elegant.
