There is always someone, somewhere, celebrating something, hosting an event, planning a conference, or organising a programme. The host dreams of the event being a success. However, things do not always turn out as planned. Outcomes are not always favourable. At times, the end does not justify the effort and investment. Not everyone can afford to hire a professional event planner or coordinator to run their event, yet every event needs adequate planning. This book is written with the layperson in mind. It is a practical and insightful guidebook for planning successful events. It will prevent planning chaos, pre-event anxieties, and nightmare outcomes. Whether you are planning a celebration party, wedding, bridal shower, retreat, conference, workshop, funeral, festival, fundraising banquet, or any other event, the principles in the book largely apply with little variations. The 25 Ps of event planning will equip you for the tasks ahead. Grace has written this book, gleaning from over 25 years of planning, organising, and executing many successful celebrations, and conferences, both small-scale and large-scale events. Her book is a solution-provider, an invaluable guide, and a money-saver!
