Debuts
should be the most memorable birthday that a girl should have because it starts
the beginning of a girl who turn into a fine lady. Family and friends are all
gathered up to celebrate this momentous event to witness the special day of the
debutante. We cannot remove the
expectation of our guests when it comes to celebrating debuts so it is better
to have some ideas in order to achieve it. So for this blog, I will share a
thorough tips on how you can plan your debut party exceptionally.
THINGS TO CONSIDER IN PLANNING DEBUT PARTY
You
need to check-in in a hotel because this place will serve as your waiting area.
You will put your make-up, wear your gown, and have a little photoshoot here
before you went to your actual venue. Hotel is only an option because you can
also do it in your house if you have a tight budget. If your venue will be held
in a clubhouse of the hotel then your hotel room will be free but sometimes it’s
not.
You
will need your hair and make-up artist because you need to look beautiful
especially that this event is made for you. You need to stand out among the guests.
But, if know how to put a make-up on yourself then it is okay because you can
use the supposedly payment for the make-up artist to other things.
Please
don’t ever put conditioner on your hair if you wish to use an iron curler
because if you do, your hair will not cooperate. I’m natural curl, so when I put
conditioner on the day of my party, it becomes a goldilocks hair than its usual
look curl everytime I iron it.
Little
details can make you glamorous so it is better to wear accessories on your
party. You can have a crown and a bling around your hair so that your hair will
not be boring, a necklace that matches your gown, an earrings that will make
you elegant, a bracelet that gives you an illusion of being slim, and a sandals
that will make you taller.
It is
important to have an invitation because this will serve as a guide to your
guests. Here, your guests will know the details of your party like the date and
the place it will occur, the theme, and their part. Some debutants send their
invitations through social media which is a great idea to save money but for me
it is better to give an invitation physically because having the actual invites
gives you an excitement to attend the party.
Before
the party ends, a simple giveaway is being distributed to the guests. It serves
as a simple thank you gift for the guests as they make time for your special
event. You can give a souvenir so they can use it as their decoration in their
room or you can give something that they can use like ball point pen, tote
bags, tumblers, and others.
Every
details in preparing and getting ready for the event is being recorded and
photographed so prepare an extra dress for the photoshoot. Some only use a
bathrobe but I think a dress is better.
Your
gown is one of the important thing in this event so better to have in mind what
design do you want and have it made to your known designer or sewer at least 4
to 5 months before your party. Some have 1 to 3 looks meaning 3 different gowns
but if you’re on a tight budget but still want to achieve different looks, I
suggest you to make your gown a detachable one. Believe it or not, my gown can
make 4 looks. By the way, you can also buy or rent a readymade gown if you
want.
The venue
is where the party is being held at. It can be in a clubhouse, restaurant,
garden, gymnasium, or others. The venue should accommodate all of your guests
and its proper ventilated so that your guests will be comfortable during their
whole stay there.
Decide
what theme you want for you party so that your guests will have an idea on what
to expect. It can be boho, pastel, travel, garden, Disney, and such base on
your liking. This theme will be seen all over the party from the venue to your
guests. The colors, concept, and backdrop of the venue will be base there and
your guess will match their suits and dresses.
Believe
it or not but one of the reason why your guests decided to go on your party is
because of the food. The food should be delicious to fill the empty stomach of
the guests and we don’t want them feeling down after the party because they
didn’t enjoy the food. Also, make sure you have enough food for the guests and
it is better if there is an excess so that your guests can go back and forth in
the buffet section. Some hire caterers because the family of the debutant don’t
want to be hassle in cooking the viands. What is great in hiring caterers is
that they provide chairs and tables, utensils, napkins, and servers. But if you
will celebrate in a restaurant then this will not be a problem.
Cake
should not be forgotten in an event like this because your birthday will not be
complete without it. Some wants their cake simple but some want it. Cakes can
be really expensive too especially if you want to have tiers so if you’re on a
tight budget it is better to buy a one layer cake. Actually, what I suggest is
to buy 1 to 3 pieces of one layer cake because you can eat it all than a 2 to 5
layered cake where you can only eat the top bottom.
Music
and lights will bring up the mood of the party. Prepare a good music per your
activities so that the guests will be hype. The light effects should also be
present as it will be give life of the party. Some family rent these lights and
sound equipment and the company provides an operator but some party, the family
of the debutante is the one who operates it.
