Add Pictures to Your Event Page!

If you have any videos or photos of  your past events, you should highlight them into the your website and event page.

If you don’t have any pictures from past events try adding pictures of what you plan to do, people like pictures.

Have Your Own Signature Cocktails

Of course there will plenty of bubbly flowing but by having specialty cocktails  are a great way to make your party be distinguished from the rest. Have fun with it, have the cocktail names go along with your theme to enhance the theme. Make it unique and exciting but also be sure to make it practical. This also give you a chance to use some creativity and try out a bunch of different mixes and justifying it by saying you’re working. Regardless of the signature cocktail you feature  be sure to include an appropriate amount of wine, beer and of course champagne.  

 Offer Your Guest Perks!

Right on your event page offer your guests  special upgrades like; Check-In Specials Let your guest advertise for you. We all know the power of social media and there is only so much you can do through your own social media website. By having your guest check in it gives your event more visibility and exposure.
