6 Strategies to Reduce
Event Planning Stress
TYLER MATKOWSKI
1. It is crucial to prepare for the “nth” degree.
Something will always test your plans, but the
better one prepares and has backup plans, the
less tension there is.
2. Event organizers must ensure they
comprehensively understand the needs,
wants, and requirements of the
organizers, the organization, and the
attendees. A planner should thoroughly
discuss and exchange ideas with the
event before “taking on” the event. To
avoid misunderstandings or the infamous
“He said, she said,” event planners should
put these wants and wishes in the paper.
3. Tyler Matkowski says having
a well-organized committee
structure with members who
know their “charge” and what
is expected of them is crucial.
Thus, there is significantly less
uncertainty and unnecessary
tension. To ensure that all areas
are appropriately covered, the
planner should also organize
regular meetings or talks with
the committees (or, at the very
least, the chairs of the
committees).
4. A planner must be sufficiently educated and have done his research on the venue, the
event, the expected and actual attendance, etc.
5. A budget with specific boundaries should be developed and approved from the beginning.
On the revenue side, projections should be highly conservative, and worst-case scenarios on
the spending side.
6. The planner must include “me time” in his calendar so that he can unwind, unwind, and
de-stress. Burnout is always a possibility if not.
These are merely the “tip of the iceberg,” but they must serve as the beginning point to
guarantee a successful event and an event planner who is both sane and healthy. It may
sound overly simple, but it’s surprising how infrequently these factors are taken into
account as part of the procedure.
Thank You
