The Perfect Touch

February 25, 2009 andrendevinmgsp

Before:

For this entry I hope to help my reader to think about touch in the non obvious way.  I love planning parties and get togethers’ for my friends.  My mom always had the best and most fun parties and everyone always said that she had the perfect “touch”.  I have decided to write my entry about how a little personal feeling and how adding your own spin to things can be just that perfect touch.  I will hope to find some web sites about party planners and use some of their ideas in my entry.

If you don’t like planning  your own parties or feel that they are always a drab then consider an event planner!  A good event planner ” works long and non-traditional hours to plan and execute all details related to a variety of meeting formats including seminars, conferences, trade shows, executive retreats, incentive programs, golf events, conventions, and other programs.” (Hard para. 2).  They will help to ease your planning and party troubles with an event planner.  You can tell them all of your ideas and look at the details to help to ad that special touch that your parties have missed in the past.

To make a party memorable and special there are simple things you can do.  Making a good lasting impression can be as simple as starting with the decorations.  “Decor can be as elaborate or as simple as you would like, but do something to please the eye and let your guests know what to expect. Set the tone with the decorations, from classics..” (Wills para. 1).  If you are confused as to where to start then perhaps begin by picking a theme.  Once you have picked an appropriate them it is then very easy to add your own touches.  Just remember that the littlest things can have the biggest impact.

My final tip to making the perfect party is don’t be afraid to spend the time.  Remember these helpful tips “

Plan ahead, it’s attention to detail that makes the difference.

Allow plenty of time to prepare, make a list and shop smart.

Things are hectic when party-time approaches so stay organized.” (Dave Entertainment para. 1)

The more thought and time you personally put into a party that you are throwing the better it will come out.  Don’t shy away from the ideas that you have because often they are similar to what an event or party planner might tell you.  The party is in your hands and can be as creative as you want.  You can have hand made center pieces and decorations and favors or keep it to the basics.  These choices are totally up to you.

After:

I think I have done a good job at getting my point across.  These are all good tips to planning the perfect party and giving it your own touch or that perfect touch you are looking for.  I actually loved looking through the different sources and learning about this.  As I stated before I love to cook for and plan parties so I loved learning these interesting facts.

My works cited is on it’s own page.

  I love how you incorporate one of your passions in your writing. It is great to further you knowledge of something you enjoy, and to reassure your passion. You picked an unusual topic which made this entry a treat to read. Your goal statement was written well. One tiny thing I would suggest is (at least for check-list sake, and for your own in this class) to further your goals a little more, at least on audience etc because I know that is a requirement. Other than that you truly did a great job, I always enjoy your entries. =D
