Never would have thought I’d become a party planner but Im glad I had the chance to do this. A friend of mine wanted to have a party and he didnt have the time to organize it by himself because he was either too busy with his work or too tied up spending time with his girlfriend. So I “volunteered” to be his party planner. Luckily it was just a small get together with around 20 or so guests. This party was definitely easy to organize since they were all guys… Just put all of them in a room, fill the fridge with beer, add some chips and put on some music and viola! instant party. Guys are soooo easy to please hahahaha. No need for fancy decorations or themed designs just music, booze and chips is all we need for a great time.

As the party planner, I delivered exactly everything I said with the budget given to me. Got a room in a hotel, bought drinks in bulk (cheaper) and some hard drinks, and got some chips. Pulled out the ipod and boom instant party. 

Party planning is a serious art. It takes a lot of organizational skill to pull off a successful party especially when you’re working on a budget. Real Party Planners like wedding planners or events planning is serious work and you must be really good at that to ask for big bucks. I talked to a friend a while back, he told me while he was staying in the states for 6 months he made serious money organizing weddings. He said that organizing a party in the states was easy because everything was online. Just look for what you need on the ineternet and it will be delivered right at your doorstep. He had so much fun in organizing weddings he even offered to sing at some weddings he organized. (he’s a great singer by the way) I asked him, why not start that sort of business here? He told me point blank that he wasn’t interested because planning parties in the Philippines was hell compared to the ”point and click” way he organized parties in the states. hahaha He wasn’t patient enough to deal with people and that it wouldn’t work out for him here.

Parties and Weddings are really serious businesses. Events organizers and wedding planners make a lot money if you know what you’re doing. My short stint as a party organizer is nothing compared to the work that these people put in their master piece (party or wedding)

Note:

my friend earned a lot of money planning weddings in the states. The money he earned paid for his trip.
