Party Checklist

Party Countdown Checklist

When and where will the party be held?
How many guests will be invited?
What is the food and service plan?
What is the seating arrangement?
How many tables will be used (serving tables vs. seated tables)?
What are the sizes of the tables?
What is the mood or theme I want to create?
What is the lighting situation?
What is my budget for flowers?

A few other things to consider when working with your florist:

If you are unclear about some of the above questions then invite your florist to see the home/facility to get his or her input and creative ideas.
Inform your florist of your seating and service plans so that he or she may provide some "unexpected" mood makers.
Explain in detail the mood you want to create and ask about rentals, props or other ideas to enhance the event.
Discuss your budget and expectations.
Sometimes special flowers require some extra time to order so be sure to give your florist plenty of advance notice.
Ask if your florist will deliver and decorate for you.

Ask your florist about flowers for parties.
