5 Must Haves for Every Event

Planning an event, whether a corporate party or an annual fundraiser, takes a lot of time and effort. If you’re in charge of the organising committee, keep in mind these must-haves.

1.     A Checklist

This is not an ordinary checklist that reminds you to make last minute phone calls. It’s a safety checklist that ensures that the grounds are safe enough for your guests. The walkways or pathways should be clear of all objects. They should also have good lighting. Make sure you secure live wires and other electrical parts so they don’t get in the way of your guests. Lastly, keep a first-aid kit handy, just in case something does go wrong. Put all this down on your checklist and go over it before your guests arrive.

2.     Liability Waivers

It’s a good idea to use the services of a lawyer to draw up a liability waiver. This waiver will protect your company from lawsuits. You can draw one up for both participants and volunteers. Each state has its own legislations with regards to rights. Make sure the document complies with local jurisdictions. Don’t forget to ask all volunteers and participants to sign the contract before the event begins.

3.     Skip Bins

You could end up in a sticky situation if you haven’t taken waste disposal into consideration. If you’re planning a large event, you’ll likely generate more waste than regular bins can hold. It’s a good idea to hire skip bins for this purpose. They accommodate more waste and the providers collect them on the date requested. They also dispose of garbage in an environment friendly way so it doesn't just pile up in landfills. If you leave rubbish lying around during and after the event, you won’t leave a good impression on your guests. To make the event a success, make provisions for skip bins.

4.     Fences

It’s easy to forget about using fences at your event. They’re helpful in cordoning off sections at the venue and they help you to manage people and pedestrians. Place them in strategic locations to effectively manage the flow of traffic. You can also use them to secure the venue. Fences come in different sizes. Whether you’re planning an exhibition, a sporting event, or a New Year’s Eve party, you’ll find ones that suit your requirement.

5.     Portable Toilets

Modern portable toilets are a far cry from the ones used decades ago. These toilets feature hand or foot operated flushes, toilet tissue dispensers, wash basins, and self-closing doors. The newer portable toilets are more spacious than before. They take care of health and sanitation needs at big and small events.
