artcl: Event Planning: Steps to Planning a Successful Event
L: "The key to any good event is brainstorming what will work best."

L: Setting your goals, will help you create a successful event for the clients and guests.
I: setting an end goal to an event is what every event planner should do, that way they know what they are reaching for and are not just going in to do the planning just because it's their job.
L: "Create a timeline outlining the tasks that need to be completed each week leading up to the event including event logistics. Make deadlines for yourself and then meet them."

Such as the entertainment, food and the location is what an event planner has to carefully help the client pick.
L: "take notes on the pros and cons of the event for the improving for next times"
I: evaluating each event is very important , you don't want to repeat something that went wrong on your other event. Avoiding what went wrong in one event to make another better is very important, for example; during asb we evaluate each event we make to make sure next year asb doesn't do the same for the mistakes. It doesn't only help with the cons but with the pros as well, if something was successful then keep doing it.

Blog #10: Self-Reflection.
Q: How do you think you are doing so far in your senior project and why? AE, P, AP, CR, or NC
A: So far I am at a P, I honestly think I could be doing better. I have had really good contacts, met deadlines, and have really good research sources. Even though I did get an amazing first interview and a great opportunity to do my service learning at BeDazzle My Events, and obtained really good research; I feel I should do more outstanding things to meet an AE.
This is my way to make myself work harder and tell myself I am at a P, but I WILL meet the AE.
Q: What one thing do you think you have done well on and why?
A: Good contacts for both interviews and my service learning place. I have had luck to find good contacts to guide me into the right direction to answer my EQ. I am the most proud of my first interview, I learned to never wait for a response and take the initiative to go in person.
Q: What is one thing you would like to improve on and why?
A: A LOT, even though I am not as behind as others I feel I should be more on top of stuff. Like my service learning place; I have not done any hours due to scheduling problems. I need to call as soon as possible and make sure I will be able to do my service learning there, or if not look for an alternative. Besides my service learning I need to get on top of my science experiment journal and data, Ms. Melogno said she knows I can do better, and I will.
I got this (:

Blog #8: What I've Learned So Far.
Q: What have you learned how to do since you started working on your senior project?
A: I have learned to experience myself by planning events in order to become a successful event planner. Being part of ASB has made this easier, as of right now we are planning Scare Faire. It requires a lot of planning, such as planning the location of each booth, to the small details. I learned how to be more organize about planning the whole event.
Photo: This photo shows the work that has been put into the event, starting with the different layout we came up to this year, and a picture of the quad in which we label were each booth will be located. (after friday I will post a picture of the product of scare faire.) Also the last picture shows the goodie bags that are going to be given to students that day. This are just a few pictures of the planning I have been part of Scare Faire.
Q: What research helped you to do this and how?
A: My interviewee, Dr.Fawaz Al-Malood & 10 Steps to a Fab Job as a Wedding Planner.
Both of these resources have taught me a lot. From having to have experience on planning events to the steps you need to take in order to have a successful event, not just weddings as the article says but all events. They have both taught me that planning an event is hard work and you need to be able to be organize in order to pull a successful event.
*How = What in the research specifically helped you do what you are posting as evidence

Blog #1: Senior Project Topic.
Q: What is your topic?
A: Event Planning.
Q: Why?
A: So I have changed my topic three times already, and I have come to the conclusion that my topic WILL be event planning. I will mainly focus on the celebration side of event planning such as weddings. I have always been a big fan of television shows that deal with wedding planning. I have no idea why I didn't think of event planning for my senior project when I spent most of my summer watching TLC shows about wedding planning and I even said I wanted to be a wedding planner later on in life.
I wanted my senior topic to be a topic that I can show off my creativity and a topic that people will be interested on learning about. And for some reason I couldn't come up with one until Purther help me out and asked me why I like ASB and I answered that I love being part of school events, and BAM event planning came to the picture. Since that day I know this will be my senior topic no matter what.
Q: What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic this year?
A: I hope to learn more in detail about event planning, more than just knowing you need to have organization and be able to manage your time. I really hope I get to do my service learning with a professional event planner and for he/she to teach me the steps it takes to become a successful event planner. Maybe I will make event planning a side job later on in life.
