select a venue that is close of hotels or at least a taxi ride away
post for names
a payment method: paypal or cheque but with a cheque you are giving away your name & address, that carries it's own risk

get the money upfront or you may run the risk of not having the money to cover the venue...
I remember a social that was going to be cancelled due to underpayment, I gave the shortfall. |

Find out the costs of the hall of a few chosen venues you like.
Buffer costs per head also .
DJ costs and any other expense you might incur . Then decide on how much you need to charge to cover all of those things . Paypal is safest method of payments as it links bank cards to names and can't have a bank account without identification do you know most are genuine . Be prepared for non payers and cancellations as these always happen.
Once all sorted send out mail individually to all paid the day before and ensure its kept discreet amongst people . Those not attending should not know venue details . It'd hard work but worth it when you see a night coming together and folk all having fun . Always stipulate there will be no play at venue. And what's said above . Get a hotel list together of local hotels close by to venue as some people will be coming from afar.
Good luck with your socials xx |

I've organised quite a few socials and the hardest thing is getting folks to pay up.You may be lucky to find a venue with free hire.In that case returnable deposit is a good idea.Secures their place and keeps timewasters away.Obviously people's privacy is paramount. Let folks know venue details a day or so before the event.Always make sure they are on Fab too.It can be a pain to organise but well worth it in the end.If I can help with anything please feel free to message me.Good luck.
