A brief edition of this story from the Viga archive.

01

Set the framework

Choose a realistic budget and investigate dates and locations early. Some flexibility helps when coordinating a venue and the people involved.

02

Bring the details together

Plan food and drinks around the gathering, asking guests about preferences and allergies. Invitations should explain the time, place and any dress code or theme. A caterer can help organize the menu and service as part of that wider plan.
