Planning a Scrapbooking Event

So you are planning to have a scrapbooking event.  There are many ways to host a scrapbook event.

Planning a Scrapbooking  Home Party -

1. When your Planning a Scrapbooking Event you want to make sure that you will have a good sized crowd.  In order to ensure that you have a good turnout, you want to touch base with several of your friends to see how their schedules look and to make sure you are planning far enough in advance to get your event on their calendar.  After speaking with several of your friends, set a date for the event and communicate the date with your core group of friends.
2. If you are looking to make this event a big one, you will want to make sure to advertise the event.  If you are planning a scrapbooking event add your event to Cherish-Creative-Scrapbooking.com on the Scrapbooking Event Submission page.  You can also contact your local scrapbooking store to ask about posting a flyer in their store.
3. Find a sponsor for the event.  If you are hosting the party to show your own products, you will skip this step.  If not, you may want to contact a creative memories rep. or a scrapbook store.  If you are going to have enough guest, most stores would be happy to sponsor your event.  You can request that the sponsor supply the tools and possibly the paper for free and the guest would pay for embellishments.  There are many ways to have them sponsor the event.  Be creative and remember that the store is looking to make a profit and you are looking to create some great scrapbooks and have a good time with your friends.
4. You will definitely want the sponsor to demonstrate any new products that are on the market at the time.
5. Theme up the party.  Talk to your friends to see what type of pages they would like to make.  If everyone at the party is focused on the same type of layouts, the sponsor will be able to bring embellishments that focus on the theme of the day.  Maybe you choose a beach themed party.  Then the sponsor will bring embellishments that primarily focus on summer, sun and beach items.  Don't limit the crop to one theme but try to keep it focused on a limited number of themes.  It will really make things easy for you and the sponsor.
6. Put together invitations for your event.  Make sure to give your friends plenty of extra invitations to give out to their friends.  You will not know everyone that your friends know.  They will be able to help you make the event big.
7. Have your friends put their phone number on the indentations and ask for RSVP.  Your friends will be able to contact you to let you know how many people to expect from the invitations they gave out.  You will not want everyone contacting you for the RSVP.
8. Setting up for the big day.  Place tables around your house for cropping zones.  Make sure each person has minimum of a 3 x 2.5 ft space to work in.  You don't want your guests to feel cramped in a small area.  Try your best to set up the tables where everyone can see any demonstrations that you have scheduled.  If you have too small of an area, you may be able to set up a camera to video tape or broadcast to the other rooms.

9. Supply finger foods to where your guest can eat while they crop.
10. Make sure you take pictures and get comments from your guest that you can send in to me.  I would be glad to post your crop on the site.  I hope that this page helps you in Planning a Scrapbooking Event at your home.

Have A Great Time!
