Morning Magic: The Timing Trick

Good morning, magical friends in Montgomery Township and beyond! 🌅

Today, I am here to share a secret that professional event planners swear by, and it’s all about timing. Yes, the timing of your party can significantly influence the success of your event. So, let’s unravel today’s tip:

Tip #2: The Quarter-Hour Start Time

When planning your magical birthday party here in the vibrant surroundings of Montgomery Township, consider setting the start time at a quarter past or a quarter to the hour, for instance, 2:15 PM or 2:45 PM. This little trick encourages guests to be punctual, helping you to kickstart the festivities on time. Here are some additional pointers to ensure timeliness:

  • On the Dot: After specifying the start time, add the phrase “On the Dot” to emphasize the importance of being on time.
  • Polite Request: In your invitation, kindly request your guests to be on time, encouraging a prompt start to the party.
  • Reminder: Send out a reminder a week before the party, reiterating the exact start time to keep it fresh in your guests’ minds.
  • Fudge Factor: Despite your best efforts, there might be a few latecomers. Plan to start any major activities or entertainment 30 minutes after the official start time, giving kids a chance to settle in and perhaps let off some steam.

Remember, a well-timed party ensures a smooth flow of events and a magical experience for everyone.
