Your Casino Party will require different levels of approval. You’ve got your overview and ultimate event purpose established with a pretty good idea of where you’ll have your event. Do you have the final say on those matters – or do you need the approval of a higher authority?

Then there is the food, beverage, venue ammenities, staff, etc. So many decisions to be made. Make it easy on yourself and form a committee and give one major area of responsibility to each person to oversee and then all people report back to you and then ultimately on to the person you report to – if there is one.

Let’s assume there is an ultimate Decision Maker. Generally, it’s the person who signs the checks – or authorizes accounting to disburse the funds to pay for this event. That decision maker may want input, they may not. They may want to know all of the details or they may just want the overview.

Do you fully understand what that decision maker’s idea of a great event is? That is the first place for you to start.

After you form your committee and have your brainstorming session, create an outline of the type of event you’re proposing.

Take that outline to the ultimate decision maker with a cost projection and get approval of your plan before you spend a lot of time implementing it.

There is nothing more defeating that spending hours planning an event and then find out it is not what the person who is paying the bill had in mind. Granted, they could have given you a better idea of what they wanted, but maybe they didn’t know. Maybe they subscribe to the previous mentioned school of thought – throw the idea out and see what comes back – from a variety of people.

One thing is certain, you won’t get very far without their approval, so get it as close to the beginning of your process, determine how “hands on” they want to be and how much autonomy you have with the event.

Insist on whatever time you need to plan your Casino Party well and make these determinations early in the process. It will just save everyone more time later on.
