Planning a large family event or celebration can be a stressful experience. There are lots of things to consider and you need to make sure the plan for the event is successfully communicated to everyone. In the following essay, I will describe some of the problems you may encounter and suggest ways in which these may be solved or avoided.

Planning a large event is perhaps difficult enough when you do not know the people attending the celebration. When you do know the people coming, however, the task can be even harder. For example, when organising an event for your family, your guests might have very particular views on how they expect the event to be, what you should be eating and how the decorations should be done.

Secondly, because it is a family event, you will need to provide food and entertainment for different age groups. You may have very young children attending, together with your elderly grandparents. The solution to these problems is careful planning.You need to plan early and make sure you have all the information you need to organise your event. You will need to know exactly who is coming so the dietary requirements of both young and old can be catered for. You could also ask for opinions on the event during the planning stages, so your guests feel more included.

In conclusion, organising a large family event can be problematic. Nevertheless, if you plan carefully and include relatives during the preparation stage, all should go well.
