Invent Creative Methods To Make Attendees Fee Spe!ia The most important part of the event is the first impression that attendees receive when they arrive at the event. This is why many professional event planners focus on ways to make the attendees feel special as they arrive at the event in the hopes that these good feelings will stay with them for the remainder of their time at the venue. The method used can be virtually anything that the event planner can think of, from a red carpet line from the entrance of the venue to the actual area where the event is being held or a special reception with a theme that is tied into the venue for the event. The goal is to make the attendees pleased to attend the event and to start the event off on a high note.
