ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“Printable signs are such a cheap and easy way to put guests at ease on arrival—and it’ll save you being asked the same questions over and over again.

The truth is, when guests first arrive at an event, they usually want a little guidance on what to do next.

That’s why professional events always have hosts whose sole job it is to welcome people, tell them where things are, and where to go.

It’s also easy for guests to miss certain activities you want them to take part in, such as sign a guest book or record a video message.

Therefore, it’s always best to spell things out with simple directions and instructions; even if you to, everything might seem obvious.“
