Successful Event Planning is a Life Skill

This week, I’m joined by True North Homeschool Academy Teacher, Anna Knaub, who is going to be talking with us about the important life skill of Event Planning!

Types of Event Planning:

• Wedding
• Birthdays
• Corporate & Business
• Holiday
• Church
• Fund Raising

Event Planning is a great “robot-proofed” job! It requires:

• Collaboration
• Critical thinking
• Creativity
• Communication

Event planners can make a LOT of money. And as parents, we know that we are planning events with regularity – from birthdays, to travel/ vacations, holidays and more!

Helping our kids understand the basics of event planning is a life skill – one they can monetize and serve others with!

How to help your kids get started with Event Planning as a fun Micro-Biz:

• Pick and age group
• Pick 4 themes
• Come up with supplies- might require front end money for things like Table Cloths, etc.
• Plot things out: Time frame, sample menu, decorations, items to purchase, who is making purchases,etc.
• Pinterest is a great place for ideas as well as place to create themed boards as you plan
