I think it would be cool too. If you're a teenager you might want to start planning kids birthday parties. It helps the parents a lot. The link below should help you. It's specifically about wedding planning but there are simialr things.

I had a party for my daughter. First, I made a video from her photos from birth and rented a big screen TV.\nI invited people who had been important to her, like her teachers, dance teacher, Brownie leader, friends of hers and of mine who had known her over the years.\nI had another video made at the party, interviewing her firends about her.\nEveryone signed a huge card.\nWe had pop, juice, finger foods, and a huge cake.  We watched the video of my daughter, ate and visited, opened gifts, and had cake. Then we watched a reguar video I'd rented for her friends and the older people had a visit.\nIt was excellent.

You might try IOSCAR.  It asks questions and suggests occupations that you would be interested in.  "Wedding planner" may not be on the list, but if that is what you really want to do, the suggestions should be close to that and will give you an idea of what kind of training or college degee would be helpful to you.\n\nhttp://www.ioscar.org/tx/ip/ipinstruct.asp

I agree with the other answer- tell them you already had plans for the evening. Thank them for the invite and tell them not to forget "details" at work the next day.

My job is boring, but I am kept busy.  Legal secretary....  I liven things up in my spare time, painting and other hobbies.  Right now all my spare time is spent creating this year's Mardi Gras costume.  Nothing boring about that!

Google "professional organizer" and you'll get lots of links to people who do it (whom you can ask for advice) as well as the professional societies (of which there are some).

Put together an album (portfolio) of tables you have designed for wedding buffets, breakfasts etc include not only the flowers but tableware and examples of menus for these include a price per head for these.\n\nHave a selection of entertainment ideas ie discos and prices, bands etc\n\nVenues with pictures and info on how many people they hold\n\nGet information on how you go about applying for an extended licencing hours \n\nCaterers\n\nCatalogues from wedding clothing stores, hairdressers and limousines, horse and carriages etc\n\nIdeas of what to give as a wedding keepsake to the guests and a selection of presents for the bridesmaids etc\n\nBasically you need photos of every aspect of a wedding from the days before to transporting the presents and flowers to thank people to returning glasses etc after the wedding.\nYou need much more than people skills, you also need amazing organisation skills and be able to juggle 100 things at once and to have all problems sorted on time\n\nOnce you have your portfolio and contacts like hair and make up people (ones that will come to the house are best) you will need business cards made up so you can leave them in jewellers, restaurants, hotels, salons etc\n\nInformation on suitable honeymoon destinations, the different packages hotels provide along with vaccinations and how to change the name on the passports.\nRemeber this may be just a job to you but to the bride and groom including mothers etc this is the most important day of their lives\n\nThere are loads more but this will start you off

It depends on what kinds of things you like to do. Maybe you could hire a performer of some kind and have your own concert (how many times will you be able to do that?) I've heard that some people have almost like a carnival and have psychics giving readings and other acts (you would have to make sure that this was fine with the religions of most of your guests). Could you make the dinner into something fun? Maybe a fondue or have those actions stations where people fry crepes etc? Everybody loves dessert - you could make that a focus. A dessert buffet, a chocolate fountain, carnival candy like candy floss...I know you said dancing isn't your thing, but maybe you could have a professional come in and teach everyone the rudiments of your favorite type of dancing? Or if you're big game players, play games like trivia, pictionary etc.\n\nI hope this helps with your brainstorming and congratulations!

Set a budget first, then a timeframe. Invite reps of all competing teams to a planning meeting well in advance. Be realistic about the money and the time. Set a clear line of goals and a realistic timeframe. Delegate responsibility - fundraising, advertising, sponsorhip, management, catering. awards etc. Have fun. I'm Captain of Kyoto Cricket Club and have been involved in sports management on a number of levels for many years. Have a good 'un!

Basically organizing events, it can be personal events like wedding or birthday parties or corporate events like when some company is going to launch new products, having clients gathering, etc. But it also can be an individual events that are produced by the event management company itself like making a music concert or other commercial events.

Be prepared, Have an agenda - Allow people their say BUT control it so it does not deviate from the main theme. Ask if everyone one knows each other - if not ask for an introduction from each participant to include name and function within company/ business/ meeting - Always appoint someone to take the minutes of the meeting - this you can always refer back. Above all enjoy it and keep it focused.

In addition to the other great ideas already here in Answers, I have one to suggest that usually only lasts a few weeks to a few months.  You could see what group(s) in the community are planning a big event or a fundraiser. They always need help with preparations - anything from making phone calls, picking up items, or even decorating for the event. Make A Wish, Big Brothers & Sisters,  Gilda's House, Junior League.... usually have at least one annual event.  Check your city's website or call the local Chamber of Commerce.\nTo make your volunteer time more enjoyable, incorporate your interests and hobbies. Or,  think about an area you are interested in knowing more about.   Volunteer activities are also great for meeting new people who share your interests.  Think about something you are passionate about. Volunteering gives back to you many times over.   Do something you can put your heart in.
