Event Planning Checklist: Using a Decor Schedule

As part of your event planning checklist, be sure to develop a decor schedule (aka decor plan). It will aid in your overall event planning, while also keeping you organized.

Once you’ve found the location for your event and developed your theme, it is time to develop your decor schedule. A decor schedule is a breakdown of what you plan to use for decorations, where you plan to place them in your event space, and who is providing the item (if using outside vendors).

The decor schedule ties with your event floor plan but is specific to decor – unlike the floor plan which maps out table placement, food stations, entertainment area, etc.

Here is an example of a decor schedule that  the design firm Reform-Creative developed for the New York Junior League Bags and Bubbles event. Use this as a guide for your own decor schedule.

Cynthia Greenberg

I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t helping out with a fundraiser or planning a party, whether it was charity leagues in junior high school or fundraisers in high school. I pursued marketing in college as I loved how many exciting roles were covered under one umbrella. It opened the door for me to pursue PR, communications and events. I found a career that is the perfect balance of exactly who I am – creative and detailed. As a public relations and marketing/communications executive with over 15 years of experience, event planning has been at the core of much of my work. I’ve planned everything from a 2,000 person corporate gala to company retreats, charitable auctions and intimate cocktail parties. Event planning is a passion. When I’m not working my day-job as the head of PR/communications, I dedicate my time to the New York Junior League as well as other charitable organizations. (For my full bio, please see LinkedIn.) Happy to talk social and charitable events with you anytime! Drop me a line at cynthia@redcarpetrollout.com.
