2022 was an exciting year in events. Planners of all kinds have emerged from a relatively quiet few years, ready to plan bigger and better events. Planners are willing to celebrate more of life's moments, spend more money on the perfect venue, and are looking for bigger spaces to host events in. Their expectations have also increased; planners will no longer settle for some apps, drinks, and music. They are looking for all-inclusive venues that provide experiences for their guests to enjoy.

6. How To Pick the Perfect Gift For the Next Party You Attend
There are many types of parties that you could attend, and bring a gift either for the host or the guest of honor.
For events such as a birthday party, a wedding, bridal, or baby shower, it is common practice to gift items more personal, and often from a registry, since the party is solely dedicated to celebrating one person or couple. Shopping off of a registry eliminates the guesswork of what the guest of honor is in need of. Gift registries are especially helpful if you do not have a close personal relationship with the guest of honor.
