Special Events Bloopers

Blooper No. 6: Mayhem in line
In most circumstances, it is best NOT to separate registration lines by the beginning letter of the guests’ last names. Have staff situated in the registration area to let guests know when lines open up (most guests will automatically go to the line closest to the entrance even though there might be open lines further away). Confirm that an adequate number of parking attendants will be available both before and after the event to park and retrieve cars for guests. Set up as many food and drink stations as possible throughout the space (this does not necessarily mean there will be more food and drink — you can have more stations with less at each station).
