I enjoy party planning immensely. I don't like the hours, money investment, and clean up afterwards.
So while planning an upsherin I realized that specializing in such things would work for me. All of the above have better hours, less cleanup time cause its mostly disposables and and allow for more decorations which I enjoy. Id be in contact with a florist, bakery and order all the supplies as well. The customer would choose from the themes I have done previously (which ill have pics of) or choose any other.
Why would you yes or not go with something like this?

You do realize that party planning requires an investment?

the code is that since she doesn't like doing it for her own events [recent upsherin] - she thought it would be a lucrative business to help others that are in a similar situation ... it's always easier to plan someone else's party - most especially if you turn it into a financial gain

that being said - nopes - I generally stick with my own ideas & could do all those things by myself & probably without the overhead cost of hiring a party planner

Sorry for not being clear.
I love making my own simchos!!
I dont like the cleanup and investment of doing simchos sweet tables with real dishes. Like a vort bar mitzvah etc. where you need to come pick up your crystals, bowls etc... they can break.

Also simchos like these require aft setup time or erev shabbos and yt when all the simchos generally happen.

Doing bday parties on the other hand, allows for less formal decorations and things that can be thrown away. (No glass displays etc) I would have real vases and odd and ends but it's usually not so hard to clean up.. and the timing is not so limited.

Unless you enjoy doing these things yourself, you wouldnt necessarily go all out to order ceiling and wall decorations, flowers and matching baked goods. Having somone do all the work for you allows you to have a nicely decorated simcha without doing all the heavy planning and ordering.

Am I being clearer now?

I think it's a great idea. I personally don't hire party planners (I'm too cheap Very Happy

) but there are people who are overwhelmed at the amount of work that goes into a simcha and do hire one.

You would have to realize, however, that limiting yourself like this will mean less calls. Not as many people go all out for upsherins and birthdays as for vorts, barmitzvahs, etc.
