How to Plan a Flea Market for CharityIn Feburary 2016 27,

Plan where the money will come from. Some flea markets for charity collect a per table or per space fee from the vendors. Others charge a percentage of profits from all sales. The first method works better to get a certain amount of money. The second method does not work if the vendors are not honest.
Decide what you can provide to the flea market vendors who come to sell for charity. Does your location have enough room for everyone to set up? Can you provide a table or booth to each one? Organize the space you have into neat, navigable rows for easy shopping.
Determine what the flea market vendors are allowed to sell. Church charity events may not like the vendors to sell pagan related items. Adult items, swords and knives, and fireworks may be illegal to sell in your area. Be clear about your guidelines when selling table or booth space.
Advertise to attract vendors to the flea market. Without them, your flea market for charity will not collect any money. Take out an attractive, eye-catching advertisement in local newspapers. Post flyers or signs at the shops, community center, library, and schools. Put a large sign outside your establishment to advertise that a flea market for charity will be held there soon.

How to Start a Party Planning BusinessIn Feburary 2016 07,

In Feburary 2016 07,
Team up with an experienced party planner to gain experience and learn the trade before you start your own business. Alternatively, you can offer your services for free a few times, so you can get experience and build a portfolio. Enlist family and friends if you're not confident and then request feedback from them.
Decide how you will charge for your services. Most party planners work by the hour or request a flat fee (which can go up into the thousands). Others charge 5 to 10 percent of the party budget.
Build a portfolio. Take photographs of the events you coordinate and request testimonials from satisfied clients.
Understand food and beverage. As a party planner, you should be able to do everything from putting together a martini bar to planning a menu for a tropical-themed party. You will also need to develop good working relationships with catering companies, vendors and suppliers.
Know all about entertainment choices. From karaoke equipment and magicians to disc jockeys and live bands, you should be able to scout out all types of entertainers. Depending on the type of event, you may have to organize tournaments or contests, games and even auctions. Preparing party favors and gift bags may also be part of the job.

How to Host a Card PartyIn Feburary 2016 02,

Invite your friends. Send invitations to your card party at least 2 weeks in advance. Include the time, date and location of your party in your invitation along with a single face card from a deck of cards. You can use these cards to divide your guests into groups.
Purchase prizes. Everyone loves to get a prize when they win a game, and it is no different with cards. Prizes don't have to cost a lot of money and can be as simple as a new deck of cards or candy.
Decide on the games. There are so many card games you could play, but you really need to narrow it down to about three. Make sure that the games you choose are ones that everyone knows, or can learn quickly, and will fit into the time frame of your party. You may decide to play only one card game, but do it in tournament style.
Have the rules available for all games. Print off the rules for each game you will play. Having these handy will keep participants from having to ask questions. Each table of players can refer to their own set of printed rules. Rules for card games often come with the deck but can also be downloaded online.
Set up tables. Set your party tables up with enough room to maneuver around them. It is a good idea to make sure that the tables you use have room for people to place their drinks, or that there is a table nearby for them to set a beverage.
Put up decorations. No party is complete without a few decorations. You can find card themed decorations at any party store and even online. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, simply make your own decorations by using an old deck of cards. Cards can be used as centerpieces, as garland and even as place cards with your guests' names.
Prepare refreshments. Having refreshments for your party will definitely please the crowd. You can ask guests to bring their favorite snack food or drink, or you can do it yourself. Peanuts and pretzels are good munchies on a small budget.
