Should I consider event planning templates for my projects?

Planning an event can feel hard.

We’ve all been there at the beginning of a new event project. You think to yourself: where do I start? What should I do first? Organising an event in a way that is streamlined and efficient can be a challenge, particularly when you’re new to events. A smart event planner will find ways to save time and effort wherever they can.

At Event Kit, we know that our event planning templates are a valuable solution. We use them, we design them and we sell them. Here, we’re explore why we love planning with templates and run through the many advantages of working with event planning templates.

Templates will make you super-efficient.

Templates encourage efficiency. Starting from scratch each time is not a wise way to run a project. When you redesign your event planning documents and spreadsheets for every event project or proposal you waste valuable time and money. Instead, focus your time and energy on creating content and completing tasks.

Benefits of using event templates.

Here are 10 great reasons you should use templates when planning an event: 

1. Templates increase flexibility

You might be surprised to learn that templates actually increase flexibility. We think of our event templates as pre-made foundations for you to build on. They provide a ready-to-use starting point. You have the flexibility to build it and style it with whatever suits you best.

2. They are easy to use

Templates offer a user-friendly format that simplifies the event planning process. Even if you're new to event management, event templates help you to navigate through the process effortlessly, allowing you to create a comprehensive event plan without any steep learning curve.

3. Provide consistency and uniformity

Templates ensure a consistent appearance and structure across event planning materials and plans, conveying professionalism and coherence. Maintaining a consistent appearance and structure across your event planning materials is essential. Templates help convey a sense of coherence and reliability to your team and stakeholders.

4. Reduce rework time

Having templates ready to go means that you don’t have to waste time building or creating event plans from scratch. Just use the templates you need according to your needs, and use them over and over again!

5. Speed-up development time

Templates are the perfect solution when you need to get an event plan or proposal out quickly. Imagine being up and running with a new event within 15 minutes with a selection of templates. 

6. They apply best practice methods

When designed by event professionals, like Event Kit, templates are based on proven industry best practices, saving you from the guesswork. Our templates are meticulously crafted to include elements that enhance attendee engagement, logistical efficiency, and overall event success - helping you create experiences that align with industry standards.

7. Let you focus on what’s really important

Another huge plus is that you can now spend time focusing on the event content and less on how to make a presentation look good. With templates handling design aspects and providing a solid foundation for you to build on, event planners can concentrate on core event elements such as content and logistics.

8. Great way to ensure effective content and good design

Templates provide structure while allowing for creative design exploration. Actually, we’d go so far to say templates don't just provide structure; they ignite your creativity. With various design options readily available, you can explore different visual approaches that resonate with your event's theme and purpose.

9. They are a great source of inspiration

Templates eliminate the need to design documents from scratch, offering a range of design ideas. The key is you have different design ideas ready-to-go in the tip of your fingers. This way you can put together a quick and great looking event plan or proposal without a lot of thought about the design.

10. Reduce your number of mistakes

Let’s face it, we make mistakes when we are bored, such as drawing up lines and cutting-and-pasting between spreadsheets and documents. Templates prevent mistakes by enforcing a consistent essential content that is ready to go.

RACHELLA SAYS

Imagine being up and running with your new event in just 15 minutes. It’s entirely possible when you plan an event with templates! That’s the competitive advantage of working with event planning templates!

Wrap up.

The advantages of using event planning templates extend far beyond just saving time and effort. Templates foster consistency in your planning process, making sure no crucial detail is overlooked. Moreover, they enhance collaboration among your team members. With a standardised template, everyone can be on the same page and build from the same foundation, contributing to a seamless event planning experience.

Make sure you have the right template for your project

Not all templates are the same, and sometimes using the wrong template can have really negative impacts on your work. Finding templates that are perfect for your specific event or project is important. If you find a template and then that template doesn’t have a lot of required sections, you’ll probably feel annoyed. Remember that a template should support you and be right for your event type and scope.
