Oh no, it's matric farewell season!

Planning your farewell doesn’t have to be a stress-fest
A step-by-step guide to making sure everything goes off without a hitch.

So, the end is near, and it’s officially matric farewell season. Feeling overwhelmed? Don't worry; planning a smooth matric farewell doesn’t have to be a stress-fest. Here’s your step-by-step guide to making sure everything goes off without a hitch.

1. Start early: Do not wait until the last minute! Begin planning several months in advance. This gives you time to lock in a venue for photos or your family get together, schedule your photo shoot, and plan the after-party. Early planning also helps you snag those popular dates and services.

2. Set a budget: Money matters! Figure out your budget for everything - from the photographer and make-up artist to the dress or suit and the fancy entrance car. Remember to work with what you have! Shop around for quotes and compare prices. Remember, the same shoe might be cheaper elsewhere, so do not settle for the first option you see.

3. Start booking: Once you’ve got your budget, start booking those essential services. Lock in your photographer, hairstylist, make-up artist and nail tech by putting down deposits. This way, you avoid the last-minute scramble and ensure you have your dream team ready to go.

4. Select your design and look: Your style might evolve, but booking and securing your designer early is crucial. Aim to finalise your designer five months before the big day. Be upfront with your designer about what you want - no room for tears on your special day!

5. Finalise details: A week before the event, double-check everything. Confirm appointments, finalise your outfit, and make sure all services are set. Have a back-up plan in case of unexpected issues like weather changes or last-minute cancellations.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have a matric farewell that’s smooth and memorable. The secret to a great event? Preparation and communication!
