Puppy Party Planning and Logistics
I’m having my next "Gear Up, Pup! Party" at my house tomorrow. Coincidently, the name is not related to my International Geared Up Pup title, but rather the nature of the party. I started the parties in 2017 to give pups a safe place to get into gear and have fun in headspace. They are all instructed to "gear up" as soon as they walk in the door.
Planning for each party takes a few weeks and keeping my house organized for all the guests is a big challenge.
I don’t leave things to the last minute like I did when I was younger. I burned myself too many time on deadlines and loss of sleep, so I do my best to plan way ahead of time and take care of one detail at a time every day.
I don’t think we are born with the ability to plan things; we just have to try it a few times before we figure out all the tiny details needed to plan a party, a trip, a vacation, or a big event. All those tiny details are collectively referred to as “logistics.”
Every time I throw one of my parties I find out something new that I overlooked. As different guests attend I discover more of their needs or desires and how to better account for them next time.
If you are dissatisfied with the number of parties in your area then you should plan your own. You won’t get it right the first time, but I’m sure those you invite will be happy just being involved. Ask for feedback about the party you throw and make the next one even better.
The world needs more puppy parties.
