Four Considerations For Planning Scrapbooking Retreats

By Janette Miller


Scrapbook retreats are fun, creative and a relaxing way for girls of all age groups, to unwind and explore their creativeness. Typically they include overnight stays, on the weekend. The price for these retreats can range noticeably when you account for accommodation, scheduled activities, instructors, destinations, plus food and drink. But the good news is you can organize one of these events for yourself and others at a fraction of the price.

First Things First

The first few things you will need to think about when organizing a retreat is space. The location and the amount of visitors. the amount of people attending will determine the amount of space you'll need. If you have got a very big home, then you will be in a position to accommodate a fair number of ladies. If you live in a smaller home or apartment, then you'll only have enough room for probably 3-5 attendees.

The other choice is to hire space. You might rent a cabin or maybe a pleasant suite in a luxury hotel while. Make sure that during the event, there is plenty of room for everybody to lay out all of their materials to be in a position to work easily.

Food

During scrapbook retreats, you and your friends will need to eat so figure out a meal plan. It is best to get everybody's nutritional wishes or preferences beforehand. Decide how the meals will be prepared, acquired or cooked. You'll decide that pizza, Chinese or another kind of delivery will be fine. Or maybe you need to have home-cook meals. Commonly, when meals are cooked during an event, everybody takes turns cooking and then cleaning afterwards.

Supplies

You can supply a majority of the supplies, the fundamentals or have the players bring all of the supplies themselves. If you are providing the supplies, an idea could be to concentrate on a theme for the event, this can also make the shopping much easier for you.

Budget

Finally make sure you have a budget. It's simple to over-spend with scrapbook retreats. The best way to take on this is first jot down the cost of meals, location, supplies and any extra activities that you would like to include. With the itemized list of all your costs, divide the whole amount by the number of visitors so they can each pay for their portion of the costs.
