Let's Make A Deal: Contracts

Now that you have a business plan in place, it is time to practice writing an event contract and perfecting your negotiation skills.

In your event contract, it will be important to identify the following:

- Date, time, and location of party

- Brief description of party project

- Cost

- Deadlines for payment

- What is included in fee (such as decorations, music, etc.)

- What is NOT included in fee (such as food, etc.)

- How conflicts/problems will be resolved
