Extra tips from experienced organisers
Set an early registration deadline ('register before 1 May') — this creates urgency and gives you a clearer headcount sooner.
Create a separate WhatsApp group for people who have already registered. It builds anticipation and drives extra engagement.
Send your invitation on a Tuesday afternoon — research shows emails get opened most frequently then.
Plan at least 1.5 hours of 'free time'. People want to catch up — that's the whole point of the evening.
Put out name badges at the entrance (optionally with an old photo). It breaks the ice enormously.
