What Events Can You Plan Last-Minute (and Still Make Epic)?

Even if you're late to the party planning game, there’s still time to book:

  • 🎓 Graduation parties
  • 🧁 Bar/Bat Mitzvahs
  • 🏡 Backyard birthday bashes

How Can I Make a Last-Minute Party Feel Planned?

Here are our top last-minute planning hacks:

Pick a venue with fewer restrictions. Think private backyards, community centers, or event halls that don’t require long lead times.

Go digital for invites. Send e-vites or group texts instead of waiting on paper RSVPs.

Simplify your menu. Food trucks, buffet catering, or even potlucks keep it casual but crowd-pleasing.

Lean on your vendors. We’ve done hundreds of events we’ll help you avoid common mistakes and speed things up.

Can I Still Customize the Experience?

Absolutely. Even in a rush, we offer:

  • Branded or themed photo overlays
  • Custom LED lighting palettes
  • Curated playlists and MC services
  • Instant onsite printing + social sharing stations

A fast plan can still be a fabulous one.
