What's your back up plan?

As we recover from a terrible winter storm here in Cleveland, it made me wonder how many of you have back up plans in place for your events, in case of bad weather.  Unfortunately, a lot of people don't think about weather ruining their perfect party.  The forces of nature never rsvp.  They can be a very unexpected guest that can derail everything.

When you start planning your event be sure to also have a contingency plan or a plan b.  If it rains, will you be able to reschedule or move your venue indoors.  Can an alternate venue handle all your attendees?  You may want to look at it as planning for two events at the same time.

What if the weather keeps your guests from arriving on time?  Will you delay your start time?  These are just some of the questions you should consider when planning your next event.  Remember, having the proper contingency plan in place will save you a lot of time and heartache.
