Looks like a 100% agreement in the " NO" catagory.
Obviously people in Palm Beach, Fla. and Beverly Hills< Ca. don't partake in polls.

Huh? I clicked the results and my screen said the first 3 choices were even at 33% each.
I think It's rigged.

It said my vote was not added since i had already voted on one of the polls - however, it was my 1st time at the site.
I would vote no at this time due to finances.

PS - I thought you said, "Can you guys help me out without taking a poll?" which I thought was really funny.

How oddly strange that some of you couldn't vote.  I am very sorry about that!
Tom K- I am in Central WI, where the closest "cities" are Wausau & Stevens Point.
Anyway, I have been toying with the idea of becoming a Special Occasions Decorator, but need to start out with something small, like childrens birthday parties. Eventually I would like to work my way up to Anniversaries, First Communions, Sweet 16, Holiday & Adult themed parties (NO, not THAT kind  ).
I am researching right now, but this all feels right to me because it's something I love doing and does not take me longer than 2 hours to do (decorating for a kids party). I'd come in, set up and and leave. The clients get to keep the decor, and the kids would get to take a themed activity home with them.

It said my vote didn't count,but I voted no. that's not to say that there aren't people out there that would. People pay to have just about anything done so they don't have to do it themselves. Case in point, my wife has a housekeeping crew come in. Toilets? We don't clean no stinkin' toilets!

I voted and the results say all answers are 25%. What's up with that? I really don't think it is possible for every answer to be even.

What I am trying to get at is..........is $100.00 enough?
My neice just threw a party for my sister.......a hugh party, but I helped her decide the theme, buy the decorations (many stores involved and repeat trips with swatches of material), order the food and cake, pick it up, decorate the hall, present the food, and later the clean up. There are so many steps involved, even with a very small party.
I think party planning is the next big craze and will be worthwhile, but how involved do you plan to get?

Donna, I hope you dont think my post was aimed at you....I was just busting Mels chops and letting her know how I would vote.
I agree that $100 is not enough, if you have to buy the material and spend two hours setting it up...$100 is not enough!

That sucks, because I could hook you up with some of the families on the North Shore. They would pay and well...the mentality there is if it doesn't cost a lot, it must not be good. Works for me because I can get $175-190 per person for a 3 course dinner! It's nice being a caterer on the North Shore!!!
You can start at $100 to get your name out there, but after a few parties, the rates go up. Set your hourly rate around $60, include all of your time on the event, i.e.; trips to the store, driving time included, set up and talking to the people the event is for. Mark up everything you purchase at least 15%, including gas and incidentals. You will do fine, but remember to grow as quick as you need to. What I mean is don't get over your head, and don't stretch yourself too thin. It will come together, it will just take some time and determination to get your name recognized...then the world is your oyster!! Good Luck and let us know how it goes!! If you need any advise, just let me know, I'll be glad to help you out any way you need!

I got the same message
Sean.....................................
edit to add, picking up all the stuff,, setup, and cleanup Mel is worth 250-300. All material expenses are extra.
Sounds like a cool small business venture, definately target the yuppies, anything blue collar they run away from. They'd spend 500+ to go to a kids resturaunt/small hall to have them do it for them. I like it, I'm gonna suggest that idea to the wife, I think your on to something bigtime
Edit 2, Barbara says they're adds are all over our local paper, its 200-250 for a "tea party", and 300-400 for a "birthday party".
