5 Ways to Invite a Celebrity Guest to your Event



Remember, hearing that a celebrity is being invited as a guest to an event? Didn’t you feel instantly excited to attend it? It is not a common sight that celebrities approach one’s city or town. If he/she's your favourite one, then it is worth it. However, celebrities have their tantrums and stardom that do not allow them to accept every invite. Having said that, there is no denying the fact that approaching a celeb is itself a challenging task. There must be a massive event or a huge promotion campaign to hail the star’s attention. I have organized a plethora of event management companies in Jaipur. During my journey as an event planner in Jaipur, I had the privilege to host some Bollywood stars, sportsperson and artists. Though for calling them, I devised my strategies. Here are a few tips that might be helpful to you too:

Make use of connections: It is like every day that a celebrity turns down a swarm of event proposals. Try connecting with a celebrity through a common contact. It would be more effective. It necessarily has not to be ‘A-List celebrity’, anyone that you think is easily approachable and could help in making the event a big hit.

Be thorough with your research: Knocking on the door with empty hands will not help unless you know the person on the other side. Do background research about the big personality, his interests, and passion and what kind of events he is generally involved in. If he attends a charity event, then it is unlikely that he would agree to a wedding event. You must give them a reason to attend your events.

Be ready to invest: No celebrity comes for free. If you are expecting one, be ready to shell out money. Hold meet-ups, use your contacts and find sponsors. Any event cannot be a great one without an adequate amount of money involved. Based on your purpose and audience size, fix a budget and set aside a part of it for the stars. You don’t have to bargain with the stars as you are not buying fruits or vegetables in the market. Quote a price that suits their stardom and if possible, don’t go too harsh in setting the budget.

Make it a house-full show: Suppose, you are an event planner in Jaipur and you invite a star to contribute for an event. But you failed to make it a house-full show. Wouldn’t the celebrity feel insulted? Sign up the agreement with the celeb and make a loud voice to attract the whole town. Take to social media platforms, do paid promotions, try your best to sell maximum tickets for the event. Let it be a packed-up event. The stars must walk out with a few words of appreciation for the organizers.

Respect their time: Celebrities have plenty of things to do from advertising to entertainment. Considering that they are booked for a limited time, allow them to execute the event at their will. If you will hand them over a specific script, they may not like it that way. You must respect their presence in any case. 

So, if you need a celebrity guest, you may also connect with Event management companies in Jaipur. They have a network that is widespread across the country. Events are no success if we fail to put the efforts and zeal. So, you know, where to start?
