With the onset of women’s day, many colonies and companies want to organise special events for them to enjoy and celebrate this holiday. It is necessary to appreciate women for their wins and overcoming immense challenges set in this patriarchal society. One can use many strategies like selling woman’s day magazine subscriptions, customised t-shirts, and more to promote the idea and make the event more authentic. It is necessary to host the best influencers at the party, not just from social media, but the best achievers in society as well.
Here are some ways to host women’s day events with the perfect setting, people, and activities.
Decor:
Hosting a women’s day event does not mean one must make the event feminine. It is easy to choose pink and soft aesthetics, but that only takes power away. One must be sensitive while picking the theme and colour code to suit the event and not the gender stereotype. Choose simple decorations like for any other event and ensure keeping it light.
One way to decorate positively is by setting a colour code for all the invitees to follow or a theme that does not restrict them to colour. Decorate elegantly by not going all extravagant, but do so based on the event itself. Regular party favourites like streamers and balloons are alright if the party deems it necessary.
Workshops:
Invite performers and artists to conduct workshops based on the event. Women’s day events are easy to dismiss since most people choose sewing or painting, considered highly feminine. One must not select the workshop based on how masculine or feminine it might be but instead on how the women would like to participate.
Pottery, woodwork, and other similar workshops are rad. But do not forget that choosing feminine workshops does not mean weakness or femininity. There is no gender to learn new things. It could also be related to literature or educational teaching based on the event’s theme. A whole woman-oriented workshop will teach the audience better and push them to indulge in the activities.
Speeches:
Speeches are a part of every official event, and they are even better at women’s day events. Ensure choosing the right people to speak at the event since many speakers have differing thoughts that may create clashes. One can host a panel of successful male and female speakers for a specific topic to support and contest against each other. Choose the subject based on the event and educate the audience better about both sides of the coin.
Speakers from famous or influential backgrounds can motivate the audience to donate or support causes to navigate the path better. Ensure that people with a positive spirit and energy support the event and will not cause any backlashes later.
Shops and Flea Market:
Small businesses owned by women can profit majorly by hosting stalls at this event. Women can purchase woman’s day magazine subscriptions to stay updated on similar events and women’s achievements in society. They also find out about women related articles in the magazines that help them find better shops or products for themselves.
Organise flea markets for general items like candles, soaps, and other options to appeal to the attendees. These homemade or industrial woman-run businesses can thrive using such events as a platform to endorse their companies. It is necessary to use only women to promote the idea further and invest in their growth from the very beginning. Remember, each contribution counts, and every gesture motivates women to perform better.
