Planning a Special Memorial in Seattle

Planning a funeral service or celebration is never an easy task. The emotional process affects the choices you make, but by keeping a few things in mind, you can choose a memorial service location that reflects the tone of the event and helps you honor your loved one in the best way possible.

Book the Best Memorial Service Space – Giggster's search filters can help you find a lovely setting for your celebration of life event based on location, price, and features. Choose a park or outdoor space if you have many guests, a house if you are only inviting family, or a hotel if you prefer to continue the celebration through the weekend.

Create an Event Program – While gathering with those you care about provides enough solace, it helps to have an event program. Schedule time to share stories and live through the memories by watching home videos of your loved one.

Hire Rentals – You might need tables, chairs, tents, and other rentals. It's helpful if the venue provides them, but if not, rent them early enough. Negotiate a deal that covers delivery, setup, and teardown with the rental company.

Take Photos – A celebration of life gathers family, friends, and other loved ones, presenting the perfect opportunity to take photos. Hire a professional if you have the budget, or remember to assign someone the task.

How to Save Money on a Memorial in Seattle

Giggster can help you find low-cost memorial spaces in Seattle. That is the first approach to save money when putting together a celebration of life, and here are other suggestions to help you plan a beautiful, commemorative, and cost-effective event.

Invite fewer guests.

A small guest list can reduce catering and venue costs because you won't need a large and often more costly space, and you can order less food. It's well in order to invite only family and closest friends, making it an intimate and more meaningful celebration.

Plan a potluck-style event.

Food can easily make you overshoot your budget, and planning a potluck-style event is one of the best ways to lower your budget. It depends on the location because restaurants might require you to buy food on-site as a requirement to lease the space. Therefore, remember this when booking a venue for your celebration of life event.

Send digital invitations.

If you are hosting many guests and need to send out invites, skip printing. Send emails or create a social media event specifically for the occasion. A phone call also works perfectly fine, followed by a text message reminder to RSVP.
