Using social media to advertise your event is one of the best ways you can advertise your event, there are many benefits of using social media to advertise your event and you are likely to get a much bigger reach than traditional advertising and it can be a fairly inexpensive way to advertise.
The first thing you should do is start posting about your event to get the momentum going. Offer snippets of information on your business page or any groups that allow you too.
Once you have established all of your event details you should now set up your event on Facebook, you should do this by using the events feature on Facebook. Once you have created your event you should share with your current following on your business page, personal and groups that allow it.
Next, you will need to share your event wherever you can. Ask local advertising pages or local media pages such as newspapers or radio pages if you are allowed to share your event on their Facebook page.

New rules for weddings from 4th July
The strict lockdown restrictions are starting to ease from the 4th July, following months of cancelled weddings and parties we have been given the green light from our government that weddings can resume safely from the 4th of next month but there are still rules in place.
In a statement from gov UK the following has been stated;
“From 4 July, weddings and civil partnerships will be allowed to take place. You should only invite close friends and family, up to a maximum of 30 people. The wedding exception is for wedding ceremonies only. Large wedding receptions or parties should of course not be taking place. Wedding celebrations can only happen when people follow the guidance of six people outdoors, support bubbles, or two households indoors or outdoors. It is critical for these guidelines to be observed to keep you and your family and friends as safe as possible.”
So, although weddings will be able to go ahead very soon these must be kept to minimum people and friends and family only from your support bubble. We are hopeful that by August/September the restrictions may ease even more.

‘Sweet 16’ birthdays in the UK
You’ve probably heard of the term ‘sweet 16’ but it’s not often mentioned in the UK unless you’re watching an American high school movie! That said, a teen’s 16th birthday is a big deal, and there are lots of ways to celebrate it in style. Most 16-year-olds opt for a disco or party and hire out a venue such as a bar or a club on a weekend. Others choose to have a meal with their friends, whilst there are some 16-year-olds who head to music gigs specifically aimed at under-18s. All of these are good options but parents should have caution with all of them. There are temptations to drink alcohol even at that age, and while the bar workers will not serve it to minors, perhaps a friend of a friend who is of age, is willing to buy it from a shop, so you do need to keep your wits about you as a parent. And don’t believe the term ‘sweet 16’.
60th Birthday Ideas
With retirement in sight, 60 is one of the most celebrated years. We feel every 60 year old deserves a big party to enjoy with their loved ones and here are just a few ideas if you’re planning a 60th for your parent or grandparent.
Classic Disco
Reliving those classic tunes from the 60s or 70s is a great idea. With the right music, you can feel like you’ve stepped back in time, and most of the classic hits are so popular the younger generations know them too.
Family Meal
A close-knit family meal in a lavish restaurant is always a good option for a 60th, especially those that include entertainment after. This is a nice option for any 60th birthday party.
Bowling
Not the first idea that comes to mind for a 60th birthday, but there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be considered. Bowling is a great way to interact with the family, and show that you’ve got plenty of energy and fun times ahead!
