Week #8 3/10-3/12

3/10- today I just did RSVP input work. I entered names into my spreadsheet and the number of people they are bringing. I also made name tags for new brides, and added them to my spreadsheet list. I also had to update my sign in sheet for the brides names for our bridal event.

3/11- today I did filing and double checking of files at the office. I had to make sure each bride has a file. I also had to make sure each folder contained tier wedding contract. If the bride has a wedding that is close then we have to make sure we have her contact because it finalizes that they are set on their wedding being at the barn. The contract also states that the bride has payed in full which is of course very important. My second task today was doing inventory. We have to make sure we have inventory done so that we can make orders for the upcoming wedding season. The venue has many of it's own linens, dishware and glasses so it's important to haw enough for events. Today I counted the table covers and chair covers for vents. I grouped them Into color and size categories. I had to create a list to put these things i counted in order and they will later be placed into a spreadsheet. i also had to organize the material i counted, so everything would be nice and neat for when the wedding season begins.This task took most of my day to finish up.

3/12- Today i first checked the RSVP list and added more people to my list. We also had a new bride book a wedding date so i had to add her to the list. I had to contact one of the vendors who had not yet confirmed as well. I was able to get a hold of her via email and she explained to me she would be coming and her set up needs for the bridal open house. I was able to respond back to her and give her all the information she needed. I also had to make a list of brides who have not yet sent RSVP's back to us. I had to make a list with their names and emails so that my boss is able to keep track. I had to send our invitation email to these brides again as a second reminder. It is important to keep up with the brides because we need to get a estimated head count before the open house to make sure we have enough seating and food for each bride and guest. We also want to make sure we have packets and folders for the brides who will be attending.

3/13- Today i continued working on updating the RSVP list. This now has to be done almost everyday to make sure we have counted all of the brides. It takes a little time because after checking the RSVP i have to input the data into a spreadsheet and then create name tags. We constantly get new brides so my lists are always changing. This really helps me to prepare for a job where i need to be on top of things and very well organized. I also have a routine now, dealing with how i go about my input work so it works best for me and is effective. I also have been doing a little research dealing with organizations in Bloomsburg in which i can inquire to possibly book events at our space. There are some opening on the calender and the Barn often books these to Bloomsburg University related events and town organizations.
