Of course this would be an event people would pay to come to. I have no background in event planning, advertising, or anything, all I have is the idea and a good bit of cash. My only thought is to go to a promoter or some event planning company, but I am afraid they will steal my idea. How do I make my idea a reality?

You have a coupe options. You can go to a company and have a contract in hand to make sure your idea is a good one and will not be taken. Remember every idea will be duplicated in someway or another, there’s just no getting around it. However patent it or copy right it so it cant be duplicated 100%. Or you can go to a college hire some event planner that just about graduated to help. It would be a great grade for them as well. It’s your idea so protect it.

Good Luck!

Or is it still shown to other people on their wall, or on their events? What does making the event private do? And How can I keep it private in all aspects?

One thing you can do is find the status update that’s created by the event on your profile page, and click the option to remove the update about the event. This way, it will be taken out of the feed for other people, and will only be a notification to the people you’ve invited. Hope this works and hope this helps

I’m just wondering if I should just put 1 sentence to summarize the event or I should put it more in detail. I’m not sure which one is right.
If you have an internet source I would really appreciate it.

The more work you do BEFORE you actually start writing it the better it will be.

First just keep it as a short sentence.

Then expand give more detail and turn each sentence into a paragraph.

Work each paragraph into about a page long.

The key is to give more and more useful information each time.

I just need to know what was one of the most important event in Canada regarding the arts in 1950. Any help will be appreciated.

I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for, however, it is the only mention of art I found other then television was invented in 1950.

Pop Art used the iconography of television, photography, comics, cinema and advertising. With its roots in dadaism, it started to take form towards the end of the 1950s when some European artists started to make the symbols and products of the world of advertising and propaganda the main subject of their artistic work. This return of figurative art, in opposition to the abstract expressionism that dominated the aesthetic scene since the end of World War II was dominated by Great Britain until the early 1960s when Andy Warhol, the most known artist of this movement began to show Pop Art in galleries in the United States. Also:

I guess I’d like to know more about this in case I ever decide to run a business of it in the future if I don’t end up liking my field. Just curious.

i am a wedding planner, have been for years. the money is okay but not consistant. an average wedding these days costs about 10,000 to 20,000 and if your client chooses to engage you for the entire wedding, you make about 10% of the total cost. there is a great deal of work involved in it as you have to spend about 6 months to one year working on a wedding for a total income of 2000 dollars, unless of course you become very famous like david tutera.

most of the time, you are employed only for the day of which is a much lesser fee, normally from 300 to 500 dollars. so the only way to really make any money is if you build up your business to the point of having at least two weddings every weekend, which is very very hard to do.

with todays online helps, most brides are doing their own wedding planning so you have to expand to doing all sorts of events. i have done everything from birthdays and anniversaries to weddings and funerals.

it is difficult to get into the business as well. most towns and cities have people who are already established in the wedding planning business so new comers find it hard and expensive and time consuming to break into the business. you must have an angle that others do not offer. for instance, i specialize in destination and theme weddings. i have authentic wedding traditions from every time period from ancient egyptian to the 1950′s, authentic recipes for wedding food, and authentic wedding clothing.

i had to learn and know how to manage things like visas and passports for destination weddings and how to find vendors like photographers and wedding officiants in other countries. knowledge of legal matters like local laws and ordinances, how to apply for marriage licenses all over the world and insurance issues are all part of what you must know.

of course, experience helps to build this knowledge but it is tough to get started. you can take courses online or via mail which help, but old fashioned hard work is the best teacher. if you decide to do it, start out part time because it will take a couple of years to build up to enough business to live on it.
