“Film Production Management 101” has a checklist for a wrap party so you can remember all the elements necessary to plan an excellent, memorable wrap party. I’ve always thought planning a wrap party was much like planning a wedding reception, but done much faster. Let’s have a look:
| WRAP PARTY | WEDDING |
| Invitation list & invitations | Invitation list & invitations |
| Party Room | Church & Reception Venue |
| Decor (of Room) | Decor (of Room, Church & Bridal Party) |
| Music | Music |
| Other Entertainment (Wrap Reel, etc.) | Wedding Photographer |
| Catering and Bar | Catering and Bar |
| License (for Bar) | Marriage License |
| Notifications (Police, Fire, Health…) | Newspaper Notifications (if desired) |
Soooo… it looks as though if you’re thinking of getting married, your experience planning wrap parties – or at least my Wrap Party Checklist – will do you well! I know I’ll be using it. 😉
