Lock policy before creative

Refund rules, table sizes, and sponsor benefits should be written before the invite design. Development should not invent policy in the comment thread of a proof. Executive Directors own that lock.

Day-of roles

  • Box office lead
  • Donor greet lead (not the same person)
  • Volunteer shift lead (SignUpGo roster)

After-party metrics

Track comps, no-shows, and door exceptions. Those numbers improve next year’s holdback policy more than a vibe-based debrief.

Reserved seating for school plays, galas, and community venues — with human setup.
