MH Warsaw

We at MH Warsaw just love to organize events! The process of discussing the cuisine or deciding who to invite for a lecture is usually almost as much fun as the event itself ;)
But even the best planned event without any guests is like a plant without water. There are many ways to invite people but only a few both work and give satisfying results.
Going around the streets and inviting random people what probably make our events the biggest in the MH family but it's not what we're after, is it? On the other hand choosing who to invite to rigorously would make them elite but to small.
Before you decide what method of inviting people to pursue, you should think how big an event you want to organize. If it's between three and ten (not counting MH residents) probably the best way to invite them personally. This gives you an opportunity to choose people by hand at the same time guaranteeing that you will know who will come. It has another advantage - people like being invited, it makes them feel special.
If your goal is ten - twenty people the best way to achieve it is by sending mail. It’s still somewhat personal but much easier than to call everyone.
When you organize medium sized event it's not important that everyone invited will come so a mailing list fits perfectly.
Last but not least if you want to organize a big event the best way to do so is through facebook. I don't think I have to explain this one :)
We also often (for medium and big events) invite members of the Polish Jewish Youth Organization of which we're all members through their forums and sometimes mailing list.
