How do you organize a Fashion show funderaiser?

Question

what are some of the things i may need to make this a success ?How many people should i have in the fashion show to make it big? Should i have children as well as women?How much should i sell the tickets for and how many should be printed?What are some of the extra things to accomodate the show?How many tickets should be given to everyone?The cause of the funderaiser is to help a family from foreclosure.Any ideas would be very helpful.

Thank you

Judging by the reason of the fundraising, i assume the fashion show fundraiser is going to be a low-key one, right? Because the cost of a good Venue, models and rental of microphones, lighting and sound/music equipment as well as creating the boarded "runway", banner for the logo of the clothes company as well as printing of the tickets will set you back a VERY BIG amount. Also, not everyone u give tickets to can be expected to turn up. Every 100 tickets sent, u may only expect a turnout of 30%-50%. (unless it's a big branded fashion show.) Some venues charge 3K just for venue rental only.

I'd suggest that you approach a college and get students to model, or relatives and friend's daughters. Rent the hall of a community centre/art gallery and use their sound equipment and lighting. Instead of having to build a runway, you could get models to model around seated guest tables instead. Also, ask a local clothes store if they are willing to participate. Do get them to provide clothes in your model's sizes. Get the clothes a few days in advance so that they can be STEAM-ironed out. Get the models to wear neutral colored heels. Tickets can be printed at a print shop nearby. The smaller d tickets, the cheaper it is. Get it printed on A3 size sheets and cut the tickets to size yourself to save cost. Also, to hire a makeup artist for the day may cost $250, so get models to do their own makeup but advise them according to the clothes picked out. GOOD LUCK!

you could also sell cake slices or drinks at the same time to earn more from the crowd....since it is quite low cost.
