Need a Business Name

[Aimz]

Ok so I've been talking to DH today - and doing plenty more daydreaming and we have decided that the event/party planning business is the end goal - but probably too huge to start with.

I always planned to incorporate my love of invitation design and creation into the business as a branch. We have decided to start with this initially. We will register the business under the event planning name but will start with an internet based invitation business (enticeinvitations.com.au is a perfect example of what I would like to do).

SO!!

Need a name for the invitation business!! Please help! What would catch your eye? What are some good words that represent style, elegance, sophistication and also fun.

I know its probably a bit corny... but going by a recent theme...

"As you Wish"

Invitation to Party.
Invitation to a Party.
I Do Invitations.
I Do Invitations & Events.

Off the top of my head. I will try to think of some more when my darling little girl stops biting my hand and pinching my legs. GRRRR.

Ok I think I am going to use my name as the business name but I have a new dilemma. The plan is to one day have my own event management company but that is a LOOOONG way off from become a reality. The stationery business would be a branch off this company, however it is the business I am going to start with. The start up costs are a lot smaller and I can run this business as well as working full time in my current job.

SO.....

Should I register the Business as "Amy Sarah Event Management" with "Amy Sarah Stationery Boutique" as the website name (trading under the event management name) OR should I just register the business as "Amy Sarah Stationery Boutique" and change the name later when/if the event management business gets off the ground?

Why dont you just register a business under just your name, and then when it takes off or you have made your fina decision register a trading name.

My business is just my name... Didnt cost me anything this way as i just applied for an ABN under my name and then i automaticaly was registered as a business and a tranding name...
if it gets bigger then i have a new trading name and actually pay the fee then

Your website can have any name as long as when you invoice you also include your name and the ABN as well as what the website is called

HTH

Thanks Sammie - I didn't know that I could register for free if I just use my name!! That's fantastic and you're right - I can just make sure that all invoices are made out to me and my ABN.

Thanks so much!!
