You may not have thought of this as an option, but if you feel daunted by the task of finding a caterer or event planner to hire - or if you're looking to find someone who will simply guide you, helping you to produce your own party yourself - you could use Twitter.

To find a caterer or event planner, your first step would be to set up a Twitter user account.

I suggest that you also check out a guide written by Michael Hyatt, a "power Twitter user" friend of mine at Twitter (with over 16,000 followers), called "The Beginner's Guide to Twitter", a useful guide for any Twitter beginner.

Once signed up, you'll find many caterers and event planners are using Twitter. After conducting a targeted search, you'll notice that there are party industry professionals listed from various cities all over the world.

You never know, using Twitter - you just might hit pay dirt, finding the perfect caterer or event planner for your celebration. Or, you maybe you'll find a catering or event planning professional who will help you by guiding you through catering or planning your party yourself.

Here are three tools that canhelp you locate Twitter followers by profession or professional interests:

• TweepSearch - the same person that crated this Twitter app also created TweetStats

• TwitterRel

• Twellow - brought to you by WebProNews

Twitter is free, so all that it will cost you is a little bit of your time.
