What can make YOUR party, THE party

So, here's the scenario. You wake up after a night of fun out at a friend's party, and you're laying in bed reminiscing about how amazing the previous night was. What do you first think of?The food and drinks? The music? The venue? Or was it just everything in one that you couldn't even pick?

There's so much that goes into planning a party that most people don't know. Of course there's the food, drinks, and music but what about the presentation of everything? The food can't be one side of the room, and the table all the way on the other. The DJ can't be where the tables are and the dance floor be no where close. The atmosphere of the party really gets things started. It sets the mood of how people first react when they come in, and for how the rest of the night goes. The people that come to the party is also a crucial factor of how the event turns out. No one wants boring,quiet, and shy guest but no one also wants loud, obnoxious guest. The ideal guest would be fun, easy going,and pleasant. The music has to fit the feel of the room as well. You wouldn't be playing loud, headbanger songs if you're having a nice retirement cocktail party right? Right. The music you would be playing would be soothing to the ears.

Party planners everywhere, whether it's your first or hundredth party that you're planning know(or at least should know), that even the smallest detail could make the biggest impact on how the party turns out. I hope that this may have helped someone.

Cupcakes and Cocktails

Ladies Night is always a lot of fun and giggles when the ladies get together. I decided to host one for a group of ladies that felt like they needed one day out of the month to just relax and be around other diverse women as themselves. I came up with the theme Cupcakes and Cocktails because nothing is better than having a gourmet cupcake and a fun cocktail drink.

I picked the color palette of pink,black and white to be that pop of color for the room. Of course the cupcakes were the center of attention. I decided to get a variety of different ones to match the personalities of all the ladies. We even took the Wii out and had a great time trying to figure out how to play the game.

Here are a few pictures we took of that great night. ENJOY

Night Club Themed Retirement Party

I had the honor of creating a fabulous Retirement Party for a lady that was retiring from the Coast Guard after 20 years. When we spoke it was like an automatic connection since her name also was Tricia. I thought that was just fate to work with someone with the same name. She expressed to me that she wanted her event to be fun with a lot of dancing, intimate seating and a great ambiance of color and lights.

I took her thoughts and created a Miami Chic Night Club theme. It worked out perfect and she was speechless. The color pallette we chose was purple and lime green.We took that information and created fabulous layout, which ended up being a night she would always remember.

Take a peek into the room and ENJOY!
