How 2: DIY Eco-friendly
Party Goodie Bags

It's always fun to go to a party, but what about afterwards when you come home with a bag of silly party favors? When that happens, you feel obliged to find a child to give it to, to take it to the donation center or, worst of all, to throw it away.

As a party host, you have an obligation to be thoughtful in your goodie bag selection. The ladies of Mission 2 Organize are here to guide you towards your intended hostess superstardom.

We will show you how to choose environmentally conscious packaging for the outside and useful goodies to stuff on the inside. With any luck, your guests will gush about the thoughtful treat for years to come. Now, roll up your sleeves, grab your bestie and some bubbles, and let's get started.

3 Party Ideas

for the Kid at Heart

Here at Mission 2 Organize we love to plan, attend and host parties. Parties are fun and bring joy all around. They exist to celebrate, to connect or to simply enjoy life and loved ones. We have many tips on planning and organizing parties right here on our blog. Here are 3 party ideas that can work with just about any occasion or theme!

Cookie Decorating Party

Cookies + Wine = Happiness

We have been invited to many fun cookie parties. The concept is simple but yet so delicious. As the host, you provide the cookies and a variety of decorations such as sprinkles and frosting. Your guests bring the drinks and creativity. This theme makes for great entertainment during the holidays but you can personalize it to any event you want. For sugary finger licking kind of fun, whip up a kid-friendly beverage and change the shape of the cookies to match your child's favorite animal or character. Here are some pictures from the Valentine and Christmas cookie decorating parties that we have attended. Both holidays fall during the cold winter months in Chicago and cookies are an essential part of maintaining happiness around here. The best part is that each guest leaves with plate full of cookies to share and enjoy with friends and family. Cookie decorating parties are a must do for kids and adults alike.

A Message from the Co-founders...

Have you ever been to a party where the host was running around like a chicken with her head cut off? Better yet, have you been that host?

We've been there and done that. It's uncomfortable for your guests. They came there to see you, not your vapor trail! Having a support team made up of your close family members, your best friend or a team like M2O to help you before, during and after your home party is crucial.

Direct these key people to do things like greet people at the door, direct guests to the bar, fill the food bowls when they run low, light the candles as darkness falls, take pictures and check on your pets. When all of these little things are taken care of, you can relax, talk to your guests and maybe even eat some food!

So far, it's been a pretty festive year for house parties for us. Schae hosted her annual Memorial BBQ and Bahar recently hosted a beautiful dinner party in her garden. Appreciatively we have also been invited into many friend's homes for similar affairs. Round up your most interesting friends (including us!) and turn up the liveliness in your living space.
