{event strategy} Holiday Parties by the Numbers!     

It's a Wrap Holiday Party - savory snacks What's in a number? A lot, if you are hosting a holiday cocktail party!

 
Want to know how much food to serve, how much ice to buy, how many glasses to rent and more?  Check out my "numbers" cheat sheet  ... developed over the years from the wisdom shared by preferred vendors and rental companies.


Knowing your numbers will ensure that you have sufficient food and drinks and subsequently, that your guests will have an enjoyable party experience! 

{event design} Clever Disguise Holiday Party

Planning corporate holiday parties can be tricky; they must be festive, not offensive. Over the years, I've produced many non-traditional holiday parties including a fantastic Top Secret mission I called Clever Disguise.

Hosted at the International Spy Museum, Clever Disguise was a familiar dinner party ... with unexpected fun! 

Clever Disguise invite Guests received Top Secret invitations instructing them to "wear this clever disguise for a big holiday surprise!"




Clever Disguise entertainment After dinner, improv musical performers bounded into the dining room singing, acting and engaging guests with custom operas, love ballads and rap songs about life at work, crazy deadlines and their favorite clients.  It was a fabulous evening that balanced holiday cheer with lots of laughter!
{event decor} Faux Snow

Faux Snow Dreaming of a winter wonderland?  Then, make faux snow! 

Local special effect companies, like Digital Lightning, have snow machines for rent.

Faux snow is a fantastic effect for your event entrance, cocktail or dessert lounge, or photo booth!

  This beautiful tree was up for grabs at The Enchanted Forest, Nov 17-18.  As a Friend of the Forest and JLNV Community Advisory Board (CAB) member, I offered to decorate our tree ... and landed a spot on Fox5 Morning News.  Watch the video and around 3:35 look for the blonde elf in the background =)
