Inviting Company…Mapping a great Celebration!

Hello Friends!
I love “THE INVITING COMPANY’S” Map design products for your destination events. Choose from a Memo Pad (nice to leave a note on pad to welcome your guests), Cocktail Napkins (cute for the rehearsal dinner), Note Cards (great for a welcome note or thank you note), Travel Mug (fun to put a package of Starbucks Via instant coffee inside) , Square Coaster (cute gift with a bottle of wine)  and Frost Flex Cups (use these fab cups for the rehearsal or even while getting ready with the girls on your wedding day!). ALSO great for a GRADUATION PARTY (as a send off to the city the college is in)… I will have them in my e-store soon! I told the gals at Inviting Company that they should  add some of our favorite tropical and wine country locations…maybe we will see them soon :) check out www.invitingco.com for their new items. Especially my new collection (which I will be blogging about soon!)

Cities available now!

Last Minute Craft Station

Hi Friends,
We planned a cute hawaiian themed birthday party this past sunday and at the last minute we decided there were so many kids we needed to add more activities. Cassie to the rescue! She is a genius at creating fun craft tables…especially when we have less than 24 hours to do it! Enjoy xox Mindy

Vroooom Formula 1 B’nai Mitzvah

Hi Friends,

I must say this B’nai Mitzvah (bar Mitzvah for twins) turned out to be one of my favorites. I’ve been blessed to be able to decorate several events with fun themes but this one just came together so nicely! The boys loved formula 1 racing. Especially Ferrari’s! Always with boys I find there is a bit of a challenge to make sure the decor is not too feminine in any way. You will see that Mark from Marks Garden did an amazing  job incorporating flowers with race cars…Take a look at the kids area…we designed the coffee tables out of tires and the round lounge couches with race flags coming out the top … fabulous! Thanks Romina and Edgar!

The panels which hid the old wood walls at the country club were dressed in grey and white and sponsor logo decals (like at the races) were place strategically around the room..Thanks Bob!

We had a tented  outside area which we draped in red and hung fabulous light boxes again with logos that lit the game area for the kids.

We placed 6 plasmas on the stage to add dimension. The plasmas showed car racing and the black and white checked dance boxes were crowded by the kids all night. Of course my favorite part were the tables. The linens were grey with white welting. Black and white checked cushion covers and orange napkins. The menus and napkin rings were designed by my friend ellen and really helped to tie it all together!

So much to write hope you enjoy the pics! xox Mindy

There was DANCING at this Bat Mitzvah!

Hi Friends,
Last weekend we planned a cute Bat Mitzvah for a 13 year old, who loves to dance. She enjoys Ballet and Modern Dance so we incorporated that into her theme for the Bat Mitzvah.  We had silhouettes of the young lady made into the centerpieces in her favorite colors of pink and purple. We added colorful flowers at the base to finish them off. I love how we tied the napkin like a ballet shoe lace and the cloth was a geometric  black and white pattern. The stage treatment mimicked the invitation that used flowers and we cut out images of her to add to the background. We customized some light gobos to decorate the walls to tie everything together….enjoy the pics xox Mindy
