Working the Room!

Layout of the Room"Working the room" is not a phrase just used for dating anymore! You need to know and understand the best use of space for the room, and stand your ground if you are firm about it. I have fought with more caterers about placement of buffet tables, or where to place the DJ. Some catering managers are just not subject to looking outside of the box - or heck, a little to the left of it! Just learn to use the space wisely!


There are so many different ways to design your reception, just keep in mind that location is everything, be aware of the space, and where things are located. You can use free and fantastic sites like Simple Seating to design your reception site exactly how you want it. Or The Perfect Seating Plan, another great option!





Calligraphy Cakes!

I love tying a whole wedding together with a theme of some kind - flower type, monogram, color - something. So when purusing my favorite blogs, I found this on Style Me Pretty and I love it!!! The idea of tying in the Calligraphy as a theme - so beautiful! Don't you think?



What a Weekend!

We had a huge Fund-Raising Gala dinner on Friday night, and then a Fantastic Chef's themed Birthday Party on Saturday morning for Harrison's 3rd Birthday. It was so much fun, both of them!

The Gala was beautiful, and everyone had such a great time. I think the secret to a successful event is that the food is delicious (and it was) and the entertainment is out of this world! The band was amazing! They had everyone rockin' until well after mid-night and for this group that's a feet in-and-of-self! I'll post some pictures of the Gala tomorrow.

The birthday party for Harrison was awesome! His mom had planned out a chef's themed birthday party- she had little miniature chef's hats and aprons with their names on them, a huge mixing bowl filled with all sorts of cooking goodies, it was too cute for words watching those kids roll out their pretzel dough, and making their very own pizza's! And to top it off, they cream filled their own Whoopie Pies!!! HOW FUN! The kids were having a blast! Then the cake (which I made..) was in the shape of a hot dog, and we had made cup cakes that looked like little buckets of popcorn! I'll post those pictures tomorrow too.

Anyway, it was a long weekend, and I am still beat! But it was so filled with joy - that it almost over-rides the exhaustion!

Thanks to Stephanie and Tyler for helping to organize such a sucessful Gala!
