Wow! What an honor it was to plan Liz's Sweet 16 birthday. I met Liz's mom several years ago through a networking group and when it was time for a party, she gave us a call. Thanks so much for the jingle.
Now this wasn't a big party, only about 30 of her friends but Mary Beth (Mom) wanted to make sure that it was fun and memorable for her. After a couple of conversations and a visit to their home, we decided to go for a South Beach Club feel. The challenge was that their home is more traditional in style so we needed to go in search of a local venue.
Long story short, we found the Anderson Center Station a.k.a. the Metro Bus Park & Ride Station. It was a great building and perfect for this size group. Amy Meyer, the township's event coordinator was fab to work with and the building folks couldn't have been more helpful.
Now that we had the place, we had to design the event so it would look a little more posh. After a conversation with Mom, we determined that the furniture we brought it could be purchased and given as a gift to Liz to decorate her new bedroom. Win, win for all! Some food, an awesome DJ, a signature frozen drink, chocolate fountain & a Wii gaming station and the event was bound to be a success! Everyone danced, played and stayed to the very end. Overall, quite the memorable Sweet 16!
Thanks to all of the vendors that helped pull this together in just 4 weeks! Special shout out to Maria for her quick & fab sewing skills!

OK - so just recently, I went to a huge industry conference in Atlanta called The Special Event Show. Boy did we see some cool things. We have pics. Lots & lots of pics to share over the coming weeks.
Right now - we're chatting about chair covers. Forget the bow. Just look at some of these nifty new styles and fabrics. Chair covers don't interest everyone and frankly, they can be pricey. But if you have the budget or if they are your "thing", don't be afraid to go bold and be different. Next to the happy couple, they may be the hit of the evening!
Cheers - C
