Create a memorable experience. Don't go broke.
Sounds easy, right? The fact is, parties are always (or at least should be) thrown on a budget.

concept
You are busier than ever, but your daughter is going to turn 1 regardless of your schedule. Your parents are still going to be married for 40 years. And don't you think ladybugs would be cute at your sister's baby shower? But you barely have time to brush your teeth, much less plan a party. What to do?
inspiration board
We will have a one-on-one consultation via phone, text, Skype, smoke signals... whatever is most convenient for you. You tell me your ideas, and I will make you an inspiration board, much like this one from tinyprints.com:
What makes a party remarkable are the small details worth remarking on... I'll do the legwork to come up with the ideas so you'll have the momentum to take off and run with them.

The inspiration board looks great, but how do I pull that off?!?
If the pictures just make everything more overwhelming, I can still help. I have years of experience throwing pretty elaborate parties (see Testimonials page for the proof in the pudding), and I know the art of scheduling. The concept package still gets you the inspiration board, as well as a step-by-step guide to get you from pictures to reality, including:
* A more detailed consultation to find out what types of resources you have on hand (kitchen gadgets and serving dishes, seating/tables at your venue, can you even cook? - you know, questions like that)
* Sample menu and recipes (or suggestions for catering + price estimates if the answer to the cooking question above is a resounding "no")
* Shopping lists
* Decorations lists - where to get them
* Detailed timeline of what to do and when
* Checklists to help you stay on track
And the best part? I guarantee that I can keep it all within your budget!

If you love the DIY look trending right now but don't have the time or talent to make all of the finishing touches, then let me help!
You've dutifully patrolled the internet and come up with some ideas of decorations you love. Maybe you've even downloaded some tutorials, and then come to realize that figuring out how to make hanging paper lanterns is JUST. TOO. MUCH. Don't sacrifice your party's swagger! Bring me your ideas! I'll give you price estimates for each decoration project (materials included) and a timeline for completion. You pick and choose where you'd like to have an extra hand, and we go from there!

We rely on our friends to help us get by. But we also throw parties for our friends. I know that I'm always reluctant to ask friends to help with party prep, and especially with party clean-up. Whether it's throwing together food at the last minute or hunting down beer cans on the lawn at 2am with a flash light, you pick the hours and consider me your new best friend.
The only caveat for all of this? I don't cook. Well, actually I do, but you can't afford me. ;)
