This post isn’t “officially” corporate events related like the majority of my posts are. But it is about a situation that any corporate events person would understand.
What do you want the theme of the party to be?
You brainstorm…
You come up with 10 different ideas on how you could make it work…
Here is a REAL LIFE story…
My girlfriend called me this morning and wanted some advice on what she could do for her daughter’s birthday party that was happening this Saturday night….(btw – it’s Friday.)
My friend: Daughter’s birthday is Saturday and I have to do something
Me: What are you thinking about?
Friend: It’s a sleepover and daughter invited 8 of her friends
Me: Did you send an invite
Friend: No – Mass Text to all her friends
Me: Guess what? You have a theme…
Friend: WHAT? How do you figure?
Me: She texted – make the theme about texting. Use LOL and TTYL and BFF, etc.
So…
Cupcake Toppers & Treat Bags
I whipped up some cupcake toppers and treat bags. Now she is an instant COOL mom!
How could this possibly relate to corporate events?
Take ONE element and go with it. Inspiration is everywhere…a pillow, a font treatment, music, a tag line…and in this case…a mass text to girlfriends inviting them over for a sleepover.
