Last week, I had the chance to host a very Whovian gender-reveal party for some dear friends who are expecting their first little one this summer. Check out a few of the details! I tried to include as many relevant quotes as possible. . . Classic Whovian foods made their appearance, with toasted-coconut encrusted marshmallowsContinue reading “Who Needs Inspiration?”

Supernaturally Good
If you, like me, tuned in to watch the 200th episode of Supernatural last night, well. You know. You know that there are no words to describe what ridiculous rip-roaring supernaturally high school musicalish CHUCK-ness that we witnessed. If you didn’t watch it (or you did and understood nothing) . . . well I’m sorry. BUTContinue reading “Supernaturally Good”
Zombie Themed Treats!
This past weekend, I had a chance to attend my very first Zombie Prom. While the event itself was quite fun (who doesn’t like dancing and people watching with a bunch of undead characters in downtown Salem, MA?), I think the festivities preceding the dance itself were equally as delightful, so I thought I’d share withContinue reading “Zombie Themed Treats!”
A Frozen Party
My niece, like most four-year-old girls lately, is deeply obsessed with the film “Frozen”. I know there’s an awful lot of hype surrounding this movie, and most of you feel a little (if not a LOT) fed up with the song “Let it Go”. . . but what four-year-old gets the concept of too-much-media-coverage? NotContinue reading “A Frozen Party”
Dance Details: Candyland Prom
If planning events (albeit somewhat informally) has taught me anything, it is that the devil is in the details, but so is the delight! If you get too caught up in details of an event, you can overlook the fun – but the right details can enhance an event magnificently! This year, our prom themeContinue reading “Dance Details: Candyland Prom”
Props to the Photobooth!
I submit that there are few (if any) events that would not be improved by the presence of a photo booth. I’m sure many could (and would) argue on the particulars of that statement. Funerals, for example, might be an inappropriate place for gloriously-silly, prop-laden photo antics . . . but really, I think itContinue reading “Props to the Photobooth!”
Free Printable: Candyland Madlibs!
Every year, as part of the annual school dance preparations, we include the making of Mad-libs. . . after including these as part of the table decor a few years ago, they were met with such positive feedback that we’ve included them ever since! Functioning as a fun ice-breaker and a laughter-filled prelude to dancing,Continue reading “Free Printable: Candyland Madlibs!”
One Winter’s Night: DIY Dinner Dance Decor!
I’ve coordinated a couple of high school dances over the past few years, and I always have a lot of fun with the creative ideas my creative students come up with for decorations and details! Each year, I am fortunate to have have a couple of truly fantastic students who volunteer to be on the planningContinue reading “One Winter’s Night: DIY Dinner Dance Decor!”
Bachelorette
I usually dread Party Games. In fact, I might go so far as to say that MOST people are with me on this one. Especially when you don’t know everyone attending, which is increasingly the case as friends from high school and friends from college converge for the Big Day Festivities. Last week, however, IContinue reading “Bachelorette”
In Case You Missed It…
This year’s Masquerade Prom was a visual feast and a resounding success. . . check out a few of my favorite theme/decor photos from the event: All photo credit goes to our awesome photographers, Danny and Brandi Ebersole!
