Every once in a while we find ourselves in charge of planning a party. It might be for the Super Bowl or Oscar Night or perhaps we know a movie buff who is celebrating a birthday or a retirement. Planning an event with a theme might seem a little daunting to many of us, myself included. And then there are others who step up to the challenge and immediately start putting that event together with really fantastic ideas.
Over the weekend I was challenged in the Virtual Jenga game to write a movie review. After completing the lens and posting it, my next task was to challenge someone else to write something on a topic of my choosing. Since I had just written about a movie, my mind went to a cast party. I decided to make the challenge of writing about planning an event with a movie theme. Since I don't know of anyone who plans an event quite like her, I challenged DecoratingforEvents. If you haven't been keeping up with the game, the person challenged has 48 hours to complete it or the tower falls and the game would start over.
I was confident that Mandee would come up with a great idea to meet the challenge but she exceeded my expectations by a couple of miles! Hollywood Themes: Movie Theme gives some knock your socks off ideas on planning a party or event with a movie theme. She gives suggestions on narrowing the party theme down to a specific topic such as a general movie theme, academy awards, a specific movie, and even movies done by a specific actor or actress. Ideas for really cool invitations, table decor, and even some props to decorate the room with. The girl has thought of everything, right down to the confetti for the table. Now, I see how a pro would plan an event and I'm impressed to no end!
I would like to publicly thank Mandee for accepting the challenge this weekend and for her superbly written article! Go on over and check out her suggestions, I think she will inspire your next party whether it is for a movie buff or a cast party of your own.
Mandee is such a talented 'decorator' and has done it again with this latest addition to her 'Decorating for Events' series.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised she was 'up' for your challenge, Bev, as she is a very talented writer, as well as decorator!
WOW! What an excellent surprise! I have just gotten home from work and wanted to read Bev's review this week. To say I was shocked to find it was one of my lenses is a gross understatement! After I picked my tongue up off the floor, I read the review.
ReplyDeleteI have decided if I ever do anything in this life where I would need a talented writer for PR, Bev has got the job hands down!
Thank you for the challenge and this wonderful review Bev! It really means a lot to me!
And Elf, you are one in a million! So glad you found me!
Bev, I really enjoyed reading about how this lens came about. You picked the perfect person to write this lens and she really did come through.
