My Big Day Wedding: Todd & Rebecca

6/27/2014

 
Picture
We are in love with love. And these two are clearly head over heels for each other!

Todd and Rebecca picked out a spot up at Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins
, deep in Lory State Park.  The rocks are red, the reservoir was full, and love was certainly in the air.

The wedding was one of the most personal and touching ceremonies we have every had the pleasure of witnessing. Todd and Rebecca were surrounded by loved ones, friends and family who came a long way, and a bit of luck as the sun was out for their entire ceremony, but thunderstorms were taking place all around them in neighboring areas.


My Big Day was honored to be selected as the wedding planners for this joyful occasion! Below are the other vendors who helped make this day truly amazing.


Ceremony: Lory State Park, Fort Collins CO
Reception:  Club Tico, Fort Collins CO

Celebrating Friday the 13th!

6/13/2014

 
Picture
So it's Friday the 13th.... How should you celebrate?
(from Wiki How)

Only around 10 percent of modern day Americans believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, yet it is still a well recognized superstition, causing people to joke about it and be perhaps a little more cautious than usual.  Friday the thirteenth falls between one and three times a year, providing you with a good excuse for celebrating it in a fun way and perhaps, even for facing your fears about it should you have any and that's a fact.

Whether or not you think it's an unlucky day, or an unlucky number, celebrating the day might be a way to throw less negative light on it and serve as some reassurance for you.

Tips For Planning A Community Meeting

Community meetings are held to bring a together a group of various viewpoints to discuss issues, ideas, and information.  For these things to be shared in a timely fashion, and in a way that has a purpose, follow these tips:

Plan early- When guests know that an event is going to happen ahead of time, they are more likely to attend.  This also gives much more time for you to plan and ensure things will go off without a hitch.  Have a planning committee.  Other people can assist in planning so you are not overwhelmed and they can have valuable insight and suggestions. 

Set a goal- What is the purpose of the meeting?  What are you hoping to accomplish? You should ask yourself these questions when developing the goal of the meeting.  This will also help attendees stay on track with their discussion and problem solving.

Create an agenda- Community meetings tend to get off topic because there is no set plan.  By creating and keeping to an agenda, there will be less off topic discussion and attendees will feel like they are there for a reason.  It will also be easier to accomplish your goal this way.

Encourage participation- Community meetings need be all inclusive.  You should invite adults, children, business people, elected officials, and everyone in between.  Everyone has valuable ideas and the decisions made in their community will affect them; they should have a say.

How to increase participation- Your event should be publicized.  How can people come if they do not know it is happening?  Twitter is a great tool for this.  Have community members follow your group on twitter so they can be updated 24/7.  Other media, such as radio, newspaper, and television, are also good resources for publicity.  Ask other people on the planning committee to bring a few guests.  These people are likely to invite another guest and attendance keeps growing. 

Event Site Review: Kress Cinema Lounge

6/9/2014

 
Picture
Recently My Big Day visited the Kress Cinema Lounge to learn more about their event space for our clients.  The owners, Ron & Linde Thompson have done a great job making this space in historic downtown Greeley a desirable place to host a party, or to go for a fun date night out!

As an event rental option, the Kress Cinema Lounge offers multiple spaces broken out into rentals: the Fireplace Lounge, The Art Deco Bar, and the Theatre. You can also rent the entire facility by hour, by half day, or for the entire day.  The entire space can hold up to 300 people.

In our opinion the rental rate is affordable, and the space is unique and fun!  My Big Day has assisted with a holiday party at this location, and the staff was very accommodating.   If you are researching venues for your next birthday party, holiday party, company event, shower or wedding, we highly recommend the Kress Cinema Lounge!
