We celebrate 60 years since Hewlett Packard opened a massive campus in Loveland, catapulting the city into a technological hub and city known for innovation! The building that put Loveland on the tech map sat dormant for a while after HP vacated. Today, the building has new owners and a fresh start! Known as Forge Campus, it is once again THE BUZZ of the city! MBD Marketing & Events was prospected a number of months ago by a steering committee for the initiative called, Live Loveland, to consider helping to plan a large scale event. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into. An incredible number of members of the community from all different backgrounds came together to give their input on what they wanted this celebration to look like. We quickly came up with a name that described what the event was for, honored the past, and celebrated the future. With 15 events rolled into 1 massive event, the Forge Campus was celebrated, open for tours and HOPPING! Below are all of the major activities and features offered:
We are very proud of the hard work we put into this major tribute to innovation in Loveland, CO. It took hundreds of vendors, volunteers and event crew members to make magic happen --- and it did! “60 Years Celebrating Seeds of Innovation” Saturday, October 8, 2022 9am – 1pm Forge Campus: 815 14th St SW, Loveland, CO 80537 Website: https://www.liveloveland.org/60-years-celebrating-seeds-of-innovation/  Making Business Personal

Reference this list for your next family mini-session, graduation shoot, engagement photos, or a fun afternoon with you and your closest friends! Favorite Spots for Family & Senior Photos Rocky Mountain National Park - This location offers some of the most majestic mountain views around! It is very popular in the fall - especially with the variety of golds, oranges, and reds - perfect for family photos that are worthy of a Christmas Card! There are multiple locations inside the park to choose from, including, but not limited to, Bear Lake, Sprague Lake, and Moraine Park.  Horsetooth Reservoir - Located just west of Fort Collins proper, this picturesque setting has great options for foothills and water backdrops. Also a great spot for engagement and wedding photos!

You can easily travel from this beautiful natural setting to downtown Fort Collins for a completely different look. We are partial to this location in the fall - it is often full of vibrant yellows and oranges - perfect for fall senior photo shoots!  Arapaho Bend Natural Area - Perhaps one of the most photographed areas for family photos! This iconic bridge and beautiful wooded areas are the perfect setting for any shoot!

Depending on when you go, there will be different background colors to suit your taste!  Stunning Engagement and Wedding Spots All of the previously mentioned locations would work for engagement and wedding photos, too, but these next spots are undeniably perfect! South Mesa Trailhead - Located near Boulder, CO, this location is a perfect spot to capture important engagement poses or a quick post-wedding photoshoot. Gather shots on the trail itself, or find a nearby stream.  Chataqua Park - Also located near Boulder, CO, this spot has some beautiful vistas and scenery great for any time of year.

The RSVPs are in, dresses tailored and catering confirmed. What could go wrong? No wedding – no matter how well-planned and well-run – is immune to the occasional crisis or disaster. Knock on wood and consider this prewedding emergency checklist:  Know your venue and its contacts. There is a leak in the women's bathroom. Before your guests ruin their shoes, know who the contacts are for your venue. Work with them to have a plan B in case of maintenance emergencies, weather or other unforeseen situations. Same for vendors. Only 85 chairs were delivered instead of 100. Who do you call? Having a clear list of all vendor contacts - and distributing it to all members of your event team - is critical to managing emergencies on the fly. Be familiar with evacuation plans and emergency exits. The fire alarm is going off. What now? Have a plan for how you will evacuate your guests - and communicate the need to do so. Having a PA system, bullhorn or whistle in your emergency kit can help you get the attention of a crowd. Identify staff or volunteers in advance to help guide guests to emergency exits. Print it out. Having copies of all guest lists, permits, contracts, contact numbers, maps, layouts, etc. can be a lifesaver. We all love trees and live in a digital world, but there's nothing like a visual in case of an emergency. Being able to show someone on a map where the extra chairs go or how you are going to move things around is critical. Additionally, you can handoff paper much more easily than a tablet when delegating tasks or information. Have enough copies for everyone and a few extras, just in case.  Have an emergency kit packed and ready. You have things that are moving that shouldn't. Things that aren't moving that should. A change to the menu. A giant spill. And no time to run back home or the office to deal with it. Emergency kit to the rescue! Looking for a FREE emergency kit packing list? Download our printable below.
Don't go it alone. Rather than dealing with emergencies yourself, why not kick up your heels and enjoy your wedding.

Phone: 970-613-1455 or 303-886-3068 Holiday party season will be here before we know it, which means it’s time to start planning your company holiday party. Read on to find out how to host a company party, with our My Big Day event planning experts’ list of dos and don’ts.  DO We’ve learned a thing or two after more than 16 years in the events industry. Here are our top 10 DOs for your company holiday party. Find the right date The holiday season means travel and a full social calendar for many people, so it’s important to plan early and get input on your event date. Choose several potential dates and poll employees to see which date will have the greatest attendance. Once you’ve chosen a date, book that venue – and we mean, like, yesterday. Find the right location (not the office) Since your company probably isn’t the only one throwing a holiday party this year, secure your location ASAP. Even if your office is big enough to host your party, your employees probably spend 40+ hours per week there. Why not switch it up with a fun venue downtown? Be sure to consider proximity to the office (so the travel time will be similar to the time it takes your employees to get to work), parking space, venue capacity, and amenities like a kitchen, stage, or projector wall. And don’t forget restroom access!  Consider food preferences Don’t just buy the tray labeled “party food” at the grocery store. Consider your employees’ food preferences. Maybe you have a lot of vegetarians in the office, or sweet treat fanatics. A vote also comes in handy in this situation. Be sure to ask about any food allergies, particularly if that means you’ll need to keep certain foods out of the event space completely. Hire an event planner Feeling overwhelmed yet? We recommend hiring a local event planner who already knows where the venues are and what’s available. Event planners can create a timeline for your event, suggest caterers and entertainment, and make suggestions about how much food and alcohol to purchase. Let us do the heavy lifting – the holidays are busy enough. Incorporate team building Any time most of your team is in the same place is a great time to do some team-building. Your employees probably don’t want to spend their holiday party watching cheesy videos about teamwork, but there are plenty of creative alternatives. A Secret Santa or White Elephant gift exchange is a popular choice. Here are some others:
Consider an off-season party Two of the major challenges of holiday party planning – guest attendance and securing a venue – can be offset by having a party just before or just after peak holiday season. Beat the crowd with an early November event, or bust the January blues with a post-New Year’s gathering. You’ll have more venue options and fewer scheduling conflicts. Recognize your employees A holiday party is a great time to show some employee appreciation after another hectic year. Present a slideshow of accomplishments as a company or present awards to each employee. Bonus: Incorporate team-building by asking colleagues to recommend awards for each other.  Consider an alcohol limit Alcohol is not uncommon at company parties, but if you’re serving it, consider having a cut-off of two or three drinks per guest. Nobody wants to drink too much, do something embarrassing in front of their colleagues, and then have to see them Monday morning. Having a drink limit allows guests to relax and enjoy themselves without taking things too far. Give a gift Gifts are a seasonally-appropriate way to show appreciation for your employees and engage in some team building. Gift exchanges are great for team bonding, and presenting employees with gifts during the holidays boosts morale throughout the year. Plan entertainment Your party entertainment may be built-in with planned activities like gift exchanges, rewards ceremonies, and other team-building exercises, but some holiday background music creates a fun ambience. Bluetooth speakers are budget-friendly, while a DJ or live musician is lively and memorable. If you don’t have any activities planned, consider making your holiday party an outing to a play or comedy performance. DON’TS Unfortunately, we’ve also learned a thing or two NOT to do when planning a company event after 15 years in the biz. Download the FREE printable below and avoid the top 10 mistakes companies make when planning an event.

A sprinkling of a positive company culture that promotes interaction and connection between coworkers. How do employers promote these connections? Easily through team-building activities and exercises. Team building exercises or activities are games, meetings, experiences and events that are designed to motivate group members to get to know and respect each other - often times on a different level that what they are used to in the office. While often silly or far from “work-related”, team-building exercises are activities that are thoughtfully designed to encourage teamwork. They produce a variety of benefits, including - thoughtful communication between participants (coworkers), motivation to try new approaches to problem solving, creative thinking, and building trust.  The 5 main types of corporate team-building Ultimately, the activities you choose to focus on depend on your goals. Some experiences are strictly designed to foster relationship building, while others focus more on developing specific skills. There are 5 main types of team-building:
Icebreakers Quick games and icebreaker activities are a great way to kick-off a professional gathering. They are often used to motivate employees to participate. Some easy meeting icebreakers are:
Communication Activities that focus on healthy and thoughtful communication patterns are a great way to develop strong communication skills in a low-risk environment.
My Big Day Marketing & Events has developed a variety of scavenger hunts for corporate clients – some focusing on the communication part, some focusing on fun.
 Problem Solving Activities that focus on creative problem solving often lead to better results in the workplace. Escape Rooms could again be used to hone these skills, but here are a few other activities that will help your group find creative solutions to challenges:
Creative Thinking Encouraging creativity in play often translates to success in the board room!
Employee Bonding Happy people produce good work! You can encourage relationship building outside of the office with these suggestions:
 My Big Day Marketing and Events has a team of professional planners and facilitators who can help you plan engaging activities for your team.
