We had a great holiday season and hope you did too! Thank you to all of our clients who trust us with their company parties large and small!
 
 The Christmas spirit was extended into early January with Blue’s holiday party, built around the storyline from the classic holiday tale - A Christmas Story! Guests were transported back to a simpler time with specialized photobooth backdrops, food, and decor reminiscent of Ralphie’s childhood home in the 1950’s. The Marriott Fort Collins hosted us again and tables were decorated with kitchen colanders in honor of Mother Parker’s holiday culinary feats, Red Ryder BB guns, and of course, the famous “Fragile” Leg Lamps. The only thing missing was a bar serving large glasses of Ovaltine! (Note - there were three open bars for the guests to imbibe from!)
 The evening was full of fellowship between all the various bank branches, company recognitions and awards, and of course dancing! Music and emceeing was provided by our favorite entertainer - DJ Kaaos! Activities also included a costume contest, and door prize drawings for all of the table centerpieces. 
Blue Federal Credit Union is one of our favorite clients to work with, and we were once again pleased to be part of the planning for their always fun company holiday party! If you’ve liked what you’ve seen and heard here - consider using our team to plan your next corporate function, retreat, or party!

This year they chose a Mad Men theme, which we had a blast planning and executing!  This years' party was hosted at the Fort Collins Marriott. Our centerpieces were ornate art deco lamps, retro decanters, and period appropriate picture frames with banking ads from the 1960's.
The customized playlist by MC and DJ, Robert Krueger, consisted of classic 1960's tunes and holiday music.
Blue celebrated their 400+ guests with an award presentation. Their "Blunder Award" ceremony was a huge hit!
In addition to the awards and dancing, we had a photobooth and caricature artists available to capture all of our guests!
 When the holidays draw near, do you feel the need to reach for a beer? The relatives are in town, and you are putting in your time with the family... Well, spike that egg nog, Sparky, grab your favorite glass moose mug, and play My Big Day's "Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!" What you will need for this game: beer, eggnog, wine, or your drink of choice, a santa hat & a single shot of your choice (perhaps a lime jello shot topped with cat food).

As such, it has always been important to us to give to others. We donate to many charities throughout the year, fundraise through some of our events, and consciously give clothing to homeless shelters and women's housing. At Christmas time we like to make up a handful of 'Blessing Bags' and keep them in our car. When we see a homeless person on the side of the road, we can easily hand the a blessing bag that contains many of the items folks need who don't have a place to call home. Below is our list of items we like to include in our Blessing Bags:
