Planning Indoor Birthday Parties in Northern Colorado 2021-2022

10/20/2021

 
The event industry is closer to “normal” than this time last year, and venues are responding to the pandemic in different ways. We know many of you have safety concerns but still want to give your child the birthday party they’ve been asking for, especially if they missed out last year. Of course, every family is different – we encourage you to make the best decision for your family’s safety.

One of our clients is The Family Center/La Familia.  They serve families and children in Northern Colorado. Our team has compiled a list of indoor Colorado kids’ birthday party venues still operating this winter (2021). Visit the links below for more information about each venue’s protocols and restrictions.
 
Happy planning!

The New “Normal” Back to School Edition

8/16/2021

 
​Colorado is Back to School in person! After the 2020-2021 school year there have been a lot of questions about what the new “normal” will be this upcoming year for students.

Many of your MBD team members are parents - and we all work with clients who serve and support children and students. Safety and health are very important to us.

Below are a few things that the CDC has recommended to ensure the student and staff safety this 2021 school year.
Picture
Masks for ages 2+ if not vaccinated.
KKTV 11 News wrote that the CDC guidelines say that “Consistent and correct mask use by people who are not fully vaccinated is especially important indoors and in crowded settings, when physical distancing cannot be maintained.” If vaccinated, schools are asking for proof and then a mask is not required.
Picture
Staff, Teachers and Students should stay home if they have any infectious disease.
​This rule refers to any infectious disease, not just COVID. Colds and flus are on the list for being a required reason to stay at home and they recommend going to see a physician as well.
Teachers and staff will continue to have disinfect.
​
Staff and teachers will be supplied with disinfecting spray, to clean high-touch areas regularly.
Picture
The circulation of outdoor air inside will continue to be increased.
​
“Screening testing, ventilation, handwashing and respiratory etiquette, staying home when sick and getting tested, contact tracing in combination with quarantine and isolation, and cleaning and disinfection are also important layers of prevention to keep schools safe.”[1]

[1] https://www.kktv.com/2021/07/21/colorado-health-officials-release-back-to-school-guidance-covid-19/
 
Schools will continue to “Encouraging frequent hand washing and providing access to hand sanitation stations.”[1]
​
[1] https://www.dcsdk12.org/about/leadership/superintendent/looking_forward_back_to_school_2021-2022
 

Picture
Physical Distancing 3 feet or more.
​
“CDC recommends schools maintain at least 3 feet of physical distance between students within classrooms, combined with indoor mask wearing by people who are not fully vaccinated, to reduce transmission risk. When it is not possible to maintain a physical distance of at least 3 feet, such as when schools cannot fully re-open while maintaining these distances, it is especially important to layer multiple other prevention strategies, such as indoor masking.”1

We must all work together to keep our schools safe!
If we can all follow these guidelines we can prevent the spread of most illnesses throughout our schools and homes. Back to school is here and everyone is excited to return to the classrooms! Check out our Pinterest board for Back to School ideas and tips!

Planning a Unique Golf Tournament Fundraiser

7/21/2021

 
Summer is in full effect and as we begin to see the world open back up, a number of events are back in full force. A constant favorite is golf tournaments.
​
Thompson Education Foundation is a partner with MBD Marketing and Events and this August we have planned their first ever golf tournament fundraiser! Planning an event for the first time always takes time and energy researching how others have done it in the past and asking for helpful tips from experts. While we have planned others, no client wants a carbon copy of someone else's event.

Here are some ideas on how to make any golf tournament a success!
Picture
​1. Location Location is key to a successful golf tournament. Christine with MBD Marketing and Events say that “It's great to have a committed and supportive golf course partner, as they can make all the difference in the success of the event!” Part of this process involves being prepared for bad weather so having a golf course that can accommodate tents or an inside venue for your guests is something to consider when choosing a location. 
Picture
 
2. Number of Players and Inventory
The location of the golf tournament can determine how many players you can accommodate. Some golf courses will open up the entire course for your event while others like to reserve only nine holes at a time. You also need to consider the style of play. Timed play, shotgun, 'best ball' or scramble? Each has pros and cons regarding timing.  Once you have your head count confirmed, figuring out inventory such as golf carts, caddies, food, goodie bags and any other things needed for the event is important!
Picture
3. Food
Depending on you golf course partner, food can be offered through their kitchen and snack carts! Now it is time to decide what will be offered to your players. Will you have an early start? Breakfast, mimosas and bloody mary’s are a great way to kick off your event! Maybe you have multiple starts throughout the day and would like to offer a buffet of finger foods instead. Some like to have a banquet after the tournament is over to celebrate and give out awards and say thank you to their guests. There are usually a lot of options when it comes to the food and snacks at a golf tournament. Food and beverage can be the greatest cost at any event, so weighing that cost with ticket prices for your foursomes to ensure monies are still being raised for your non-profit require careful planning and balance.
Picture
4. Fundraising Event Sponsors

Is the golf tournament you are planning for a non-profit to help raise funds for a cause? Soliciting sponsors for each hole, snack cart, golf carts and to help ensure the players are well fed can be great ways to advertise local businesses while saving on costs. You can easily have 18 sponsors with 18 holes. The rest depends on how large the golf course is and how you would like to accommodate the other sponsors. Christine said that this was part of her more exciting and interesting aspects of the planning process stating, “Creating fun sponsorship opportunities and contests for our golfers brings me the most joy in golf tournament planning.”
Picture
5. Contests, Raffles and Giveaways!

Planning interesting ways for your players to interact more than just playing golf at your event can really help peak guest interest. From trophies for all sorts of reasons to silent auctions, to having “Hole-in-One” prizes are all a great way to get your players excited to be there and hopefully to make them want to come back again to future events! Everyone loves to help raise money for a good cause but when you can add in a little extra fun with side bets and giveaways, people feel even more rewarded for being a part of a meaningful event!
 
There are always unseen challenges, Christine said that “Making our tournament unique and special, so it's not like all the rest,” was one of her more challenging tasks. “Just like any event, there are tons of moving parts, so organization is key.” Remember to have fun and plan ahead!

​ Happy Golfing!

A Look Back: A Beginning - How we started, where we began

6/13/2021

 
This month kicks off our 15th Anniversary Year celebrations and acknowledgments. My Big Day Marketing & Events started as a hobby and past-time for President Christine Forster, and has flourished and grown over the past 15 years to a hustling and bustling events and marketing agency. 

Let the Celebration and trip down Memory Lane begin!

Little known fact -- Christine filed the paperwork with the State of Colorado, recognizing My Big Day as a business on June 14, 2007. The “go-to” party planner for her group of friends, Christine took her dream and made it a reality when she signed on the dotted line and set up My Big Day as a full-fledged business, recognized by the State of Colorado.

​
First My Big Day Event
​

The very first My Big Day event that Christine took on was Adult Prom! She had the help of a planning committee -- her closest friends, and together they pulled off an 80’s/90's inspired night to remember.
Picture
Picture
My Big Day Grows

From there, My Big Day grew to incorporate some now, long-running MBD staples -- Easter Keg Hunt & Sloshball. These fabulous favorites soon became known as My Big Day Signature Events. These events were created out of a desire to gather a group of friends together for some fun, and they have grown to some of the largest Northern Colorado premiere Community Events!
​The NoCo Easter Keg Hunt and Sloshball have been hosted for 13 and 14 years respectively!


​
Picture
Picture
My Big Day Marketing & Events over the years

With the vision and leadership provided by Christine, My Big Day has grown -- not only in the number of events that are curated each year, but in staffing, in partnerships, and in scope!

Over the years, My Big Day has gone from My Big Day Company to My Big Day Marketing & Events. Forced to pivot to a more marketing-driven focus during the 2020 pandemic, My Big Day has risen to the challenge of balancing small business growth while keeping the same fun and glittery feel that was present at the beginning.

A staff of one and a committee of friends has grown into a team of 9 women entrepreneurs. Over the years, this collective of creative thinkers has produced over 250 weddings, developed and implemented over 33 custom events for clients and the greater community, and built partnerships and grown client accounts, managing over 29 fundraisers annually! The marketing side of My Big Day manages over 35 websites and social media accounts for clients and organizations. 

​
Picture
The Future is Bright

15 years in business is no small accomplishment! Growth has come from the dreams and vision of a skillful leader, a dedicated creative team of professionals, a forward-thinking internship program, and the support and partnerships of many organizations, businesses, and event-related networking groups --Partners that take a leap of faith and are excited by creative planning, and clients who trust the larger visions will be met with the fine details in event planning that the MBD team excels at. We are grateful to all of our clients and event partners.

As we embark on a year of memories and celebrations, we also look with our glittery eyes towards the future. We can’t wait to see where the next 15 years take My Big Day. And hang on tight -- because a full team of event planners is bound to plan and execute an anniversary celebration to remember!

Level Up Bars & Restaurants in Northern Colorado

3/4/2021

 
“Level Up” is the buzz phrase for Larimer County’s bars and restaurants. The Level Up program allows county businesses to operate one level below the county’s current COVID safety level. 
Picture
So what does that mean, exactly? If Larimer County as a whole is at level Yellow (Concern), as it is currently, approved Level Up businesses can operate one level below – in this example, level Blue (Caution). Higher levels come with stricter requirements, but businesses that have been approved can operate with fewer restrictions.
 
Achieving Level Up status requires a lot from businesses. Bars and restaurants participating in the program must:
 
  • Record customer names and contact information for contact tracing purposes, to be submitted in a weekly spreadsheet
  • Submit to the county a proposal to enforce mandatory mask-wearing and describe how signage will be used and how staff will communicate with customers who arrive without masks
  • Document use of signage throughout the business labeling 6’ distances to ensure those from different households remain 6’ apart
  • Include a plan for regular sanitation and cleaning of high touch surfaces
  • Include a plan for daily employee temperature, symptom, and exposure checks
  • Include a plan for customer symptom screening, including protocols for those who do not pass symptom screening
  • Have a business-specific plan for outbreak detection, reporting, and response
  • Provide sufficient quality ventilation including an HVAC system that meets county safety guidelines and maximizing outdoor airflow
  • Promote the Exposure Notification Service, through with employees and customers who sign up will be notified if they are potentially exposed to COVID-19
  • Display information for customers who wish to lodge a safety violations complaint
  • Maintain special hours or accommodations for populations most at-risk
  • Have zero prior citations of noncompliance
  • Complete a lengthy application, interview, and onsite visit process
Picture
Bars and restaurants currently operating at level Blue must adhere to the following guidelines:
  • Indoors 50% capacity (max 175 people)
  • Outdoors 6’ between parties
  • Alcohol sales, including take-out, must conclude by 12 a.m.
  • Party size is limited to 10 people or fewer
  • Reservations are encouraged to alleviate crowds
