Keystone Financial Client Appreciation Event

11/18/2022

 
It always feel good to be appreciated and Keystone Financial does a great job at letting their clients know that they are treasured. MBD Marketing & Events was asked to help plan Keystone's annual Client Appreciation event and we loved every minute of it! What a wonderful, thoughtful group of people!
We were tasked with finding:
  • An affordable venue that can seat 200
  • Tasty and creative catering
  • Fall décor
  • Some sort of entertainment suitable for their clients
  • And do this in less than 2 months on the fringe of holiday party season!
MBD Marketing & Events reached out to all of the venues that were suitable, sent RFPs to many caterers, and vetted about 25 entertainers! We quickly got everything booked and ready for invitations to be sent out.  Keystone Financial hosted their largest gathering yet - and gave their clients a very fun night!

Thank you for trusting MBD to do what we do best --- Bring JOY to the Job!

MBD Plans Loveland's Largest Celebration of Innovation

11/17/2022

 
Picture
2022 is a landmark year for the city of Loveland, CO. 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:
​
  • Gitanjali Rao, AMERICAN INVENTOR and "Time's Kid of the Year!"
  • Governor Jared Polis will Address the Community Regarding Innovation in Northern Colorado
  • Food Trucks
  • Live Music
  • HUGE BUBBLE TOWER
  • Historical Timeline of Innovation in Loveland
  • Innovation Demonstrations and Vendors
  • 'DRONE ZONE' Play Space
  • Car Show & Vintage Fire Trucks
  • Community Champions Awards Ceremony
  • Ribbon Cutting for Re-Grand Opening of the Campus
  • Forge Campus Tours
  • HP Round Table Room
  • The 1st 500 Guests Receive a Free Gift!
  • Sci on the Fly Mobile Science Lab
  • Pulse Video Gaming Station
  • 4-H Stem Energy Lab
  • Helicopter for Kids to Explore
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”

Our Favorite Photo Spots in Northern Colorado

11/11/2022

 
Finding the perfect spot for your next photo shoot!
Northern Colorado has no shortage of scenic backdrops that are perfect for photoshoots - both professional and impromptu selfies. As event planners who are often asked for recommendations, we have pulled together a list of some of the best locations in NoCo. 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.
Picture
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!
Picture
Riverbend Ponds Natural Area - This location is a hidden natural area surrounded by city - making it a perfect spot if you want more than one location for your photoshoot or session. 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!
Picture
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!

Picture
CSU Annual Flower Trial Gardens - Located in the heart of downtown Fort Collins, this spot is perfect for family photos, engagement sessions, group photos before school dances, or just some fun selfies with friends. Depending on when you go, there will be different background colors to suit your taste!
Picture
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. 
Picture
Chataqua Park - Also located near Boulder, CO, this spot has some beautiful vistas and scenery great for any time of year. Hike through fields of yellow grass or snow to catch a perfect shot!
Picture
Old Town Fort Collins/Downtown Loveland - Downtown Fort Collins or 4th Street in downtown Loveland offer some chic and more urban shots to suit weddings and group photos. Perfect for family and senior photos as well!
Picture
​You can find examples of all of these locations and more under the weddings tab on our website. Use our website for inspiration! You can also find more inspiration and locations for the perfect photoshoot on our curated Pinterest Pages: Married in the Mountains and My Big Day Weddings.

PRE-WEDDING EMERGENCY CHECKLIST FROM MBD MARKETING & EVENTS

10/15/2022

 
"Hope for the best and plan for the worst."
Your big day is just days away. 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:
Picture
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.
Picture
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. Let MBD Marketing & Events take on the heavy lifting, so you can dance
the night away!

Team Building Activities to Foster Healthy Work Relationships

9/26/2022

 
​What is a corporate recipe for success when it comes to building healthy and successful professional (workplace) relationships? 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.
Picture
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:
  1. Icebreakers
  2. Communication
  3. Problem-solving
  4. Creative Thinking
  5. Employee Bonding
 
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:
  • The Human Knot: In this activity a group stands in a circle and grabs the hands of someone across from them. Once everyone is connected they must work together to untangle without letting go of their hands.
  • Two truths and a lie: Each group member van share two facts and one lie about themselves. The rest of the group must guess the lie.

Communication

Activities that focus on healthy and thoughtful communication patterns are a great way to develop strong communication skills in a low-risk environment.
  • Team Scavenger Hunt: Teams can be on the hunt for a predetermined list of objects or locations to find.

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.
  • Escape Rooms:
Escape rooms are the ultimate exercise in healthy communication! Teams must work together to solve clues and complete challenges before their time in the room runs out. Groups that focus on good listening and transparent communication usually find success!
  • Take a Cooking Class together: Divide into pairs or teams for some culinary fun! A successful and tasty dish will require open communication!
Picture

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:
  • Board Games:  Games that require bartering or trading are great for boosting problem solving and communication skills. Think Settlers of Catan and the like.
  • Water Balloon Toss: In this activity, employees are divided into pairs. These pairs must toss a water balloon back and forth, taking a step further back between each toss. Sometimes this can be done with two pairs of employees who catch and throw the balloon using a beach towel.
 
Creative Thinking
Encouraging creativity in play often translates to success in the board room!
  • Pictionary: Another party/board game, this one really gets the creativity flowing. Divide into teams. Ask the teams to draw a series of random objects, people, events, or phrases for their teammates to guess. The team with the most correct guesses wins.
 
Employee Bonding
Happy people produce good work! You can encourage relationship building outside of the office with these suggestions:
  • Group volunteering experiences: Find a cause that aligns with  your organization and gather your group together to help out.
  • Karaoke night: A great and fun out-of-office experience. Who knows - you might have a singing superstar on staff
Picture
​My Big Day Marketing and Events has a team of professional planners and facilitators who can help you plan engaging activities for your team. We can develop an itinerary that will help you reach your team-bonding goals, which in turn will help you find success - both in and out of the office!

Company Retreat & Team Building in Colorado

My Big Day was ecstatic to be enlisted as the 'fun makers' for Slate360, an event company based out of Nevada/Boston. The team at Slate360 asked us to plan a packed itinerary filled with experiences and excursions in Colorado.

Our new friends know how to make all of their team members feel welcome. Fantastic lodging at The Elizabeth Hotel in Old Town Fort Collins, a custom candy bar, packed fridge, every supply that could make one feel comfortable when traveling, and monogramed gifts for all!
Here is a taste of just 2 days of the team's itinerary...
