Congratulations to MBD's own Carrie and Kathy.
Carrie is celebrating an engagement! Kathy is celebrating a BIG birthday! We gathered together to surprise them this week and shower them with some love! The proposal is a story you will tell for the rest of your life. "How did he do it?" "Where did you do it?" "Did you know it was coming?" "How did you react?" Where and how you propose or are proposed to can be as important as the Big Day itself. If you are struggling to find the right location or right time, listen to your gut, and check out a few ideas from us! Where you metMaybe you met at a bar, a friend's house, or at a political rally. Go back to the place where it all began and recreate the first time you met. |
We get this question ALL THE TIME... "I really don't want to host my party (bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, retirement party, surprise party, etc) in my home - and I don't want to pay wedding venue prices to host this party. What do I do? Where can I go?" There are plenty of options in Northern Colorado. Here are a few of our favorites.... Fort Collins: The Lodge at Mackenzie Place A hidden gem tucked in suburbia, off of Harmony Rd! We have had the pleasure of being part of or hosting a number of events here. The atmosphere and decor is very 'Colorado Lodge.' The management company is flexible and EASY to work with! Why we love it:
Loveland: The Majestic Gathering Place The Majestic just went through a huge renovation! This lovely historic building in downtown Loveland boasts wood floors, plenty of space, and a neutral pallet just waiting for your decor! We love downtown locations like this for pre and post partying! Why we love it:
Greeley: The Platte River Fort This venue has everything! The rustic lux decor makes for a mountain retreat feel. There are a number of spaces all around the property that allow for events of all sizes. We've hosted very small private parties in the Lodge itself, and large parties in the barn! The event team is great to work with and the venue is truly unique! Why we love it:

What an amazing 40th Surprise Birthday party for our favorite travel blogger, Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer with Heiditown.com!
Our tribute to the 90's was filled with thoughtful details. Thank you Robert Krueger for recommending DJ KAAOS! Thank you Bemixxed Bartending and Event Planning for mixing up our 90's cocktails, "Nirvanah," "Saved by the Bellini," "Gin and Juice," and "Vanilla Ice!" Graphic designer, Karen Clark photo-shopped our birthday girl into memorable 90's TV shows and movies. And Play Cake Bakers make the marvelous mixed tape cake!
We love parties, we LOVE a theme... and we love when it all comes together the way this one did!

Guests enjoyed a brunch buffet and had plenty to see and do. With the genders of the babies still unknown, we played a little guessing game. Guests were urged to put berries in their beverage which represent the genders of the babies they are guessing. 2 raspberries for 2 girls, 2 blueberries for 2 boys and 1 of each for both!

Are you considering staying in this Valentine's Day and are trying to find a romantic meal to share with your loved one? Consider a sexy suggestion by preparing a full aphrodisiac menu - carefully researched for you by My Big Day. Below is a simple DIY menu we've put together and have put to the test! Download our menu below as well. Enjoy! ![]()
|
Why: A sexy appetizer to get your taste buds ready.
Drink: A glass of red wine
Why: Grape skins contain the antioxidant resveratrol, the closest thing we have to an actual aphrodisiac. It increases estrogen production, say Northwestern University researchers, and that heightens sexual appetite and makes lubrication easier for her later in the evening. Red wines from muscadine grapes have a higher resveratrol content than other reds do, say researchers at Mississippi State University.
Appetizer: Shrimp cocktail
Why: The zinc-dense shrimp increase sperm levels and make orgasms more powerful, according to a study in Fertility and Sterility. They also contain a stress-reducing amino acid and the feel-good hormone serotonin.
Entrée: Filet mignon au poivre (6 oz) (Garlic, ginger, mustard, pepper rub, porcini mushrooms)
Why: High-protein foods boost production of dopamine and norepinephrine, hormones that increase alertness and assertiveness.
Black pepper aids digestion, according to an Indian Journal of Medical Research study -- helpful for any energetic activities after dinner.
Side: Baked sweet potato
Why: It's high in potassium, which helps reduce stress--a great way to curb performance anxiety later that night.
Top the potato with a dollop of sour cream, another source of libido-friendly protein.
Side: Spinach salad (Spinach, Arugula, Pine nuts, Basil Vinaigrette, Parmesan cheese, carrots )
Why: Spinach is a potent source of magnesium, which helps dilate blood vessels, ensuring the smooth bloodflow that's crucial for strong erections, according to Japanese researchers.
Dessert: Fresh raspberries drizzled with melted dark chocolate
Why: British scientists have discovered that women release four times more endorphins after eating chocolate than they do after making out. The caffeine in chocolate also increases your alertness for what's to come after dessert. Try using Dark Chocolate on the raspberries, and pair them with a glass of port. You'll get a double dose of polyphenols -- antioxidants that increase your HDL (good) cholesterol.

Looking for some holiday party games that don’t make your employees cringe? My Big Day has compiled a list of our favorite Holiday party games for you to try this year at your company party! They are guaranteed to make sure your employees have a good time!
5) Holiday Card Game. This is a great holiday party game if you are in a smaller group that can be broken up into two teams. You can even add a fun twist and do men verse woman. Our favorite is a holiday trivia game, where you ask questions about Christmas or Christmas themed things and then the 2 teams are competing for the most questions answered correctly. You’ll be surprised with things you didn’t know about! |
6) Paper Plate game. This is always a pleaser at baby showers but can be a great game for your company party! Have each guest get a paper plate and pen. Start by placing the plate on top of your head and then have the players draw something Christmas themed, such as an ornament or a gift box, nothing too hard. They will have to draw this without looking and on top of their head. Whoever draws the item closest to what it was supposed to look like wins! |
7) White Elephant gifts are always a fun addition to any party. You have the choice of theming them to be funny or as simple as everyone bringing a $10 gift card from somewhere. This encourages guests to swap out gift cards all night and see which of the best ones they can collect! If you do a themed white elephant, such as bring your favorite movie, this is fun because no one knows what they are getting! You start by having the wrapped gift and then picking from a stack. Once you pick you unwrap and see what you got, but the next person who picks can either steal yours or grab a new one! This is a fun way for employees to interact. |
