Choosing a Menu for Your Fall Wedding

10/13/2014

- by Jessica Weimer

Fall is a great time to provide your guests with a unique experience at your wedding as well as with the menu. The foods in season now are very different than summer and offer a completely different experience. Take a look at these options for a fall wedding menu.

For cocktail hour a fun idea to start with could be fall inspired soup shots, such as butternut squash, this would be incorporating fall flavors and fall colors. Another great soup option is mini grilled cheese and tomato soup shots, a snack mainly enjoyed in the colder months will be sure to delight. Adding hot apple cider shots would be a nice touch for an outdoor cocktail hour as this would warm guests up as well as provide a traditionally fall treat.

When choosing a dinner menu, feel free to get creative, you could choose to do a traditional buffet with fall inspired dishes or you could do stations that are autumn themed.

One station idea could be a harvest station; this would have local cheeses, fresh fruit, an assortment of artisanal breads and vegetables to nibble on. It could also have flatbread pizza with a bunch of fresh cooked veggies on top. Anything that is in season should be on this table.

The next station you could offer is a biscuit bar. This would have freshly baked biscuits and toppings such as fried chicken, gravy, hot sauce and pepper jelly. This would be a creative and unique idea for your guests and it's perfect for fall!

A festive pasta bar with great fall toppings would be a yummy addition as well. This is where a caterer could get creative and see about adding pumpkin flavors as well as apple flavors and tossing it in with a cold or hot past a to get something delicious! They could also get creative with sauces and make a hearty tomato sauce to really spice up the pasta as well. The different colored pastas would match a fall theme too!

Don't forget the desserts! Fall is full of tasty dessert ideas! Mini pies are perfectly sized and can be a bunch of different flavors. This gives each guest the choice of what they want and the mini pies aren’t as much of a hassle as whole pies that you have to slice and serve. You can’t get any better than pie in the fall.

Also you could to a caramel apple bar. This could provide an apple for the guest to then top with different flavored caramels and chocolate and then have all sorts of different toppings such as candies or sprinkles.

Of course cake is a must have at your wedding, whether it be a small topper or a many tiered cake, this provides fun pictures and experiences. If you want to incorporate fall into your cake try flavoring a tier pumpkin spice or apple, or even decorate the cake to match your fall theme.

Celebrating Friday the 13th!

6/13/2014

So it's Friday the 13th.... How should you celebrate?
(from Wiki How)

Only around 10 percent of modern day Americans believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, yet it is still a well recognized superstition, causing people to joke about it and be perhaps a little more cautious than usual. Friday the thirteenth falls between one and three times a year, providing you with a good excuse for celebrating it in a fun way and perhaps, even for facing your fears about it should you have any and that's a fact.

Whether or not you think it's an unlucky day, or an unlucky number, celebrating the day might be a way to throw less negative light on it and serve as some reassurance for you.

How To Impress Your Girl/Guy on Valentine's Day

2/9/2014

My Big Day would be crazy not to post about Valentine's Day, since we LOVE love and parties! And we'd also be crazy not to promote the FUN packages we have put together for Valentine's Day. In the 10 years we've lived in Loveland, and 8 years in business, we've always longed for more to do in our great Sweetheart City!

Loveland is not only home of the Valentine's re-mailing program, and streets lined with giant wooden hearts with loving messages... we are the home of Valentine's Day! We take great pride in celebrating love.

With our friends, Heidi from Heiditown and Mechelle from NoCo Short Bus Tours, we decided to put together packages that celebrate Valentine's Day and all our city has to offer.

Our packages called, "My Big Date Night" offer up an all-inclusive night out in Loveland, followed by an opportunity to do and see even more the following day. 33 businesses are participating in this promotion!

Packages Include:

Optional Hotel Room Stay for 2
Hosted Brewery or Distillery Tour
Transportation to/from Hotel to Tour Stops
Tasters at Each Stop
Signature Loveland Cupcakes
Dinner for 2
Gift Bag from Loveland Businesses

The best part is that these packages are available over Valentine's weekend AND the following weekend! So if you don't have time (or forgot) to give a gift on Valentine's Day... you can still celebrate Feb. 21st or 22nd.

Breweries and Distilleries are offering up plenty of tasters. Based on the number of drinks they are offering, we have 3 breweries on the Brewery Tour package, and 2 distilleries on the Distillery Tour package.

Guests also have the choice of picking between 3 different hotels, or even a package without a hotel... so there are options for everyone's budget!

Your Valentine will thank you!

Get Married on Loveland Mountain on VALENTINE'S DAY!

2/7/2014

My Big Day Events supports everything wedding and valentine related! One of our favorite annual traditions is the FREE wedding/vow renewal on the top of Loveland Mountain!

Loveland Ski Area’s 23nd Annual Mountaintop Matrimony & Ski Free on Valentine’s Day, Friday, February 14 is a “mass wedding” ceremony for couples getting married or renewing their vows. Couples and their guests must be able to ride a chairlift and ski or snowboard back to the base afterwards.

The lift ride takes approximately 12 minutes, and the ceremony takes about 30 minutes. After the ceremony, everyone returns to the Loveland Basin day lodge for the Honeymooner’s Apres Party with music, wedding cake, spirits and a best dressed contest (“ski wedding” attire is encouraged).

Participating couples must pre-register online by February 12 in order to receive the 2-for-1 lift ticket special. For more information, call 303-571-5580 Ext. 141.
Couples getting married are required to bring a Clear Creek County marriage license; the county office is at 405 Argentine St., Georgetown, 303-679-2339. Those renewing their vows do not need a license. All participating couples must sign in on the morning of Feb. 14th and are asked to be at the Ptarmigan Roost Cabin by 11:30 a.m.

After you say "I Do," My Big Day encourages our couples to head to the 'other' Loveland... in Northern Colorado and continue their Valentine's Day with "My Big Date Night."

My Big Date Night is a all-inclusive night out in Loveland, the Sweetheart City.
Packages are offered on 4 different days with brewery or distillery tours, shuttle service, tasters at each stop, signature Loveland cupcakes, optional hotel stay, dinner, and a gift bag from dozens of Loveland businesses!

Gift Wrapping Game
Divide groups into pairs. Each pair of people stand around a table in front of a piece of wrapping paper, a roll of tape, scissors, ribbon, and shirt gift boxes. Each pair of players stands with one arm around the other person.
Say "Go!' and the players must race to wrap their box with one person using only their right hand and the other person using only their left hand. (Keep the other hand wrapped around the partner's waist.) The first pair to wrap their gift box wins!

Ornament Guess
A great way to start of your Christmas party is to have guests guess how many ornaments are on your tree when they walk into the party. The person with the closet guess wins!

Toothpick Tower Marshmallow Game
Supplies: Toothpicks, mini-marshmallows
Who can build the tallest marshmallow tower? It may sound simple, but you have to be super fast and some what creative to win. Suggested for ages 10 and up.

Shaving Cream Santas
Supplies: Shaving Cream, plastic spoons, and paper towels.
Divide into pairs. Each pair decides who will play Santa. The Santa covers his face with shaving cream. The other player is Santa's barber. Jingle a bell to start! The teams race to "shave" their Santas. The winning team is the first to have a clean shaven Santa and sit their spoon onto the table. To signify they are done, Santa lets out a loud "Ho ho ho"! Tip: Make this an edible game for kids with Non-dairy whipped cream.

Balloon Stomping Game
Grab a bag of Dollar Store balloons and give one to each player with some curling ribbon. The players blow up their balloon and tie them to their ankles. Now blow a horn or ring a holiday bell to start the stomping! Each party guest has to stomp the other players balloons. The more you stomp, the better your chances of winning the game. The last person to have a balloon wins! Use masking or painter's tape to mark a circle of play area on the floor.

Drunk Treasure Hunt
Hide two chests with gifts in them in two different location and keep clues leading to the treasure hidden around the property. This sounds like a normal treasure hunt game but this treasure hunt is better, with every clue a team finds in this game, a bottle of whiskey is awarded. Each member of the team will have a shot of whiskey before continuing on their quest of finding the treasure. With every clue they find it will be difficult for the teams to find the treasure as their judgment will be clouded with alcohol. The best part is both teams will get presents and every participant will enjoy, especially the ones who appreciate a drink or two.

Name those Logos
Go through several magazines and cut out advertisement symbols (ie. the VW logo dot, but not the word Volkswagon). Paste each on the white side of a 3×5 card and have everyone go around the room with an answer sheet and try to identify as many of the symbols as possible.

Dressing Up Santa
With Dress Up Santa, you'll need plenty of space to play this game - preferably a large room, where there won't be much furniture in the way.
Break everyone into 2-3 equal teams, assigning each one to its own little work area in the room. In each work area is a large cardboard box housing a Santa Claus outfit (costume, boots, hat, beard 'n all)
On 'Go', all the groups compete to be the first to dress up one of their team in the full Santa gear. Set the round for 3-5 minutes To win, teams need to use up all the items in their box and produce the best dressed Santa.

What’s in your Stocking
Divide the group in to teams of 3-5 people per team. Give each team a Christmas stocking full of holiday items that has been tied shut with ribbon. (Get the Christmas stockings ready ahead of time by filling them loosely with small non-fragile objects- candy canes, plastic holly/mistletoe, plastic non-breakable tree ornaments, etc.) Set a timer and give each team 3 minutes to feel the stocking and write down all the objects that they can identify by feeling them through the stocking. The team with the most correct items wins.

The Amazing Maze Game
This is a fun party idea for a child's party. Choose a variety of Christmas curling ribbon colors in a single roll or ball. One for each player. Tie a prize or party favor to one end of each ribbon. Hide the end with the gift on it somewhere in the house. Now, unwind the ribbon and wrap it all over the room, all around furniture, over tables, under doors, anywhere it will be a fun challenge. Tie a candy cane to the other end of the ribbon. Repeat for each player, tangling the ribbons if necessary. When the guests arrive, give each one a candy cane and have them follow the ribbon to untangle it (wrapping it around their candy cane as they go). Let them know it leads to a surprise! Then, let the fun begin!

Christmas Wrapping Pin the Bow
Wrap three large boxes. Line players up single file behind each box. Give each player a giant sticky bow, spin them around and jingle a bell to start. They must walk around the box and then pin the bow on top, return to the opposite end and sit down before the next team member goes. The first team sitting down wins.

Find Santa's Reindeer
Buy some cute Dollar Store holiday stocking stuffers. Reindeer, Angels, Santas, etc. Hide them around the house. The reindeers must be found to drive Santa's sleigh. Attach a clue to each stuffer of where the next one can be found. When they find a reindeer, they line it up next to the Santa. There are 9 reindeer to be found. When all reindeer are placed next to Santa you announce the winner. The winner is the one who found Rudolph and/or placed him in the lead position next to Santa. They win the prize of their choice!

Celebrities
This is a great game for mingling at a party. Write the names of celebrities, famous people or characters on pieces of paper and stick them to the forehead or on the back of all the players (use tape or office Post-It notes). Make sure players don’t see the name. Everyone else can see your forehead or back. The objective is to figure out who you are. Others can make sounds, give clues, or act out who you are. Very fun and interactive indeed!

Christmas Pinata:
Finding group Christmas party games that everybody is sure to enjoy can be tough, but this idea will certainly bring back fond childhood memories for all of your guests. Pinatas aren’t limited to kids’ birthday parties any longer! It is now easy to find one in the shape of an ornament or reindeer. Fill yours with holiday candy and small toys and let your guests swing away (just be careful not to knock over the Christmas tree!)

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!

11/23/2013

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 moose mug, and play My Big Day's "Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!"

What you will need for this game: an 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).

My Big Day Drinking Rules:

Take One Drink Every Time...

Ellen calls Clark "Sparky"
Someone is wearing an ugly holiday sweater
There is singing or bells shaking
The swimming pool is referenced
Clark is wearing a sports team article of clothing

Additional Rules:

The entire group takes a drink whenever an advent calendar door is opened.

You must yell “Shitter’s Full!” any time you leave to use the restroom, otherwise you must finish your beer when you return.

The first person to say “Get me somebody! And get me somebody while I'm waiting!” when Frank Shirley appears on screen for the first time chooses a person to finish their drink.

The first person to stand up & fully complete the “knock on the door, peek in…” correctly WITH hand gestures during that scene gives two drinks.

At any point in the movie, you can point to someone & yell "RUSS!" If they do not respond with "Right here, dad" they must take a drink (max once per person, this could get out of control).

Anytime someone misquotes a line in the movie, they have to wear the Santa hat until it gets passed to the next person.
When the movie is over, the last person wearing the Santa hat has to shotgun a beer & finish by saying “Ahh, It’s good, It’s good. It’s good.”

* A special thank you to all the versions of this drinking game that exist on the web that allowed us to customize our own--- we appreciate everyone's spirit and love for this movie! : The black sheep online, funtrivia, christmasvacationdrinkinggame.com, drinkinggames.com, poptrivia, pophangover, littlebabygarvin, etc...
