This week was the week of our Fashion Show Viewing Party!!!!!
Monday we started out with a morning meeting at Starbucks to go over all of our plans for the week. We lined out who had what responsibility and a timeline for the next 24 hours. It was a great experience splitting up the work and trusting that your work parter will do what is expected from them. After our meeting I went to Party Galaxy to get the decorations, plates, cups and utensils. Then to Target to order balloons for our party. I also confirmed our reservation to use our venue. After I ran errands, I created a Facebook event for our party, and invited all the people we had already invited. It was my first time to create a Facebook event, and it was a great learning experience regarding social media. I thought the Facebook event would be a great reminder about the event, as well as the location and time.
Tuesday was the big day! I went to Walmart and bought the food and drinks we needed for the party. I also order a platter of Chick-fil-a nuggets for the party. Then I headed to Kappa Hall to start setting up for the event. I had to set up over 60 chairs and get the tables set up as well. After I had Kappa Hall initially set up, I went to pick up the chick-fil-a platter, as well as many bags of ice. I returned and finished setting up the food and the smaller decorations. We opened the doors at 8:00 and the party lasted until 10:00. The party was a huge success! We had almost 50 girls attend, we gave away raffle drawings during each commercial break and I think everyone had a great time! After the show everyone stayed around to talk for a while, and then we had to clean up and put up all the chairs. Tuesday was such a long day, but it was such a great feeling to know that all our hard work had paid off! It was the first time I was 100% in charge of planning such a large event and it was an amazing learning experience! It was also SO fun!
