Yet every third Saturday. UFOH Fish Fiesta at St. Benedicts is the place to hang out. \nSt. Benedicts Episcopal Church\n7801 NW 5th Street\nPlantation\, FL 33324 \n(954) 245-1551\n(954) 803-9008\n(305) 710-7842[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nHow to Create a Great All-White Party\nTo celebrate our amazing year and to get the team ready for more changes to come\, we decided to have a party! But not just any party. We wanted to create an environment for our team that represents what we talk about all the time… living life beautifully. \nThere is just something magical about going to a party with a purpose and a theme… from the invitations to décor and everything in between. And the best part? It just was not that difficult to do.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]So here is how we threw our magical white party…[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Invite \nIt’s always fun and important to set the stage with a great invitation. We love to use Paperless Post\, an online invitation service that allows you to choose and send invitations that reflects the tone of the party and your individual aesthetic. Their cards make a great statement and also provide you with a trackable guest list and RSVP system. \nOf course\, on our invitation we informed the team that they were to wear all white\, which created lots of dialogue about what to wear and what might lie ahead at our all staff celebration. \nDetermine Your Location \nIf you are going to have a white party\, you will likely want to have it outside. In our case\, the perfect venue was Kelli and Jeff’s backyard with their beautiful pool and comfortable outdoor furniture \nThink About Simple Décor that Can Make the Biggest Difference \nThe simplicity of white against the lush green of the landscaping and the stunning aqua from the pool made for a beautiful backdrop for our event. \nWe chose to use over sized white balloons (which can be found at Nobbies) to float in the pool. These balloons can be filled to be 25-30” in diameter and were weighted down by sand at the end of the balloon string. The result was beautiful. \nOf course\, we also used a combination of white flowers and greens for our floral arrangements. We kept them simple\, unstructured (5 minute floral arrangements) and naturally beautiful. \nNapkins\, plates and serving trays were also kept white…along with a good portion of the menu. \nCreate a Signature Drink \nYou don’t need to create a signature drink\, but it is an easy way to support your theme and make a gathering memorable. We chose an icy white drink that was fitting for the theme and the heat of the night. \nEveryone looked especially beautiful in their all white outfits and the back yard provided all sorts of comfortable seating that allowed us to relax by the pool…enjoying each other’s company.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nEnjoying Success\nWe took a few moments to celebrate our successes over the past year and then Kelli quickly turned to sharing our vision of the next year to come and some exciting changes that we are planning on making. (Yes\, this is a little teaser. So\, keep posted in the next few months as we start a new blog series that will share in greater detail our plans for the future.) \nIt was a great meeting! As the day turned to night\, we wanted to end the night by making a wish for the future. Each member of our team made a personal wish and we sent off 15 wish lanterns into the dark of night. \nDon’t be shy about dropping by and letting us help you brainstorm simple\, elegant ways to throw your own amazing gathering![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
