Girls Shopping Night In

Summer is here and it’s time to party!  What better way to do so than get your girlfriends together for a night of cocktails and shopping in the privacy of your own home.  There are some great products out there and the sales consultants come to your home.  TSP recently hosted a Thirty One Bag party with consultant, Claudia Ciasullo.  The only thing you need to do is open your home to your guests, perhaps put out some finger foods, beverage and voila!  You have yourself a Girls Shopping Night In.

I was fortunate to meet Claudia at one of my events.  As she watched me in my typical struggle of carting multiple boxes and supplies at the event, she approached me and said “I have to introduce you to Thirty One bags.”   Now all my event supplies are packed up nicely and I just grab my bags and go!

Claudia was excellent to work with and so much fun!  She comes in, sets up her displays and goes through the items quickly and efficiently.  What’s great about this is you can actually see the majority of the items from the catalog in person.  Claudia also shows you multiple ways to use the products that you wouldn’t even think of yourself.   They carry everything from thermal totes, to storage bins to carry-all bags. 

Now we all know it’s June and for those who have kids finishing up the school year, the chaos (and mess) in the household is about to explode to new levels.  It’s also time to pack up on the weekends and hit the beach!  So before that happens take control and get organized with some Thirty One bags.   

Claudia can be reached directly at ctc8100@yahoo.com.  You can browse her Thirty One site here: http://www.mythirtyone.com/64330/ Please be sure to let her know The Silver Platter referred you!

Mother’s Day Brunch

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and there’s still time to prepare to make mom feel extra special!  Sure you can book reservations for a nice brunch, but why not do one for her at home?  Think about some of mom’s favorite foods and start planning your menu from there.  For instance, my mom’s favorite food is blueberry pancakes, so I’ll be serving a blueberry lovers breakfast including; blueberry pancakes, muffins and a blue-mosa (sparkling blueberry juice & champagne).  I’ll also throw in some basic breakfast foods, eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc, but that little attention to detail of mom’s favorite foods will go a long way.  You don’t need to be at the Ritz to make mom feel like a million bucks.  Break out the nice tablecloth, napkins and china…throw together a bright colored floral arrangement, or cylinders with fresh colorful fruit, and voila!  A Mother’s Day brunch that is affordable, from the heart and memorable for mom.  Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

Kelly's Baby Shower

Nothing is more exciting than showering a new mommy-to-be with adorable gifts for her bundle of joy! For this candy loving mommy, we added a few special touches that ended up being decorative for the shower and useful in the end. The lollipop bouquets were made of wash cloths, burp cloths and receiving blankets. Another item that newborns can never have enough is onesies. So instead of packaging them in your typical gift bag, we made them into onesie rolls. And of course the guests couldn't leave without a candy treat of their own. The homemade teddy bear chocolate lollipop favors were a big hit. This candy themed decor is now all unwrapped and being used for newborn baby Michael Sylvester Amatangelo! Congratulations Kelly & Mike!

Lindsay & Jonny’s Destination Wedding…the day has come!

So we’ve shared the details with you from our destination bride and groom thus far, and the day has come. As you know from our previous posts, ordinary wasn’t in this couple’s vocabulary. Their creativity and imagination ran wild when deciding on their wedding day print materials.

This Cayman Island Destination Wedding began with guests receiving a welcome bag filled with goodies and a unique map of the island. The map showed key locations of the weekend events, with important details listed on the back. At the ceremony the guests stayed cool with custom program fans, accented with palm tree designs and satin ribbon to tie in the couple’s mango and pineapple color scheme. After the “I do’s” were complete, the Mr. & Mrs. escorted their guests to a breathtaking ocean front venue to continue the celebration. Upon arrival, guests were greeted with a fabulous custom seating chart guiding them to their appropriate seats. They chose to name their tables after memorable locations from their 12 years (yes I said 12) of dating! Finally guests were able to select their dinner option from a delightful custom menu.

These amazing designs were all brought to life by Laura Hooper Calligraphy. Laura’s ability to understand your idea and execute it perfectly was amazing. She was a pleasure to work with and was extremely communicative through the entire process.

The Silver Platter would like to thank Lindsay and Jonny for using our services to assist with your wedding print materials! The day was beautiful and I wish you endless years of happiness together as husband and wife!

Tyler Joseph's Baptism

What a beautiful day it turned out to be for Tyler Joseph’s Baptism! Over one hundred of his closest family and friends gathered for his celebration. Looking super handsome in his fabulous white outfit, Tyler watched wide-eyed as everyone celebrated with him. The Silver Platter (TSP) was happy to be a part of this special day.

We were hired for a full event planning service from start to finish. Proud parents, Courtney and Tom, were a pleasure to work with! From our initial consultation to packing up the car at the end of the event, TSP was with them every step of the way. We assisted with invitations (researching vendors, stuffing and mailing), entertainment for the children, centerpieces, flowers and décor, running errands for our client, picking up party supplies, delivering completed items to client’s home and event location, setting up the event location, accepting food delivery and clean up.

By the time the family was done celebrating at church, all they had to do was walk in to the reception and enjoy Tyler’s special day with their guests. TSP also provided servers to handle all of their guests’ needs during the reception and for final clean up. We had a wonderful time and were honored to be a part of this little man’s big day!

If you’re looking to have an upcoming event and are stressing about how to manage it all, give us a call. We will happily arrange our planning packages to suit your needs and budget!

Mom, Dad and the man of the hour, baby Tyler!
