Arlene Pecora's Corporate Event Planning
Corporate events don’t need to be dull and boring – here are a few tips to spice them up! Here are 3 fun, unusual that can really help knit that team tightly together!
1. Adventures of Secret Agents
This corporate event is almost like a scavenger hunt – teams are given agendas and the winner receives a prize!
2. Drumming Workshops
These have become quite popular in the past few years. Drumming workshops are a great way to get a lot of people involved, and are far more directed towards team building than some other events. Workmates learn to work in synergy. There's a selection of percussion instruments and people will need to work together to transport and set up the experience also.
3. Go Karting
Go karts are an activity that any adult would love! Relieve stress by racing to the finish line with your co-workers and even try to beat your boss! These types of activities for adults can be found at local arcades – a fun place for adults to go unwind. They usually feature party rooms which can be held for your staff!

Baby Shower Planning
Time and Date
Baby showers are generally held a few months before the baby is born. Most baby showers are planning after the sex is learned (so that the theme can coordinate with this as well).
Location
Generally, baby showers are held at the host's home. This rule is not set in stone and can be held anywhere! Catering halls, friend's homes, etc.
Budget
With these types of parties, even the smallest accessories can add up to large amounts. Be sure to set a budget (whether tight or generous) and try to stay within the limits.
Guest List
Create a list of guests that the mommy-to-be would expect at her shower and go from there. Remember, if your budget is tighter, you may need to trim the guest list a little!
Select a Theme
Generally, baby showers these days are theme-based. This helps for you to plan the decor, menu and other aspects of the baby shower. Theme, while minor, really help bring the entire baby shower together.
Invitations
Baby shower invitations can be store-purchased or homemade. Be sure to send these out well in advance so guests can plan ahead!
Menu
The menu actually depends on the time of the day as well as the theme of the party. They can be as simple as appetizers and finger foods, or as elegant as catered event with various courses of dishes that will be served to the guests.
Baby Shower Games
Games are a great way to break the ice and let your guests interact with each other. Select games that allow prizes (which are just small tokens) and enjoy the fun!

Hollywood Themed Weddings

A Hollywood theme wedding can have many different point of views including getting in to the character of your favorite movie couple. Or you can actually mimic specific features of your wedding that are the same as your favorite true life Hollywood movie stars such as a wedding gown or cake style. With a few key elements and an incredible amount of creative possibilities, your Hollywood theme wedding will be a night for you as well as your guests to remember.
Having a Wedding Hollywood Style
The individual details of your Hollywood Theme wedding are the most critical touches to pulling off your wedding day. You can be creative with sending out your invitations such as wording the invitation much like a movie awards show and using a custom designed gold seal on the outer envelope.
There are several wedding favors that will be available to you - such as the Fashioncraft Popcorn Themed Wedding candle. Try renting a venue such as an old theater to celebrate your big day!
