Dress Code: Satin or Silk Pajamas
Time: We had it from 5:00-7:00pm as an evening event in the
beautiful space at Bravely Studio in Bryan, Texas!
GOALS
The first goal was to share business dreams, encouragement and inspiration with each other. We definitely value COLLABORATION over competition. We showed off our creativity by donating items as a part of the event. Each person contributed in some way to make this event special.
The second goal was to create content for each person's business or brand. A great way to show off a service or product is to photograph that product or service being used! So, our photographers were able to capture great moments throughout the event and highlight the vendors and businesses through photographs.
PLANNING THE EVENT
Planning an event takes TIME and COORDINATION! An amazing job was done getting everyone on a message board and delegated who would bring each item or service. A clear vision of what was expected and communicated clearly to everyone. A vision board was created with the Dress Code, Date, Time & Location and What to Expect and included pictures of everything from the color scheme to the food and decor. This part is crucial not to overlook. Clearly stating what your expectations are for the event is key to a successful party!
Timeline of Event
3:00-5:00pm the day of event, vendors and businesses came to Bravely Studio to set up their portion of the event. Depending on the part, we allowed two hours for set up but some only needed a few minutes, while the balloon backdrop, tablescape and mini bar set up took longer.
5:00-5:45pm Take photos of the venue decorated, get drinks, do video content of the decorations, chat with other entrepreneurs, and take turns getting photos with different groups of ladies.
5:45-6:45pm Enjoy drinks and a light dinner together picnic style while photographers continue to take lifestyle photos at the first part of the dinner. We talked about our brand or business and enjoyed each other's insight into our business goals and aspirations. We enjoyed pastry puffs and cake for dessert.
6:45-7:00pm We wrapped up our dinner and dessert together, then it was time for clean up. Everyone was responsible for their part and cleaned up after the event.
