Happy Valentine’s Day to all my lovelies!
A couple weekends ago I co-hosted my very first Influencer Galantine’s Day party and it was such a fun experience. We chose a Sunday afternoon and the weather was gorgeous. There was no dearth of sartorial fabulosity as the influencers rolled in one by one. Most of the guests were dressed in shades of pinks and reds and it was a complete break-the-internet moment.
Well, some of our guests wanted to know the reason for hosting a Galantine’s Party? Besides the fun element, it was our effort to foster community building between brands and influencers. As influencers we attend events, but never get to meet the folks who work hard to put the show together. We invited all our vendors who contributed towards this party. This gave the attending influencers a chance to connect with them on a more personal and professional level.
Party Details
Our theme was ” BUBBLES WITH BESTIES “- totally apt as we had bubbles and besties and bites. We hosted the party on my co-host’s Nancy building penthouse and the venue was perfect! We went with a floor setting as we wanted it to be a cozy, casual, and have a relaxed feel. The picnic and the ballon setup was provided by the amazing duo Gabby and her husband of Dreamy Picnic.
Food and Beverage
Coming to other details like food and desserts, so Belaire and Dupont Wines were the official sponsors of our bubblies. They gifted us eight bottles of bubbly and it was just enough for 24 ladies. We as in the two hosts even came back home with a bottle each. Further celebrations continues at home.
Since it was an afternoon event, we wanted our guests to leave with their tummy and hearts full. We chose Greek food for that matter- it is yummy and easier to mess free to eat. I’ve worked with Souvlaki in the past and it was appropriate to include them in this celebratory event too. We had Greek Salad, Chicken Skewers, Pilaf, Pita bread and Spanakopita and it was the best menu ever.
For desserts we had cake pops and cupcakes from Cakes by Lala, chocolate ladoos from Petit Jardin by Sanji and Gluten free vegan brownies from Fetching Goodies. It was the most generous and yummiest dessert spread.
We had a couple of small businesses as our swag bag sponsors. Thanks to Gurpreet of Saaj_by_G and Simone of GoodBrowsDMV for their generosity.
Any event is incomplete without pictures, lots of it. We had a Kathleen as our official photographer and EyeObee as our Photo Booth sponsor. They did an incredible job of capturing the event and making it a memorable one for us!
Lastly, let me introduce you to my amazing co-host Nancy. Without Nancy this event wouldn’t have been possible. She did most of the hard work and coordination and all these pictures are a testimony to her hard work. I think we made an incredible team and look forward to hosting many more events together- CHEERS!
