The Party Collab
We make your party dreams become a reality! Giving you the opportunity to find out who you would like to work with in your next event and tips for being an event planner yourself!
Sometimes The Party Collab is approached with an event that has a scheduling conflict for one of us. Or sometimes Sarah or Melanie are approached by a friend or neighbor that we figure out if we want to put it under the The Party Collab, Cultivate with Sarah, or Melicious Events name.
This year we had a few weddings that fell in our laps through referrals and family friends, which we did individually. In this episode you'll hear how those wedding went. After our wedding season came to a close, we both agreed that weddings are just better with two wedding coordinators than one. It's much easier that way.

We sometimes coordinate week of/day of and other times we have a wedding like Rob and Yeeven's. They only had a few vendors selected and plans put together when we joined up with them and planned the entire rest of the way! By planning alongside with a couple, we always learn a lot. Each couple and each wedding are different so we are constantly learning on how to approach situations better than before.
This wedding was fun to plan because we were able to introduce our couple to so many of our favorite vendors. Plus, they just wanted a party once all the traditional stuff got out of the way. That was amazing and so fun. (You'll hear about the fanny pack drop dance in this episode).

Sydney and David's celebration lasted two long beautiful days and we were so happy to be there! Sydney has previously been a wedding planner and knew that day of, she did not want to do all the things that were to come. It was so smart of her to hire the both of us to help. And based off of how wiped out we were by the end of the weekend, we knew we did our jobs justice.
This episode is full of some background craziness, some opinions on logistics, some downright fun, and comments on the grandma we wanted to adopt!

It may seem like we talk about traditions a lot...because we do. Haha!
"Traditions are memory makers!" They anchor us, help our kids and families feel secure, they ensure excitement, and instill a trusting expectation.

This last week was a very busy one with 3 events, almost back to back. Event though we loved all events we do, we loved one in particular.
One of our dear friends at West 10th (the most amazing business and mobile app that we did an Influencer Party for a few months ago), Sara, turned 40 and she asked us to plan her celebration! There are a few perfect things about this party, but this is the biggest one: Sara is the IDEAL client. She is excited about everything, she is helpful, kind, is a giver, and wants others to succeed.
It was so fun to use the West 10th app for almost all aspects of this party! Check these women-run home based businesses on the West 10th App:
Kinly Creations (charcuterie board master)
The Heirloom Peach (creator of the most beautiful cakes)
Mind Body Kitchen (your food expert!)
The Party Collab (amazing event planning plus a few skills of chalkboard signs, balloons, and organization in your events)
Benrik Leather (so phenomenal that she and Sara designed leather earrings specifically for this birthday!)
Treats by Mojo (unexplainably delicious, you have to try her cupcakes for yourself!)
Clarity Lane Photography (Savannah has the BEST smile and talent for photographing!)
So basically, download this app and experience amazing women business owners for your next event or need!

Its the most wonderful tiiiiiiime of the year....or so we thought.
This school year is completely different than what we all imagined. Usually there is celebration that your kids will see all their friends again, maybe some celebration as a parent to let teachers entertain and teach their children, instead of them all summer long, and its just a fun season to start fresh.
This is not the case at all with so much homeschooling and less needs to make a big positive deal out of the new school year. We were inspired to discuss how to make it a special time, even with all that is going on with COVID. @partywithcarly made THE CUTEST backdrop for anyone's school at home, so starting off with a shout out to one of the most creative people we know, listen up to hear some tips&tricks to make this school year fun once again!
We are GLAD you asked!
This app is amazing. You may be familiar to the online shop of etsy.com. On Etsy however, there are SO many artists and craftsmen that your work can get lost. It's easy to find what you want on there, but you don't know what location they are based in. There are charges everywhere you have to pay, and there are many hidden manufacturers on the site that take away the success of smaller businesses.
NOW, there is West 10th! This is the app that you need to download NOW! It localizes women-based businesses around you to choose from. On the app, it is simple to contact, order, and pay for your products! You also have the satisfaction of supporting women home-based businesses that want to thrive and need to be seen in order to do so.
We have the pleasure of working with the women who started and own West 10th for an event they are holding. Each one of them moves forward with the vision in mind of helping these businesses grow. They are also so kind, smart, and excited!
Have we convinced you yet? ;)
West Tenth Website to download the app for yourself! (Keep in mind that if you are a woman and have a business running out of your home or have a smaller storefront, you may want to consider having a storefront on the app!)
It all started with a birthday party she threw for her mom and sister in 2018. Morgan Heywood began the best journey of her life yet and it's clear that she loves events!
