Well, I've been told for some time that I should have a blog for Celebration! Banquets so everyone can keep up with what we're up to and what a great company we are - so what better time than July 3. I actually have a lot to blog about considering our Kit Kittredge party yesterday afternoon was a huge success (gale force winds and all)!
Celebration! Cinema/Banquets teamed up with Etissentials, Modern Photographics, the GR Public Museum and the GR Press to provide a fun filled afternoon for about 160 girls and their moms (and some dads) to celebrate the opening of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. The event was held in our Wave Room and consisted of an etiquette lesson by Stacey from Etissentials as well as a presentation on "getting the story" by Trisha from the Press. Wendy from the mueseum was also on hand dressed to the nines in Victorian era clothing to talk about different American girl eras, particularly the Depression, which is Kit's era. Modern Photographics completed the group by taking pictures of the girls to put in their keepsake frames that they created during craft time. Most girls saw the movie either before or after the party thus making a day of Kit.
We provided lemonade and ice tea for the "tea party" portion of the event and each girl got a cupcake as well. We also were able to give everyone a Kit Kittredge t-shirt, poster, and bookmark. One lucky lady even was the big winner of an official Kit Kittredge American Girl doll!
It was a great afternoon - a great way to promote some awesome area businesses and get people out not only for a movie, but also for an experience! I'm looking forward to doing more parties like this.
In the next edition watch for Mamma Mia! Taste Party promotions and the Mayweather Foundation (did you hear Floyd is retiring?!).
