Event Identity Appreciation Dinner

Each year, we like to express our appreciation to those that have helped Event Identity in the previous year, no matter the depth of their involvement.  It’s pleasing to take the time to say Thank You while also having the opportunity spend quality time with these people displaying a servant’s heart.  Our growing company certainly would not be the same without them! 

PLUS, it’s a little fun to be able to design décor just for us, too   Here’s a glimpse into our beautiful dinner…which of course celebrates the season as well.

Venue: 17* at The Sam Houston Hotel

Floral Design: Special Arrangements

Linens/Napkins/Chargers: Over The Top Linen

Invitation: Tiny Prints

Planner/Menus/Placecards: Event Identity

It was such a beautiful evening, and you can find more photos on Event Identity’s Facebook page!  THANK YOU to the vendors that helped display this beautiful table!

Care Packages for Fall 2013 Finals

Morning all!  This is definitely a little out of the realm of events, but this is a time that anyone who has been through college can sympathize with those currently facing their impending finals.  Event Identity wants to serve as encouragement, especially to those looking to enter the events industry!

We did this last Spring as well, and it was a welcomed surprise for those that received their packages. 

Do you know a current student in college?  If so, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!  Please help us by sharing their name, current mailing address at school, and email address so that we can send them a well wishes care package in preparation for their upcoming finals.  We ask, for privacy reasons, that you send us an email at info@event-identity.com with their name, email address, and mailing address.  If you have a note that you would like to include, please include that in the email to us as well.  We will include your well wishes in the package that we send to them!

Also an important detail, we want to know if they have special dietary restrictions!  It's important to us that we send these awesome college students foods that they can eat, snack on, and enjoy as they prepare for these intense exams.

So, who is it?  Who do you know currently in college?  Let us hear it!  We will start sending packages this Thursday, December 5th, but we can continue to send packages through early next week based on University finals schedules. 

Host or Hostess Gifts

As the guest of honor, you’re so thrilled and excited that your friends, parents’ friends, children, co-workers or other group has come together to celebrate this exciting event in your life!  As the shower approaches, it’s common etiquette to remember these individuals as they prepare for you and honor them with a token of your appreciation.

We often find that guests of honor are challenged with this step in etiquette, and they question what is an appropriate, acceptable or brilliant gift to express their gratitude.  Recently, our activities have put us in situations which constantly remind us of some great options which we’re happy to suggest to you as you consider your host/hostess gift for your shower.  Take a look at these great options!

Visit The Write Plate for erasable and re-writable escort cards, buffet cards, menu cards, and magnet tile.  Each of these is ceramic and uses a dry erase marker to write and re-write!

Consider this wonderful option given that your host/hostess likely is already willing to host at their home or other location, so this will likely be able to help them in the future!

Also, along the line of honoring your host/hostess offering of your shower, consider contributing to their future hosted events, as well, with a new hostess set.  Perhaps, if you know them well enough, you might be able to determine the brand and collection for which they already have their flatware.

Nevertheless, we recently came across a variety of hostess sets on clearance at our local Bed, Bath and Beyond. What a great idea to gift your host or hostess and be able to save money as well!

On a different note, perhaps your host/hostess likes to travel, has a fun trip coming up, or maybe they’ll be traveling with you for your destination wedding!  There’s a variety of items that you could shop to find something that would benefit them in their travels, but we found this great travel jewelry case from LusterLoc.

You can find this at Nordstrom or on Amazon.  What a great opportunity to appreciate your wonderful friend or family member!

Regardless of what you ultimately find, it’s wonderful for your host/hostess to see that you appreciated the efforts they contributed toward hosting your beautiful celebration.  If you are investing the time to think of them and gifting an item or thoughtful expression that displays to them your gratitude, then you are doing the ‘etiquette thing’ right   Most importantly, congratulations on your shower!
