Open Sesame? 🤔

😮😮Aww Snaps! The world is ~opening back up~ and A LOT of folks seem ready to burn all the PPE they’ve acquired over the last year and a half and live it up! We’re talking flights, cruises, clubbing, parties and everything in between—and the urge to run head first, no mask or social distancing protocols is 😬INTENSE😬. Part of that intensity, one could assume is because the weather is warm, the days are long and by golly summer is ripe with party possibilities and folks feel the need to take advantage of it before the dark days of Winter are upon us again.

And while do love us a good shindig because celebrations are our jam, we are also acutely aware of the fact that gathering together will likely not look or feel the same way it has in the past—and honestly, we think that’s a great thing! Hear us out—we’re not advocates of taking the fun out of your PAR-TAY, we’ve just given thought to the fact that when much of the world shifted to virtual platforms to carry out their functions, so did celebrations—granted they were not the same and some may have griped that some of the magic of celebrations were lost because folks were confined behind their computer or phone screens. We feel the 💫✨magic✨💫 and meaning behind each celebration was not lost—our perspective on what a ‘celebration’ or ‘party’ should look like based on what we had experienced in our lifetime simply stood in the way of us realizing the possibility of a new way to enjoy gatherings.

These events are what we make them and before we default to an old habit of only having in-person events, let’s consider stretching our imagination to consider what virtual elements we’d like to keep, adapt, refine to create more dynamic event experiences for guests.
