Trying to decide on a favor for your guests to take away and remember your event or wedding day? What about desserts as your favor? After all, what's an event without something sweet. And if you provide packaging for your guests to take the sweet home, trust me, your event will never be forgotten.

As a starter, try some great tasting cake balls, as they are just the perfect sized dessert favor to send your wedding guests home with, assuring they will have sweet dreams and memories of your special day. There is packaging or some creative design concept to brighten up and gift any dessert or sweet your taste buds can imagine. Package your choice individually in small, decorative gift boxes or fancy plastic wrapping all done up in your event or color scheme and voila, you have a festive, tasty event favor as a gift for your guests. Don't forget to attach your monogram, name or thank you tag to your favor gift. Here are some photos of some other successful ideas of great favor desserts.

Adventures in Meeting & Conference Coordination

As some of you may or may not know, Alpha Prosperity Event Management got it's foundation and start in planning small business, law enforcement and association events, before adding the service of wedding planning and coordination.  Well, this past week, I had the wonderful opportuntity to return to my roots, working with an association group that is near and dear to my heart. This group has been around for just a few years and yes, they are small in relation to other associations. They operate with a very small budget but still, they are a hard working group and believe in education, networking and support coupled with caring and relaxation. Here are just a few of the highlights from their big event, held in South Padre Island, Texas.

 



Coordinating meetings, conferences and association events are always a joy for us, especially when they are held at beautiful places like this. If you are a small business or association and you are thinking about your next event, let us help. We take care of the details, so you can take care of the business of your event or association.

NACE - Houston Wedding Trends 2011

We attended the NACE - Houston Wedding Trends Event and all I can say is "wow." The theme for the event was "First Class Ticket to Trends," and it was truly first class. The cocktail hour was held at the historic Air Terminal Museum, and then all of the guests were "trollied over" to the tarmac and hangar where the big event and festivities were held. The temperature was humid and breezy as only Houston can be, but that only enticed a dress code of destination beach wedding; how fitting.

This great event was an opportunity to open your mind and to think out of the box when planning your wedding or next event. My friends kept saying that I looked as if I was daydreaming most of the evening, and in retrospect, I guess I was. My mind was working overtime, thinking of ways to incorporate some of the amazing ideas that I saw at this event. And did we mention the food - AMAZING. There were food variations and flavor combinations that I never considered, let alone tasted. Houston is full of talented vendors and designers, and it was great to see them all come together to create a destination experience and treat for the eyes and taste buds. Check out a few of my personal photos, to share the experience.
