I must start off by saying I love the opportunities Elissa and Amanda offer me and Adrienne while interning for them. On Friday, they gave us the opportunity to plan a mock party to give us the experience of choosing decorations and planning out the details. Adrienne and I decided on the classic Las Vegas theme and came up with a slew of decorations we could have used if we were actually carrying out the party.

Between Friday and Monday, we spent the days specifying each detail of the "event" and even look through the back storage to see what we could use from the back, to cut back on the budget. We found a bunch of Vegas themed decorations, from cards to red and silver shred, and even little glass boxes which could be used for dice. I was introduced to a wonderful tool, the Cricut. This device is able to cut out various shapes, as long as you have the proper cartridge, making cutting out letters virtually effortless and flawless. After looking at everything we had, Adrienne and I began brainstorming what we could create.

At the end everything, we came up with the idea of creating red and white dice of different sizes and stacking them for the main decoration. We also found these large cards in the back that we thought would look great coming out of the top of the dice towers. To give the dice a little more Vegas feel, we thought it would be a good idea to have a few big poker chips on the tower. For the center pieces, we thought doing little black and red dice with small cards coming out the top, filled with dice, would be a nice continuation for the Vegas theme. Finally, just for decorations around the room, we thought sticking the larger cards out of big red tins we found in the back, covered in red or silver shred would be great.

Amanda and Elissa both loved our ideas and thought we were on the right track when planning decorations. Maybe, if someone comes in for asking for a Vegas themed party, Adrienne and I have given Perfect Productions a great head start on the decorations!
