Make Your Event Really Cool with an Ice Sculpture

ice sculpture of corporate logoWant to add a really cool - literally - and elegant feature to your event decor? If so, you might order a custom-designed ice sculpture or ice bowl. We are fortunate to have a local master ice carver, Danny Spangler, owner of Ice is Nice in Star, who can create just about any design you want, whether it be a romantic design for your wedding reception or anniversary party, your corporate logo, sports team logo or another design. Size is not an issue; Danny has created very large designs as well as smaller ones, depending on your budget and space limitations.

An ice sculpture will create a focal point for your party. If you prefer something useful as well as decorative, you might order one or two ice bowls. The bowls come in a wide variety of styles, which can include fresh fruit or flowers frozen into the design. The bowl contains a plastic liner that can be filled with punch, salad or a couple bottles of your favorite wine or champagne. A light placed under the bowl highlights the design. An ice bowl makes a stunning centerpiece on your buffet or beverage table.

An average sized ice sculpture displayed indoors will usually last 5 to 7 hours. If placed outdoors, depending on the temperature, the sculpture may last only 4 or 5 hours. It should not be placed in direct sunlight. An ice bowl filled with punch or salad is best displayed indoors where it will stay cool and won't attract insects. If you order from Ice is Nice, your sculpture or bowl will be delivered and set up on a special lighted base designed to both highlight the design and catch the melting ice, preventing damage to tables and floors.

To make your next event really stand out, consider adding an ice sculpture or an ice bowl to your decor. Your guests will love it and the cost is more affordable than you may think.

Know Someone Turning 65? Plan a "Welcome to Medicare" Party

Image
Aging is a fact of life. We can't slow it down; we can't stop it, so why not have fun with it? If you know someone who will soon celebrate a 65th birthday, you may want to plan a "Welcome to Medicare" party. Invitations might be in the style of a Medicare card. Decorations might include additional Medicare cards in varying sizes (Medicare placemats?) and red, blue and white decorations. You might even serve red, white and blue foods, such as red velvet birthday cake, vanilla ice cream, blueberries and/or strawberries with red or blue punch. A short program that includes funny stories, poems or embarrassing incidents associated with aging or Medicare will keep your guests in stitches. If the honoree is in good health, guests might be encouraged to have fun with gifts, bringing such things as a cane or a large magnifying glass. If, however, the person suffers from a serious health issue, foregoing gifts in favor of cards only may be more appropriate. Don't l...

Planning a European Honeymoon or Vacation? State Department Issues Warnings

Image
Are you thinking of traveling to Europe anytime soon, perhaps for a honeymoon or vacation? If so, be sure to check the U.S. State Department's travel website for information and warnings. On May 1, 2017 the State Department issued a travel alert to Europe, saying ,         “widely-reported incidents in France, Russia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom demonstrate that the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham (ISIS or Da’esh), al-Qa’ida, and their affiliates have the ability to plan and execute terrorist attacks in Europe.”

Creating and Responding to Requests for Proposals (RFP)

From time to time I receive RFPs from companies, government agencies and non-profits planning a conference, awards banquet or another large community event. Some are detailed, making it easy to respond. Others are very general, making one guess exactly what the planners have in mind. When I receive a general RFP I need to decide whether I have the time to find out what is needed and do the research to provide a detailed, comprehensive proposal. Often I choose not to respond. A poorly prepared RFP can be a sign of a poorly organized planner or planning committee, making the event planner's work more difficult. The event planner should not have to manage the planners, as well as the event.
