Launch Party Update/ Party Crowd Update

Hello everyone.

Since I am posting the albums of the weekly winners for the final round of the Designer Showcase Contest on The Party Crowd Fan Page, I thought I would do an update on what's going on at The Party Crowd.

Launch Party
Our first Official Launch Party is in Houston, TX on June 9th. Looks like we will have about 100 guests attending--Wow! We are allowing comapanies to showcase their business with a table at the event if they choose. We plan on letting everyone know what The Party Crowd's mission is and what they can expect if they decide to become members. This is so exciting!!!

Upcoming Launch Parties
I plan on doing launch parties all over the US. Next stop I believe will be Atlanta, Georgia! I moved to Houston 3 years ago but spent 20 years in Atlanta before that. I think we could get a good crowd to an event there. After that--Arizona, Forida, North/South Carolina. New York/New Jersey, and Southern California. I am hoping to have some regional managers in place to help with the other Launch Parties.

Next Contest
Or next contest is a virtual bake off. I have invited cake makers, cookie designers, cupcake makers, cake pop makers and candy buffet companies to particpate. The contest will run for 4 weeks. So far we are getting a great response. the Contest starts June 6th.


Houston Event
The next Houston Event I would like to start to put together is a children's party expo. I would like to hold one in The Woodlands, Katy and Sugarland. I will invite all party people in the children's catagory to particpate.

We have a lot of fun stuff coming up.

We have a private group on Facebook for our members and vendors. Once you become a member you will be able to join the group. I plan on having some fun weekly topics and discussions and other things planned.

Membership
A one year membership to The Party Crowd is $100. This entitles you to discounts from over 30 vendors, listings on our website, networking events, private group on Facebook and so much more to come. You can become a member right on Facebook in our shop. Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/thepartycrowd?sk=app_138996027389

Our third designer this evening is: CAKE HOLE PROJECT
They are located in Phoenix, Arizona
Here is some background taken from their website:
Perfect Marriage of Art and Science

Take one part architect, one part surveyor, apply a metric ton of creativity, a few thousand joules of elbow grease and voilà — you’ve got Cake Hole Project!

Our first centerpiece was borne out of challenge by one our friends requesting something special to hold 70 cupcakes at her wedding. We researched what was out there and concluded that most cupcake holders were poorly designed and didn’t fit the bill. We embarked on a project to create our own.

We put our heads together, drawing on our backgrounds in design and construction collectively and baked on a few ideas. We considered the space and the audience. Inspired by dried flowers — a threaded rod, a few stainless steel nuts and some custom -cut masonite later, a magical, hanging cupcake holder was born and so was our company.

What We Do for You

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Cake Hole Project handcrafts each display to the highest standards of quality and design. Our contemporary centerpieces come in all shapes and sizes from sturdy tabletop models to elegant, twirling, ceiling-mounted units. Displays hold from 8 to 40 cupcakes …or whatever you like. We offer custom design, consultation and production services for the most discriminating of tastes, so if you need something unique — give us a jingle. We love a good challenge!
