Put together a “Dream Team” . . . include your “Creative Geniuses”, your “Work Horses” & your “Detail Folks”!

ASK YOURSELF . . . Why are we having a party? What are we celebrating? Think of who you’re inviting and what would make them feel special! By the end of the party you want to be able to say that you’ve accomplished your goal!!!
