It's 18 months until the big 30!

It's time to get planning! Need to organise a venue to begin with and then everything else will be sorted later on. I've got this vision of a Winter Wonderland theme (see above image). Hoping to keep it to a budget of £3000 but hoping to come in cheaper! It depends on the venue to be honest. Hotel will be more expensive than your average village hall but it has the added bonus of rooms afterwards and everything would be all in. It would be launch the Sparkle Events and would show everyone that I was serious.

Nick wants a 30th too so we will have to plan something for him which is another party to add to my portfolio plus hopefully a couple of kids parties rolled in. Thomas' 1st birthday will be a jungle themed garden party depending on the weather and Alana's is undecided. I will keep you posted!

In the beginning...

Today is the first day and as corny as it sounds the start of the rest of my life. Since planning my wedding I've really thought about making a career out of party planning, I tried The Body Shop at Home but unfortunately my friends weren't exactly forthcoming with offers of parties and unless you like their products then its kind of a dead market. So have decided that the way forward is to start my own company.

It's a big decision but its one I think EVENTUALLY I will be ready for but obviously the time has to be right.

There are various ideas that I have and I will be including them in this blog as they come, starting with my 30th Birthday and then Nick's and then other birthday parties for Alana and Thomas so they can be included in my portfolio as a starting point.

And so it begins...
