On Friday, October 2, my work hosted its third anniversary party. It was a blast. Great food and drink. Wonderful people.
The days leading up to the party were slammed. We were busy building an e-mail campaign, pitching to clients, traveling to meet with clients, doing photo shoots, and creating new designs. There was hardly time for party planning. But as Paul put it, “The party is a tradition every year, but scrambling to make it happen has become a tradition, too.” With that mindset, we made it happen.
We got everything set up in time, including all beverages and food, on top of all party decorations. The office truly looked its best with featured projects we’ve done, flowers, candles and damn clean desks. Our trusty e-vite RSVP list failed to mention that ‘66 confirmed guests’ translates to about 90 guests. Needless to say, all the food was devoured in the first couple of hours.
Though we were slightly off in our numbers, it hardly took being with Scout last year to know that this was our biggest and most successful party yet. It was a ton of fun. Other hits of the night included tables set up outside, a bartender to help feed our thirsty attendees, new artwork, noteworthy attire, and an About Town photographer. You couldn’t help but want to stay a good while. We had one guest who intended to stay ‘just 10 minutes’ and ended up staying the entire night. Gotta love that. I know all of us at Scout enjoyed the conversations with clients, friends and family, and we finally found time to take our first group shot together. Pretty good lookin’ crew, if I do say so myself.
We are already looking forward to next year’s fourth anniversary party and having everyone, and their brother, back again.
