THE TRUE MEANING OF "PARTY"

I started planning parties for friends and family while still in college. I was just about to get a degree in Psychology, when a friend of the family said "Viv" you have to help me plan my wedding!! You are a natural at it... "hmmm" I thought to myself, "yeah and I love doing it"... So, I planned my very first wedding and I never looked back. I launched Bella Notte Events shortly after and have been planning all sorts of events since then... I guess you can say I never pursued a career in psychology, unless you consider all the "counseling sessions" I have had with my clients as they plan and approach their "Big Day", or my corporate clients when they stress about their budget.. Do you agree, that "having" a party or "going" to a party or event has to mean much more to us than it seems at the surface. If you think about it, EVERYONE on earth at some point in time and of course in their own way have attended a party, or given one. Why do you suppose they are so meaningful? Because.... people WILL celebrate!! It is part of our nature to want to be joyful and share our joys with family and friends.. This is why I decided to be a party planner, what an awesome job, to be able to be part of someone's biggest joy, their wedding, their first child, the end of an era, or..... do we really need a reason to have a party..
No, Life is reason enough....

I see parties as "mini productions" and the star is "YOU"! The Audience is your guests and the purpose is for you to have one night to be the "star" the "celebrity" of the night!! WE ALL deserve to be the center of attention every now and then and to be celebrated by our friends and family..
So, C'mon what are you waiting for , start celebrating YOUR LIFE!!!
