Inside the Cave – OK, since our last post you’ve now got your Super Bowl Betting Pool all ready to go for your party (you’ll have a blast with it!); and now you’re probably thinking: FOOD. A little known fact in western society is that a properly done Super Bowl party is also known as a “Destroyer of New Year’s Resolutions”…Goodbye diet plan! Get ready for a great game and lots of fun food! Now almost everyone has a “signature” appetizer or dish that they’re...

We wanted to do something special for my brother Gavin for his 30th birthday this year, and boy did we ever…we managed to throw a SURPRISE party for 25 people in about 3 days and with almost no stress. (The only stress being we planned it around his flight arrival which ended up being 3 hours late!) But have no fear…here at 3P we had snacks, drinks, favors to be given, party music playing (which is really important to set the mood!), dinner ready, and everyone had a great...
Hearts for Hope Tea is an event we love, sponsor and help organize to give back. The tea benefits CCM, and low-income/at-risk kids in the Las Vegas Valley. 5 “Always” for Organizing a Meeting or Fundraiser Start Up: Always have your first meeting a minimum of 4-6 months out, depending on the size and complexity of your event. Give your team a minimum of 3 weeks notice and always send out a reminder the week of. Always add fun elements to the meeting,...
Holiday Party in January: Easiest Potluck Ever! You know, at the end of the season it is really important to me to take a glance back at this time of celebrating, hoping I had a chance to see everyone. The outreach group that I am involved in plans our holiday party to be the first week of January instead of December. It takes the pressure off, everyone brings something, and the potluck element allows me to mix and mingle too. (As well as enjoy some great dishes!) Tips...
2014 is shaping up to be a great year for us here at Practically Perfect Planner. We’ve been so busy over the last few months with the Holidays, and we had an absolute blast celebrating with family and friends from all over. Christmas went off without a hitch, with the entire Meehan family over to our house for Christmas Eve…followed by a simple Santa Breakfast for Christmas morning. The 3P Basics that carried us through Christmas without causing...
From Chris: Inside the Cave – It’s been great watching NFL football this season (and my Fantasy Team is doing great!) While watching the games a re-occurring and more frequently discussed Man Cave question keeps coming up – REAL OR FAKE? While many of you are immediately thinking the attributes of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (I swear it never crossed MY mind….); this topic for my next Holiday Project after putting up the outside Christmas Lights is – The Christmas...
With Chris and the kids lighting up the house for the holidays, it motivated me to pull out the Holiday Boxes as well as pack up the Fall Boxes and officially commence “the changing of the gourds”. After collecting all of the autumn décor, Jessi packed up the event containers while I wiped up and cleaned all of my focus areas in our home. Starting off with a clean canvas helps calm me, and is also an event basic that continually keeps high traffic areas deep cleaned and orderly. Then...
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I went to my friend Jen’s to drop something off. I took a peek at my friend’s traditional dining area and the table was half set. So, I said to Jen; “Do you want me to finish this for you?” Jen replied, “No, I have to start over because I picked up some unique glass sculptures and I want those to be the focus. Big surprise, I replied, “Jen, your initial plan is beautiful + traditional with items...
You already saw how we created our “Thanksgiving on the Fly”, but with so many great magazine articles and Pinterest posts for Turkey Day, we couldn’t resist sharing a few that we loved. Every year, we head over to my brother & sister-in-law’s house for Thanksgiving, and they make an incredible spread. We show up with our clan, broccoli casserole (a family favorite we’ve been making for years) and a gift in hand. Below is our recipe! In the meantime, here are some...
