Spring is about more than just flowers. As events move outdoors, the season brings an abundance of ideas for colorful, cheerful decorations, appetizers, centerpieces, and more. From whimsical tea parties and Easter-egg hunts to jaw-dropping floral design and fresh cocktail recipes, spring-theme events will always be popular. Springtime events can be so fun including communion & graduation parties as well as end of the year and Memorial Day celebrations.  Whether you’re planning a company outing, teambuilding activity, fund-raiser, or school event, there are plenty of ideas for spring events and corporate entertaining this spring.  Let’s look at some helpful tips:

  1. Start the planning process early. In fact, start earlier than you think you need to. This allows you to do your planning in a relaxed orderly fashion. It is never a problem to finish early and be able to sit back and relax. Starting early also allows you the ability to more easily address any problems that crop up during the process.
  2. Talk to a professional planner or coordinator.  If you need a lot of support and help, you should hire a real professional that has some solid experience and can provide the direction and guidance you need. AMJ Spectacular Events is a complete party rental company, designed to fit any sized party at any budget. They are family owned and operated while being supported by a professional & dependable staff. Their Event Specialists have many years of experience planning events for backyard parties, corporate events, picnics, country clubs, tradeshows, churches, colleges, and holiday parties.
  3. If you are going to hire a professional there are a lot of things to consider:
    1. First and foremost, make sure you are comfortable with them;
    2. What type of experience do they have;
    3. Can you see some photos of events they have done;
    4. How long have they been in business;
    5. Can they provide testimonials from people they have worked for and with;
    6. What are their fees;
    7. Will they handle booking all of the service providers for the day or will they simply coordinate all of the moving parts for you.Company_Picnic
  4. Consider an Outdoor Event Spring is a perfect time to consider holding an event outside. Before summer starts to heat things up, the spring is a perfect time to enjoy temperate weather and get some fresh air. Events can be held anywhere from company grounds to a nearby park or on rented space. Determine the location that’s best for you and the events that suit your party’s theme. Ask about our tents, tables and chairs too!
  5. Don’t Skip the Entertainment A good party should be about more than just getting tIMG_3162ogether and eating. Put some consideration into finding DJ service or entertainer. Other ways of livening up the mood include events like trivia/game show rental  or karaoke. Consider a range of entertainment options that can satisfy all your guests.

Soon students from both high schools and colleges across the country will walk across the stage to accept their diplomas. And as soon as they turn their robes in and get the real thing, they will be the latest group of young adults thrown into the world. The graduates of the class of 2017 were mostly born in 1999. Here’s a look at the world they came up in.

  • They are as old as The Phantom Menace. Midichlorians, Jar-Jar and pod racing have always been part ofthe Star Wars world for them.
  • 9/11 happened before they went to preschool. The United Sates has had an actable military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan for most of their lives.
  • A phone has never been just a phone to them. They’ve always had a phone with camera and internet access.
  • Their parents have always been on Facebook. They have no active memory of MySpace, Friendster or Classmates.com.
  • They’ve never know a world without online shopping.
  • Netflix is older than them and has been stream video since they were eight-years-old, and YouTube has been streaming videos since they were six.
  • They’ve probably never had to use a paper map.
  • Justin Timberlake and Beyonce have been a solo artist most of their lives.
  • To them, Dr. Dre is a headphone magnate, Ice Cube is a movie star and LL Cool J is a TV actor.
  • They are barely a year older than the PS2, and younger than the Nintendo 64.
  • Record albums are collector’s items to them, and there’s a good chance they have never bought a new CD.
  • Nirvana and Pearl Jam are as much Classic Rock to them as Led Zeplin and Boston.
  • Livin’ la Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin, “Believe” by Cher and “If You Had My Love” by a pre-JLo Jennifer Lopes were three of the big hits when they were born.
