Modern Holiday Party

This year, Modern tried something new for our holiday party. Instead of the department party and a simple potluck lunch in the office, our special event department lobbied for a fancier party. It didn't make sense that a company that throws parties for many other companies wasn't throwing their own shebang! It all changed this year.

Below is one of the centerpieces that adorned our fancy tables. The theme was Nightmare Before Christmas, and all the decor resembled Halloween and Christmas together. And, all of it was stuff we already owned! The linens were provided by one of our suppliers, the AV was provided by our friends at Webb Audio Visual, and the food was potluck. We held the party at our warehouse in the carpet aisle, but you'd never know with all the decor. Can you believe how well we can transform a place?

When our warehouse was built, it was thought that the north side of the building could be leased out (forming the name "Lease Side"), but was quickly filled with props, stage sets, and many more fun things for our Special Events department. However, because of the original purpose, there was no door built between the Lease Side and our Expo Warehouse that stores all our chairs, tables, carpet, etc. At our Christmas party, we broke down the barrier between our Expo and Special Events departments... literally, with the target below.

I had my way with the wall too! The target you see above is now a 9'x9' opening!

The "POD" according to Anne Marie. We go everywhere together! I love these girls!
