Part of the fun of planning Bar Mitzvahs is that we view them as a blank slate where we can collaborate with hosts and help bring their vision to life. From island getaways to trips to the ballpark, there is a certain unique energy to every Mitzvah celebration. Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah at the Fillmore, Silver Spring is another one of these events we won’t soon forget, and we’re so excited to share our recap with you!

Amid all the celebrations of the Holiday Season, we can’t help but look forward to what 2022 will bring. As always, there are a lot of new exciting trends expected to surface in the event planning industry as the year goes on. In this blog, we compile a list of our favorite fresh event ideas and trends for the new year!

Throughout the year 2021, we’ve been celebrating our 25th year in business as a party planning company. Last month, we published a blog post summarizing our journey from a collaboration in our basement to what eventually became Innovative Party Planners! Now that December is here, we’ve officially begun our 26th year in operation! We’ve come a long way, and we’re ready to take on the next 25 years with the same level of creativity and dedication that we’ve embodied from day one. After taking you through our journey in our previous post, we’d like to share a little more about where we’ve ended up and what we learned along the way as we gear up for another great year.

Throughout the month of November, we’ve been celebrating our 25th year in business as a party planning company by sharing posts on our social media channels! Our 26th year begins in December, and we can’t wait to take on our next chapter of creating one of a kind event experiences and giving back to the community. Before that, we’d love to share a little bit about how we got our start and the lessons we have learned along the way in our first 25 years!

On July 22, we were honored to produce this year’s virtual “Distinguished Women Awards” for Girl Scouts of Central Maryland. We first met last year when we were selected to create the first successful virtual edition of this yearly event. This was back when virtual events just started their rise in popularity because of the shutdown. After one full year of hosting virtual events, we learned a lot and brought plenty of fresh ideas to the table for this year’s ceremony.

The start of the decade has introduced a lot of new challenges for everyone, including event planners across the nation. We’re very thankful to be part of several social media communities where event planners share advice and experiences pertaining to their own challenges in 2021.
