Excited For The Expo Bridal Show This Sunday, July 25th in Universal City, CA?

There is little I love more than bridal shows, & I'm already married! I guess it's because I've always been obsessed with planning the perfect wedding, even if it's not mine. I am sure many of our brides out there share my sentiment. What could be better than tons of great venues, gowns, cakes, florist, photographers & other amazing vendors under one roof to make your wedding planning, well, a piece of cake? Nothing! Okay, maybe there are some things, but I just can't wait for us to be at the Expo Bridal Show this Sunday & hope to meet all you newly engaged brides & grooms there too! Congratulations by the way!

We have several little surprises for our new bookings, but you will have to come to find out! I will just say this, it will save you a lot of money and be one less thing on your list to worry about, so you will want to be there to take advantage of this one time offer.

Expo Bridal Registration

We are getting booked up fast for next summer, so don't hesitate to call us today if you want to see our gorgeous banquet rooms & outdoor reception area with a terrace. Either I, your charming blogger & Private Events Assistant, Ana, or my rock star Private Events Director, Julie are here all week (yes, you can certainly stop by on weekends too-we know this is usually the best time for you & your fiance because you are off work, but also you can often catch another wedding setup in progress & get a better feel for what the room would look like on your day).

Call us at 818-360-1071 ext. 231 or 232 or send me a quick email ana.vick@ourclub.com to schedule your appointment. Otherwise, I will hopefully see you in person this weekend!

Happy wedding planning!

Cute & Creative Baby Shower For Katherine

The weather has been really nice, but almost too hot here in Porter Valley, CA. What better time to come inside to cool off & enjoy a luncheon with your favorite women?

One of our members, Lu, sponsored her niece Angela so she could host her daughter-in-law Katherine's baby shower at our club. Angela planned every last detail to perfection to help Katherine prepare for the arrival of her baby girl.

Of course the linen of choice was pink for the baby shower...

But you have to see these centerpieces! Each one contained items the mommy would need for her baby at different stages (this basket was for the baby when she's 6 months). So all the basics were covered before Katherine even opened the first gift from her guests. Plus it doubled as a cute centerpiece. Genius!

Here's what it looked like with the table set...Instead of spending the money on flowers, this centerpiece will give the mommy something she can actually use for the year to come.
I'm telling you ladies, this is the way to go! Great thinking Angela!

To me, no party is complete without a yummy cake (I didn't get to try this one, but I have to control myself from tasting all of them with all the parties we have here or I will start to look pregnant! :) Yikes! Good thing we have a nice gym here too!)

A gift table at the entrance is always a smart choice, so guests can drop their presents off on the way to their tables. I am sure Katherine is even more excited to welcome her new bundle of joy with all the sweet baby girl gifts she received.

Congratulations to you & your family Katherine!

We can't wait to meet your baby soon & hope she felt all the love you were showered with at your party.
