In case you didn’t notice, we love a good party. In fact, we love parties so much we’re writing a Valentine’s Day blog specifically about our love of parties.
If you haven’t attended one of our parties, there’s still time. Our Nothing Party is February 27th and it is gonna be epic.

CHICAGO
The staff took a bonding trip to Chicago back in October. Let’s just say what happens in Chicago stays in Chicago…minus Chris’ dancing and Lizzo quotes. Those we’ll share with everyone. We spent two days strategizing, eating, drinking and going to shows. We highly recommend Second City. You’ll laugh your ass off.
Pro: Bonding time
Con: AirBNB was less than stellar…Kim is never allowed to pick one again.
CHRISTMAS PARTY
We really did it up for Christmas. The staff gathered at Egypt Valley Country Club for apps, dinner, a gift exchange and all the drinks. Significant others are always invited, because someone has to drive us home (we’re kidding. Kind of). This year, we played the game, Werewolf, which we won’t even try to explain, but Lain and Chris crushed it. If you have further questions, please reach out to ro***@*******gn.com.
Pro: The presents
Con: Kim losing werewolf
WEST MICHIGAN NICE IS NOT AN INCLUSION STRATEGY
This night was a special one for us. The West Michigan Public Relations Society of America and Inclusive Performance Strategies put on this event to challenge the community to recognize their privilege. We heard from multiple speakers who shared their experiences and left the audience in tears.
Pro: Two organizations working together for the greater good of our community
Cons: There are none, obviously
BASIC PARTY
Doughnuts, champagne pong, a boozie slushie machine, an inflatable pool, Flamingo lawn ornaments, cornhole…need we say more?
Just take a look at the pics. We crushed this party theme.
Pro: Doughnuts and more doughnuts
Con: There were a lot of selfies…and Chris being a “bro”
PAINT IT
We headed down to Brush Studios in Grand Rapids as a team building activity. It was Kim’s most favorite activity. We drank, ate cheese, painted and laughed our asses off. It’s good to get out of the office and remember why you work so well together.
Pro: Creativity at its finest and the sweet signs now hanging up in our homes
Con: Kim’s lack of painting talent
SUMMER IN THE 90S
We love a good excuse to dress in 90s clothes and eat all the munchies. We mean, we had Zima, animal crackers, Hostess cupcakes, all the 90s candy and there was more stonewash then we’ve seen in decades.
Pro: Zima and jolly ranchers
Con: The stonewash
In case you haven’t noticed, we know how to crush the hell out of a theme, and yes, we are available for hire. We are the ultimate party planners. Shoot us an email and we’ll kill your next gathering.
