safari party inspiration

/

I've held on to this image for awhile now- I think it is such a fun idea that could easily be translated to a kids' safari party! Idea: copy and enlarge image of giraffe and have kids pose with it (and perhaps other animals) in safari hat. I think it would be a great takeaway for the kids or perhaps the photo could be slipped in a thank you note.

I think the idea of blowing up just about anything and having guests pose with it could be hysterical. A superhero party? Have your superhero guests pose with sword/fighting instrument in hand while fighting off an invader of some kind. Or for an adult with a good sense of humor...blow up a funny photo of them and have guest 'interaction' photos with the prop. The possibilities are endless!

I stumbled upon these photos while looking for an old file and couldn't resist sharing. These are pictures of the short-lived Nashville store, Favorite (brainchild of Gen and her husband, closed at the end of 2005). They brought me on the team to help in various ways- with graphics, marketing, running the store, etcetera. Running a retail business is not for the faint of heart, however, and there were definitely a lot of lessons learned with this one. 

Gen keeps telling me Favorite might be revived in some shape or form, so I'm anxious to see what she has in store. In the meantime, I'm enjoying looking back at these fun photos and focusing on the positive memories of this amazing, beautiful venture!
