Back to Business Community Expo 2011

Great time at the Back to Business Community Expo 2011 hosted by the Macomb Mall / Roseville and Eastpointe/Roseville Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, February 12, 2011.  Spending the day with 30+ other businesses was the highlight of the day.  Thank you to Catherine Green w/ the chamber for putting this event together.  Thank you as well to the Macomb Mall for providing the opportunity to present to the public. 

Planning for the summer.

Most people would believe that summer is an extremely busy time.  Whether it be a wedding, graduation, vacations, work around the house, etc we are all very busy.  Now is the time to secure your plans for your wedding, graduations & proms - whether it be the hall, caterer, limo or equipment rental; start now to secure what you need.   June, especially is one of the busiest months with proms, graduations and weddings so start investigating and planning now.  Don't be one of those at the last minute calling around to vendors and getting the same answer:  "Sorry, we're booked!" 

How many seats should I plan for?

There is no exact science but from our experience if you are inviting 200 people, take half of that number less 30.   A 20' x 30' White Valance Canopy with 9 tables and 72 chairs would do the trick. 8 chairs per 8' rectangle or 60" round tables.   Not everyone will sit at the same time but you still do not want people to feel crowded.  Also, most people have lawn furniture of some sort to handle overflow if it happens.  Check out our packages to see which package fits you best.  If you have questions, we would be glad to help you plan your event as well.   http://www.callintentsevents.com/ 

How many are you inviting to your next party?

Graduations season will soon be upon us.  We know how stressful planning a party can be.  There are 6 packages designed to help you make planning your party easier.  Check out our website and see how we can help you save time, money and reduce your stress level.  http://www.callintentsevents.com/ is your ticket to a successful party!  We look forward to serving you.
