Can we really plan an event in 1 day?!?

Ever notice how the best events look effortless.. Everything just seems to unfold perfectly and at the right moment....

It all started when Erica (one half of 2Republic) decided to host a surprise bridal shower at her place...

Since she had less than 24hrs to plan everything, 2 of her biggest challenges were how to transform her apartment for the occasion and what was going to be on the menu! Guests were expected to arrive at 7:00pm. 


This is how it all unfolded...

• First stop, Winners for decorations. Decorations create an ambiance and make it more fun!
• Afterwards, picking up the cake and some finger foods. Finger foods are easy, since you don't have to cook and there are a variety to choose from! In Montréal, Marché Adonis is one of the best place for finger foods, pastries etc.
• A night of celebration without a bottle of wine is unacceptable, so a stop at SAQ was necessary, the place of choice for some great wine!
• Erica had 2 friends of the soon-to-be bride come help her with the decorations and set up her apartment
• Marie (the other half of 2Republic) was the Dj for the night
• Board games and prizes were part of night making it entertaining!

The cake, the pastries and the finger foods all of which look very appetizing! 

The decorations, simple but yet necessary to create the perfect ambiance!

The happy soon-to-be-bride! 

Can you really plan an event in 1 day? Yes you can! If you are creative enough and you get some help from friends and family, you can come up with the best ideas and have one of the most entertaining events!
