{event showcase} Hokie Luau Graduation Party

Some parties that I produce are truly a collaboration with the client.  For example, I recently helped a long-time client produce her son's HS graduation party, a Hokie Luau! I designed the invitation and coordinated food, drinks, cake and staff while she tackled decor and a surprise visit from Virginia Tech's mascot, the Hokie bird.  Below are the results of our teamwork, some photos to inspire you, especially if you are hosting a graduation party soon.  Enjoy!
