To Celebrate or Not To Celebrate?

To do, or not to do? So you want to celebrate a milestone birthday or event, and you really don’t want it to go by without acknowledging it by celebrating with good friends and family.

This is the ambivalence that many of us face - should we or shouldn’t we? Do we want our friends, who we think don’t already know, to know that we’ve reached that important milestone? Think for a minute; if you really want to celebrate with real friends and family, guess what? They already know. They’ve followed your life along with you and they know when that special event is coming up anyway, even if they don’t mention the number.

We were recently contacted about celebrating a 60th birthday celebration and our client pondered on this same question. We visited the venue, which was to be her home, an historic townhouse in Manhattan. We presented to her our idea for her celebration and we stepped back to let her make up her mind.

After all the pondering and the hemming and hawing, she decided that she would go ahead and celebrate her special day. At the end of the day, she enjoyed an intimate, sophisticated, rose inspired event with those that she felt were special in her life.

We received the following note from her husband the following morning:

The party was a great success and my wife was very happy with the way it all turned out. Thank you very much for your help in putting everything together. Please convey our thanks to Ed and his team --The food was great and the service was just right.

All in all, a very memorable evening.

Best,
