3 Ideas for Kids Birthday Parties

For your children, birthdays are very important events. They want to feel loved and in the center of attention, impress their friends and have the coolest party of the year. Obviously, next year they’ll want something completely different. You have to keep up with their age, interests, and personality. Moreover, you have to be able to organize the parties and, even more important, pay for them. If you’re running out of ideas, check out the following ideas gathered from our clients. They’ll boost your imagination without exceeding the budget.

Take a family trip

If your children are still small, all they want for their birthday is their parents. Take some time off and enjoy a family trip. It doesn’t have to be something exotic; at this age, the children won’t appreciate the landscape anyway. But it has to be meaningful, full of love and attention. Choose a friendly destination, with good weather and plenty of outdoor activities. Connect with your children at a deeper level and make time for stories, adventures, and playing. For a complete experience, don’t leave any member of the family at home!

Plan a thematic party

All kids love stories whether it’s Snow White or Harry Potter. This gives you a lot of ideas to play with. You can organize thematic parties each year if you choose carefully the theme. And they don’t have to be expensive as you can host them in your house or backyard and make the props by yourself or rent them. For an extra note of happiness, mix two stories in a single theme or create your own story.

Invite their friends to a surprise party

Older children need to have their friends at the party. If your kid has very good friends, talk with their parents and plan a getaway together. You can choose the nearby forest or beach, a hiking weekend, or a more exotic destination. Keep it secret until the big day and surprise your kid with the adventure of a lifetime. You’ll have a relaxing family trip and your kids will have their friends for a fun birthday party. It’s a win-win situation.

A birthday party should be fun to organize. You want your kid to be happy, what better reason for being creative and enjoying the preparations? Have fun in the process and relax. The budget isn’t the most important thing. All your kid needs are your love and attention. So don’t plan a Barbie birthday party when your kid’s only interests are planes. Pay attention to their development stage and personality.

Three Tips for Taking Photos at a Bachelor or Bachelorette Party

Your bachelor or bachelorette party is a great opportunity for a getaway with your friends. Enroll in new adventures, explore unique destinations, and take time to catch up and connect. It’s time to have some fun and party. Starting a family is a beautiful thing and your friends will be there to support you. But, for now, it’s time to remember the good times and create amazing memories together.

But how can you be sure you’ll have beautiful photos to remind you of these days? A bachelor or bachelorette party is usually a crazy time when everybody’s having fun. Pictures, if any, are blurry, awkwardly cut, or awfully bad. Here are three tips to help you take good pictures while having the best time with your friends.

Use the landscape of your destination as background

A bachelor or bachelorette party isn’t just about drinking and partying all night long. Use this time to explore your destination, relax on a beach, or climb a mountain. Embrace the landscape and connect with nature. After all, the time before the wedding can be a vacation that gives you energy and a beautiful tan. During this exploration time, take casual snapshots using the landscape as background. These pictures will remind you of the things you like to do together, your adventures, and the beautiful places you visited.

Take group photos wearing matching outfits

If you want to make sure you’ll have exquisite and glamorous pictures from this vacation, arrange a professional photo session. Choose a beautiful location and wear matching outfits that enhance the beauty of the scenery. For extra glamour, you can choose to take pictures at sunrise or sunset. The soft sunlight is perfect for portraits because it flatters the skin and makes the hair glow.

Use props and get ready for the party

Because a bachelor or bachelorette party is a unique moment you need to have pictures from the party itself. Use funny props to emphasize the roles and include clues about location and occasion. All these little elements add flavor to your story and will be great topics over the years.

As Seneca once said, “Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.” You’ve chosen your friends with a purpose. They understand and support you, tell you the truth whether you like it or not. Your friends will help you with your new family even if you’ll have less time for them. Benefit from this escapade and enjoy the quality time together. The rest is history as you’ll see it in the pictures.

How to Plan the Perfect Corporate Event

Whether you organize a conference, team building, or an annual shareholders meeting, a corporate event has to be elegant, fluid, and perfectly planned. From decorations to food and entertainment, everything has to be designed in style and appropriate for the event. Don’t worry; there’re a lot of people ready to help you, but you have to know what to ask them to do.

The three big steps of planning a corporate event are location, theme, and after-event actions. To help you understand what these steps mean, we exemplify with pictures from the gorgeous Studio Eminence locations.

Choose a stylish location

Whether it’s a business or a leisure event, a corporate event needs style and attention to detail. Choose a location that provides the space and facilities you need. You may need a conference hall, a fancy restaurant for the dinner party, recreation facilities for a successful team building, and accommodation for a lot of people. Make sure you choose a location with good reviews and a long history in organizing corporate events. It also helps to have beautiful views and offering surroundings, easy access, and neutral and elegant décor. Keep in mind that it has to suit many different people and in this case, a minimalist approach is the best.

Plan a thematic party

A thematic party is easier to plan and manage. Give people something to do and involve them in the event. The theme can vary from a specific dress code color to a concept (eco-friendly, recycling, vintage, high-tech, etc.) and detailed stories (carnival, movie characters, Mexican flavors, etc.).

Provide matching décor and entertainment (live music, professional dancers, and fireworks), props and costumes, and a thematic menu. The theme has to match the event’s scope (don’t plan a carnival for a business conference) and the entire atmosphere has to be respectful and pleasant for everybody.

Book a professional photographer to capture the atmosphere

After-event actions include offering small gifts to all participants and creating photo albums for social media or internal reference. You’ll need high-quality pictures featuring table arrangements, activities, people, and the overall workflow of the event. Book a professional photographer to help you with this part.

A photographer will make sure every participant appears in at least a portrait and a group picture, take care of photographing the location before the event, and document the event step by step. Based on your requirements, a photographer can deliver professional business portraits and fun party pictures.

Corporate events shouldn’t be dull and without glamour. Based on their specific, they can include time for relaxation and enjoying the location, entertainment involving local music and traditions, and thematic meals. Studio Eminence’s locations are perfect hosts for these events and welcome you with wonderful facilities, experts to take care of all details, and amazing landscapes to delight your guests.

Tips for Party Pictures to Last a Lifetime

Studio Eminence is always happy to be part of your memories. Whether you plan an anniversary, a birthday party, or the craziest thematic party ever, we capture all the details in great images that will last a lifetime. Each party has its story. It may be romantic, fun, elegant, touching, eccentric, or all of them. Either way, it’s timeless and so should be your pictures. Here’re the best tips for outstanding party photo albums.

Take pictures before the party

Follow the entire narrative of the party starting with preparations, table arrangements, and décor and ending with the cake. These details are important because they add to the party’s charm and give you feedback for future events. Besides, you’ve invested so much energy and love in every one of them that they deserve a place in your photo album.

Individual portraits and environmental shots

You have a party for a specific occasion and party pictures should capture the entire atmosphere. Each participant will want to be found in the album. An experienced photographer will capture candid shots and individual portraits as well as group photos and the general mood. You may have props, a photo boot, or dedicated places for group photos. There are many elements you can play with to create a special and unique party.

Capture the sparkle

Each party has its highlights. Fireworks, singing moments, cake arrival, or invited artists are just some of them. The party photo album needs to include all these moments and they can be a handful for an amateur photographer. To make sure you’ll have sharp clear photos in low light conditions, book a professional photographer. Discuss with the photographer before the event and mention all the special moments of the night.

Take pictures after the party

Maybe the juiciest moments of an event are in the after-party pictures. New friendships, old friendships, sunrise hopes and promises, and the memory of a great moment spent together create a nostalgic and touching mood. These morning pictures will warm your heart and strengthen your bonds. It’s the perfect time to gather the entire party for a group picture.

Party pictures are fun and emotional. You’ll never get a second chance to celebrate the first or the 50th anniversary of your marriage, your 18th birthday, or the first summer holiday spent with your friends. Each moment is unique but we can always recall it by looking at old pictures.
