SUPER MOMS THROW SUPER SWEET SIXTEENS

Your teenage daughter is soon to be sixteen!

She's smart, witty, charming, beautiful and like the majority of girls her age; embarking on womanhood. It seems like just yesterday you were swaddling her in freshly washed cotton blankets and the softest onesie you could find. Now, you're still doing her laundry only this time you have no say in what she wears. #momsofteenagers

As her sweet sixteen milestone birthday approaches there's a few things you'll need to consider before planning the most epic party and securing your spot as a super cool mom.

Did you know that the 'sweet 16' celebration concept originated in the Victorian area where a debutante party represented ushering a coming of age woman into society with the sole purpose of attracting a suitable husband.

Luckily this is 2019 and while I'm sad to say the rights of women are still far from where they should need to be, a sweet sixteen party no longer has such an archaic connotation.

Instead, it's a female fete that honours empowerment, self transformation, mindfulness and maturity.

Venue

The venue should be easily accessible and able to accommodate your guest list, entertainment and any other special surprises you have planned. This is relatively unknown but some venues can have outrageous power usage bills depending on what type of plug-in displays and decor you have.

SWEET 16 CELEBRATION 

Our functional LED furniture and decor is delivered fully charged, remote operated and has a battery life of 12 hours. The soft, multicolour illumination provides a great atmosphere and saves on electrical costs! 

Our stock is also ideal for venues with little to no infrastructure like an open concept banquet hall, private room or backyard. You find the space and we'll fill it for your party wishes.

Theme

LED SEATING & CRUISER TABLES 

Your girl is one in a million so her sweet 16 party should be tailored just that way and we all know that the bones of a great celebration are in the details. Customization and branding of our LED furniture and decor with images and text is easy and recommended to make the most of your rental and memory books.

CUSTOM CENTERPIECES 

Our LED orbs and cubes have also been used as table decor centrepieces for larger scale affairs. A little creativity goes a long way in designing these pieces that can ultimately transform the venue into your desired theme. 

LED CURVED BENCHES

Decor

Good lighting is a non negotiable element for a sweet sixteen Instagram moment which is why all of our products glow.

We have an open faced candy cube display that can be customized to size, a 40 ft. LED party bar that has been used for minor friendly events (think smoothie bar), glowing buffet tables, couches, cocktail tables and our newest addition, an LED dance floor.

Don't forget about a great entrance! We have a stunning entrance tunnel that can be customized and red carpet decor.

That 'Break The Internet' Element

Photo booths have soared in popularity but will soon be older than you feel having a sixteen year old. Try something new and absolutely shock your daughter with your creativity. We recommend a modernized 360° step and repeat photo installation using our solid and open faced cubes for imagery and text. Check out a crazy one we did for a past client here.

CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP ELEVATING OUR GLOW GAME FOR 2018.

Happy New Year all!

We’re hoping everyone had a safe and joyous time ringing in 2018! We’ve got high hopes for this year as I’m sure all of you do. We’re not really a fan of New Years resolutions over here as we like to work on bettering ourselves all year round. However, we have set a goal for this year and that is to continue to elevate our glow game with every glow party and event rental we have!

Our creative design team has been brainstorming non-stop on new and inventive ways to turn our glow furniture and décor stock into the most sought after illuminated décor to help you throw the best events possible.

Last week we were fortunate enough to provide a stellar glow seating area for the Town of Newmarket for their New Years event, Tim Hortons First Night Newmarket. Due to the cold Canadian weather their celebrations were moved inside but a wonderful time was had by all.

Just a friendly reminder that our stock is great for any and all parties, big or small. Lately we’ve had a lot of rentals for house parties. Our furniture and décor is great for indoor and outdoor spaces, is weatherproof, Bluetooth speaker equipped and has a 12 hour battery life. Your glow furniture rental pieces will have your guests partying well into the night.

Stay tuned for new LED creative designs and glow décor on our feeds and please let us know what you’d like to see. Sound off in our comment section and let us know what kind of glow you want to see this year!
Custom vinyl designs, both text and images are going to be huge this year! It's all about personalization so talk to us today and ask us how we can help you create your one of a kind glow event!


Stay warm, Toronto!
