I turned 31 last month and had a blast celebrating! This time I decided I wanted to make my birthday celebration an “event” rather than just a party so I did just that. A friend lent us his beautiful home in West Covina, CA to host my very first “Love Kimmie Holiday Charity” event. I rented tables, chairs, heat lamps, and linens; hired Pixel Photo Booth to take care of photography for the day; and invited my crafty and talented family and friends to participate as vendors! Each vendor who participated in the event donated a percentage of their sales back to Love Kimmie to support the boutique’s charitable projects.
Throughout the day, guests had the opportunity to eat, mix and mingle, shop and donate time wrapping gifts for the children at the Los Angeles Mission. My family and friends have participated in my holiday charity projects for the past four years and with their support, we’ve delivered on average over 100 presents to the shelter each Christmas. Casey and Denny of Papernote Photo, wrote and posted a nice summary and pictures from the event.
Thanks to The Lovely Decor, My Cousin’s Closet, and Papernote Photo, my holiday event was a huge success! We met our gift-wrapping goal for 2011 and delivered over 100 presents to the shelter, involved over 50 guests, and officially launched a Love Kimmie Holiday Charity event! I couldn’t have imagined celebrating my 31st any other way!!

I’m looking forward to another eventful year, successful fundraising and an even bigger 2012 Love Kimmie Holiday Charity event! I already kicked off 2012 with an event at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater and am hoping to book more events throughout the year, especially intimate Love Kimmie Tea Parties!! If you’d like to host a Love Kimmie event, please contact me via Facebook. As always, thank you for supporting my craziness!
If you found this post inspiring, please share it with your friends!
Love,
Kimmie
How I like to celebrate my birth month: My 30th Celebration. My 30th was probably the most memorable bday celebration of all times!
