Ode To The Office Party







So obviously there haven't been any blogs posted in December...bad for you, good for us because it means we've been PARTYING! Well...helping others party anyway. Flashing Lights Events wants to take this time to thank all of our December clients. It's been a great ride! Our clients are awesome, and they've all enjoyed their parties. From the small house parties to the massive company parties, we've had our smoothest December ever! This blog is our special ode to the company casino party.

Ah, the annual company party. The networking hub. The Great Escape. Line-Dancing central. Expect the unexpected. We've seen VP's swing from the chandelier and assistants dance on the bar. We've seen the new guys throwing up in the punch bowls. We've seen the office lush grab the mic. We've seen the nice lady in the corner cubicle split her pants on the dance floor. The arguments over who won the bread maker in the raffle. The shove fests over who won the most money in casino chips. The colleague wearing the "give me a raise" dress. The guy in the tuxedo T-shirt. Inappropriate conversations (hey, we're not at work!). Unforgettable announcements. Yes, company party, we've seen it all this year. We've heard it all this year. We can't wait to do it all again next year because Flashing Lights knows that you won't learn from the mistakes of the previous year.

Here are a few snaps from one of our company parties, held at Table Seven restaurant.

The Suits Were Out!










Our casino parties have been epic. Our parties have been glamorous. Our parties have been so memorable that some guests can't remember what happened. And then, some of our parties are just...like this one. Back in November, there was a 50th birthday bash for one of our clients. It was a mix between a family reunion and a player's ball. IT.WAS.A.HOOT! This was one of those rare events where the roulette table was the hottest table of the night. Everyone had a great time, especially the photographers. I love the way middle aged African Americans party. It's fun, the music is great, they dance all night and the dancing is tasteful, and they actually DRESS UP for the occasion.The ladies came out, and so the did the suits! The only guest missing was Steve Harvey himself! I'm young, and I hate to be a traitor to my generation, but COME ON people! If the invitation says dressy attire, follow directions. I love how middle aged people follow directions. Enjoy the pictures. We sure did.
