I used to love to party - dancing, drinking, clubs, games, any excuse to party really. That was my life in high school and college... and honestly a bit after college too. I was that girl who could bust moves and drink most guys under the table.

​

When I got my first big girl job in Washington, D.C. as an event planner, my partying was taken to another level. Bigger, bolder, and polished was the name of the game. I fell in love as I started planning weddings, corporate gala's and private home celebrations. I have continued to work in the event industry, particularly catering for the last 7 years, working on thousands of events ranging from small in-home birthday parties to huge seated galas and weddings. 

Don't get me wrong though, I still love a good old house party with beer pong on a hot summer afternoon. Those days are just few and far in between now that I am almost 30...a wife.. and a new mom. I still love to party...just in a different way....

​

Here on The Party Animal, you will find do-able and budget friendly ideas for entertaining from menus, games and themes, to decor, setup and planning all stemming from my professional experiences in the real event world. I bring that knowledge home and mix it together with my own frugal creative ideas to throw some memorable events for family and friends. 

​

I don't wait for celebrations to come to me. I create new celebrations and traditions all the time. I would throw a party everyday if I could and I am learning how to do just that. So come party with me!
