East Coast V West Coast Tablescape Challenge News Flash:)

The Children's Party Network's First Team Challenge is in full swing and it is getting so close to SHOWTIME!
Fo those of you that are tardy to the party, here is a quick recap: The Children's Party Network was launched about 6 weeks ago. We {Natalie & I} decided an East Coast V West Coast Tablescape Challenge would be a fun and novel way to break the party girl ice and work together in the name of creative party styling. Team West is headed by Natalie, {Little Shindigs Events and President of the CPN} and Team East is chaired by little ol' me {Vice Pug of the CPN}. Each team has about 25 members which consist of party planners, graphic designers, partyware designers, bloggers, bakers and party loving Mamas. The teams were both given a theme for the challenge-Black and White Children's New Year's Eve Party was chosen..SO...Team East and Team West have been secretly plotting, planning, scheming and designing killer tablescapes. Once completed, tablescapes will be photographed and showcased to the world to see who will be crowned tablescape champion. {note: Team East is taking this. Totally}

Natalie and I then decided it would be amazing to be able to have someone deserving benefit from everyone's hard work. We will be auctioning off the completed tablescapes and all net proceeds will be donated to Project Night Night. Project Night Night is a charitable organization that gives a tote, blanket, book and teddy bear to kids in homeless shelters. We could not think of a more fitting cause:) That's the beauty of the challenge in a glittery nutshell..

Now, even more seriously exciting news!

Some fabulous sponsors have come onboard to donate goods to our Tablescape Throw Down...We are so grateful and touched beyond words. Thank you a million times over for being so supportive and generous of our little adventure.

The idea: One party theme, two amazing teams in two different time zones will each create a vision of fabulousity. These unique tablescapes will showcase brilliant design ideas, amazing partyware and creative collaboration of our party loving peers.

The Dirty Deets:

The theme: Children’s Party Network members will be able to suggest any idea for the overall theme! That means YOU! The tablescape will be for a children’s New Year’s Dessert Table, theme to be suggested by one of you! Once all the themes are out there, three of our CPN Contributors, Chris, Kim & Debbie will make the final decision of the theme.


We will be tapping into the CPN talent to make this all come to life.

Tablescape 1, West Coast - Styled by Natalie and a creative crew of YOU-party professionals, designers, creative types, famous people & party mamas who can contribute partyware and ideas for the cause.
Team West Coast will consist of party chicks closer to the beautiful Blue Pacific Ocean side of our United States.

Tablescape 2, East Coast – Styled by Kristy and a creative crew of YOU-party professionals, designers, creative types, famous people & party mamas who can contribute partyware and ideas for the cause. Team East Coast will consist of party chicks up and down the East Coast and and the dirty brown beautiful Atlantic Ocean side of our United States.


Both teams will create an original tablescape based on the theme. We are very excited to see the finished designs come together. Completed tablescapes will be photographed and showcased.


This is a golden opportunity to work together, brainstorm and have FUN doing something that we all love. Be supportive of each other, have a few laughs and be a part of something extraordinary. This is our unique & original idea to unite the industry in a novel experiment.
