#LITTLE MISS PARTY PLANNER HOW TO#
That’ll be one of the things I speak to, as well as just sort of how to set up outdoors and feel safe being around people right now. If you’re going to have people over and you’re going to serve food, now’s the time to use chic disposable tableware. That is going to be something I really speak to at The Moment – because right now, you don’t really want people licking your forks, and then you grabbing it, and putting it in the sink. So if I can’t be there physically, I can at least style the party for you with disposable tableware and pretty decor and all the cute items you would need that just gets shipped directly to you. I have a shop online where we curate party boxes, and we ship them nationwide. I can’t just fly to LA to do your baby shower.Īfter all those calls were coming through, I came up with the idea of Little Miss Party in a Box.
We’re a true Manhattan-based and Hamptons-based business. My business is very customized, we create, we do all the flowers, we create all the decor, we schlep all the platters. Once it started happening, we were getting outreach from people from every state – California, Washington, Philly, all over. Something that was very interesting was because we started getting all this press, people were finding us all over the country.
After I started the business, we had received a lot of press organically. I’m going to be speaking about how to entertain and host friends while maintaining social distance. SK: This is going to be a unique discussion, obviously, given the current state. What will attendees learn during The Moment: Little Miss Party Planner? Little Miss Party offers several Party in a Box themes. I thought that was unique and after having my first son in 2009, I said, I think now’s the time to leave the corporate world and do my own thing. I loved the planning process, which I know so many people who get married hate the planning process. I just was always throwing these parties, helping friends with parties, and then in 2007 I got married. That was the initial tagline and sort of inspiration for my business. I realized that I was really good at throwing these big events in small spaces. We’d have people there ’til three in the morning. He would say, “You’re inviting too many people, you’re doing too much – or our apartment is too small. Once we moved in together, we were living in a one-bedroom apartment. I moved to New York in 2001 and I happened to meet my husband a few weeks after moving here.
SK: I’ve always been a party girl at heart, and also by trade. We recently chatted with Kertzner about The Moment: Little Miss Party Planner, safety hosting an imitate gathering, celebrating from afar, and more.Īfter years in corporate at Club Monaco and J.Crew, you switched gears to party planning.
