 Party planning mom-praneur Laurie Gattis is teaching moms around Charlotte a brand new term - Gobsmacked. I was looking for a word that would mean flabbergasted, astounded and shocked, and that's the official definition of the word. And gobsmacked is just what area kids feel when they walk into one of Laurie's parties. Her eye for detail and her flair fun make her the perfect children's party planner. The best part, she handles the details for you so that you can relax and really enjoy the party. From the initial plan and selecting venues, to organizing character visits and putting up decorations, Laurie handles all of the things that give a birthday party its wow, without overwhelming busy parents.
And if your child wants a pony-princess-fairy party it's no problem. Each of Laurie's parties are unique, customized for your child's desires, your budget and your guest list. On a budget? That's no problem either. Laurie provides by the hour consultations to help you develop a party plan that you can implement yourself. But if you want to pick a date, show up and have the whole event unfold perfectly, that's not a problem either. She'll plan the entire event right down to handling RSVPs and writing the thank you notes, if you like.
We're hooked, says Charlotte Baby and Child Editor Corey Williams. I have planned the vast majority of parties that appear in our pages and managing my own two kids parties and 6-8 parties a year for our publication is overwhelming. Laurie is the first children's party planner I've trusted to take over one of our feature parties. Her ideas are phenomenal. Plus, she's resourceful, creative and very responsive. I'm just thrilled with her concepts. But you can be the judge yourself. You'll see the results of her work on Matthew's Art-tastic Birthday in our Spring 2008 issue. Can't wait that long? Give Laurie a ring and start planning your child's Gobsmacked party right away.
