Savvy Shopper

While most of us would rather eat glass than attend a bridal/ event show, there is quite a lot to be said for being able to walk into one location and check out everything from venues and caterers to entertainment and fun custom items. That notion was the inspiration for The Event Library, the latest venture for Hannah and Lynn Rodewald (yes, the clever duo behind The Pleasure of Your Company). Walk in and get brilliant ideas and all the insider resources you’ll need to execute whatever your party-planning heart desires. Say “I want to do something different for my husband’s 50th” and, after some careful questions about your other half’s interests, Hannah can help you plan a wine tasting at your home, a Baltimore Ducks tour with brunch, a whitewater rafting trip at Wisp, you name it. The most fun? The possibilities for kids parties. Forget the Moon Bounce, The Event Library can hook you up with mini-golf and a batting cage in your backyard. Says Hannah, “This isn’t just a party resource, it’s celebrating life.” And don’t we all need to do more of that these days? Don’t miss: Soon The Event Library will be hosting book signings and offering seminars like creating memorable holiday table settings with pieces you already own.
