MPI…no…it doesn’t stand for More Pennies Incorporated nor does it stand for Monkeys Playing Inside!  MPI stands for Meeting Professionals International!  On Tuesday, August 17th, 2010, Main Event Productions showcased their newest member of the family, FANTASTIC FLIPBOOKS at the MPI: TN Annual Vendor Trade Show!

This event was an opportunity to showcase Fantastic Flipbooks and make connections with fellow vendors and businesses in the midst of a casino night theme!

Main Event Productions and Fantastic Flipbooks is so thankful for our new friends and can’t wait to bring the party to your next party!

Tennessee Voices for Children is a non profit children advocacy agency who speaks out as an active voice for the emotional and behavioral well-being of children and  their families.    On August 12, 2010 they honored those within the community who do just that!!!  Among those honorees was Main Event Productions and A Catered Affair’s very own Kellie Bryson.  She was awarded the Lifetime of Giving award.  This award is for the company outside of the child serving system that has always supported TVC through generous gifts, donations, and services.

Congratulations to Kellie and the other honorees!  Thank you for your hard work, generosity, and life-changing impact you have on the Nashville community.

Main Event Productions and The Bake Shoppe are redefining the meaning of “Birthday Cakes!”  Though there is a pleasant simplicity about a standard birthday sheet cake, we are coming into contact with more and more customers who are thinking  birthday cakes out of the box! Every pun intended!  3D cakes are the way to go!  Check out a few pictures from our latest sweet 16 Birthday cake!

Perhaps some of you reading this might think we are slightly crazy for thinking that the Christmas season has already approached!  Though I will not deny nor confirm that we aren’t all a little crazy, it is never too early to at least be brainstorming some ideas on how to make this year’s Christmas party or event stand out above all the rest!

The holiday season is my favorite time of year!  When it comes to family and friend gatherings and parties there is always the process of incorporating old traditions with contemporary twists, revisiting sweet memories and creating new ones!

Main Event Productions and all of it’s family members–Events @1418, A Catered Affair, The Bake Shoppe, and Fantastic Flipbooks–excel in creating just that balance!  So, this year, instead of waiting till the last minute, plan now and have a stress-free, glamorous, magical, tasty, memorable, one-of-a-kind holiday experience for you,your family, friends, co-workers, and/or company!

Have you ever been at the stop light on Church Street and 15th and looked over and saw this building….

Did you then ask yourself what goes on in that building?!!?  Here’s just a glimpse….

“…Events @1418 is a remarkable space.  Versatile for an intimate gathering of friends or a wedding banquet, with a great staff and a near-palpable sense of class from the beautiful hardwood floors all the way to the rooftop deck, this is where the refined style of classic event spaces snuggles up to the vibrance and funky energy coming off Church Street’s dance district.”-The Nashville Scene.

So, next time you’re looking for a space for your corporate meeting, holiday party, wedding reception, rehearsal dinner (the list is endless) that will give your guests the feeling of being a part of Nashville history with chic architectural updates, then Events @1418 is your place!

Inviting Fantastic Flipbooks to your event or venue is a great way to add something extra special to your party.  You supply the guests, and we’ll create the personalized pocket-sized party favors that feature them!  Not only will they take home a unique custom keepsake or promotional gift, they’ll also be entertained in the process!

Here’s how it works!  We start by taking sixty super-fast pictures of people being FABULOUS in our booth.  They can dress up, perform a skit using our props, be silly or sweet or just flat our crazy.  Then in less than two minutes, we print and assemble a cool take-home video (no batteries required) in a paper flipbook.  You can even add a message or graphics on a custom cover.

Everyone has a blast with the silliness, and those watching can’t wait to outdo everyone else.  When the party is over, they get to take home a fun gift in their pocket.  It’s guaranteed fun for all ages!
