Dama's Surprise Baby Shower 07th Feb 2010

We held a babyshower on Sunday, 07 Feb 2010. The Theme was Teddy's having a picnic in a park. Eventhough the weather had some other ideas. But i could take some pictures of how the set up look before it literally rained on our parade.

We had a guestbook which was a baby jumper which each guest signed for the mom to be to take home

Our service...

We have different types of planning and coordinator packages.

Month of Co-ordinating. This package is designed for the client that prefer to plan most of the event yet require a little more assistance and would like to enjoy the last month before the event by having a events coordinator take the burden of tying up any loose ends and last minute arrangements. 

Highlights of this package include a pre-planning meeting to discuss the details 4-6 weeks prior to the event date, contacting of vendors, creation of your event day timeline, coordination of of the day and much more.

Month of plus planning and coordinating. This package is designed for the client who began planning for their event on their own and quickly realized they need help with creative ideas and the professional support of a event planner. It does not matter where they are in the planning process, we will step in and pick up where they left off. We will give them that peace of mind they are looking for, so they can enjoy the rest of the planning process.

Full service planning. This service is for the client that want guidance from the beginning of the planning process through the event day. This is perfect for the client who do not have time to do the everyday chores... let alone plan an event!

Hosting of events. To take an active participation in South Africa’s diverse cultural background. We want to celebrate by hosting various events to celebrate our diversity. By hosting these events such as gala events, empowerment workshop,etc we can promote South African cultures as well as acertain a alternative financial stream of income by charging a minimal fee.

High school workshops. Gathering and presenting information to senior students to provide them with direction in life. Guiding them through the difficult choices if they cannot afford tertiary education. Equiping them with the different options that can guide them through life. Enabling them to see alternative work options versus unemployment after high school.

What's in a name????

Ich Liebe means "I Love" in the German language. (Pronunciation "ikh leeb-uh"). the company name is a marketing tool because of the play on words. e.g Ich Liebe Events (I love Events)or Ich Liebe Weddings (I love Weddings).
