I'm sure many of you have mom duties with your children's school...this year mine has been co-chairing the school auction. While it's been a busy couple of months, I can say we pulled off a serious James Bond party this weekend! I was glad to check it off my list, but could not have asked to work with better co-chairs, committee members and school "family". All the time was well spent, as we raised a lot of money...and had a great time!
If you're planning a Casino Royale in the future and need any graphics, I'm happy to share! You can check out our inspiration via Pinterest and see some of our event below:
First things first, we designed a logo - FYI the Casino Royale font is Century Gothic.
Top Secret invites went out to the entire school a few months before the auction - we used large envelopes to enclose sponsorship information & requests for item donations.
My handy vinyl cutter made "homemade" decor a little easier...again, happy to share graphics if you need them!
Our auction booklets were printed via The UPS Store in Mission, KS - LOVE those guys!
Co-chairs for 2014 Highlands Auction : Casino Royale!
One of our crafty co-chairs had a real vision - over the top fab casino, on a budget! Recycled boxes, borrowed feathers & cards we can reuse, means more moola for the school!
We always sell Hawk "gear" at the auction, this is a big money maker!
The Bond Bottle Toss was a new addition this year - how can you go wrong with carnival games & bottles of vino as the prize?
Instead linen napkins, we opted for bow tie Bond paper napkins...did I mention our committee members were amazingly helpful?!
We went a crazy on all the Bond references, but it's in the details, right?!
We loved the cookies the Indian Hills Country Club chef came up with - so perfect AND delish!
One room was lined with individual photos of all of our kiddos - Nicki Griffith Photography captured all of their personalities and parents couldn't wait to purchase the portraits!
Our Dad's Club built a custom poker table & had it covered in a variety of beers, it really got the live auction hopping!
