Once Upon A Party Series | 31 Bits Holiday Party

This past school year, I served as a campus representative for a socially-responsible jewelry company called 31 Bits. I was first introduced to them while I was a sales intern for another socially minded fashion and accessories company, Della. Many of these social entrepreneurs start up in Southern California and so I was exposed to many, and 31 Bits was among them.

I had heard that they had a really cool campus program and so I signed up. Of course, in Utah, people are super frugal to the point where it was almost impossible to make great sales with this jewelry. However, I still had success in spreading the word and story of the company and had a lot of fun in the process. To learn more about 31 Bits and their inspiring start, visit: http://31bits.com/about

Anyway, one of the requirements of the term was to throw a party. Since I love throwing parties, I had no problem with this. I decided to have a holiday themed party, because I figured I would make more sales with the holidays and also, who doesn't love Christmas decorations? It was a success and so fun to throw!

Fun door decorations up throughout the month of December

The great thing about having a cupcake business is that I never have to order cupcakes for parties

I laid merchandise out on the dessert table, as well

Christmas tree bulbs were tapes to the tablecloth, then I used them as a perch for the names of the bracelets
