One of my favorite things about the brunch were our place settings. We placed a donut hole arrow across the setting and Jennifer’s wonderful boyfriend created the place-card holders Everyone received a questionnaire about blogging to fill out during the brunch. Once we have a little more time we are going to compile the responses to the questions and place them on the website.
This year was our first event but we are already looking at making it an annual event and invite more people. We wanted to be sure we had a good mix of lifestyle, style and small business owners from the Kansas City area so we kept it to about 30 people but are definitely trying to expand it for next year. Everyone was so incredibly wonderful and completely blew us away with their support. Thank you all so much for coming and showing your support!

the place settings are gorgeous! i would have felt so guilty for eating the donut holes and messing it all up (but it wouldn't have stopped me!). i love the color palette y'all chose too. it's neat to see how different communities of bloggers get together and grow and learn from one another. texas style council started out the first year as 30 bloggers eating quiche, and now it's a full blown conference! this year it's 30, and i bet in a couple of years you'll have 100+ showing up to hang out and engage!
great job putting all of this together!

Wow, you put that together? How amazing! I can barely organize something with three bloggers let alone 30, and businesses as well! It is great you've got a strong local community of bloggers as well, that must be so fun. Congrats on your successful brunching!

You ladies hosted a great event! What a wonderful way to kick off the weekend- good food, good people, good swag (my Mail Chimp hat is seriously incredible, and I'm in love with my Hello Cheeseburger earrings, to name a few), and good drinks (champagne!). Met a few new fab faces and got my sugar fix at the same time! π
