✅ Take ANY event in your life up TEN notches with actual linen - fitted chair covers, fitted table cloths and chair sashes.

Why use plain old boring plastic tablecloths and deal with them ripping, tearing, blowing away, MELTING (🤣), sticking to your arms, etc etc etc…

Feel like it’s too expensive??!

🚫Wrong! With our “Level UP for FALL” 20% discount and budget friendly monthly payments, you can LINEN an entire birthday party for 50 guests for LESS than those extra few fancy machiatos you indulge in every month!!
Upgrade your photos, upgrade your event ambiance with that crisp clean feel, generally- just UPGRADE YOUR LIFE and boycott plastic!

Now- through October 31st, book your event or rental for the discount.

When I was referred to Ken & Melinda through a mutual best friend, and Melinda told me the wedding was August 17th, I think my initial reaction was a mini stroke 🤣

“3 weeks from now!? What have you been doing for the rest of the time you knew you were getting married!? 🤣. It was going to take a small miracle to pull off a half-decent looking wedding in that amount of time!

Lucky for all of us, I function best in high stress, high stakes, ass-to-the-fire circumstances and because of that, I can’t imagine tonight coming out any better for two completely amazing people I am thankful to add to my tribe of friends. They were so laid back and easy to work with, and if every customer were this agreeable and fun, the world would be a far better place!!

Congratulations to Ken & Melinda Hanson!! Thank you so much for trusting Realistic Expectations Events to be a part of this huge day for your family❤️🎊🎉💍

📌Taken a MUCH needed rest and break from creating for the last 6 months….BUT- I’m back in the ring with a surprise wedding, so I’ll take that as a sign I’m needed. Let’s be real, Blair County needs a come-up with their event and party trends and that also means THEY NEED ME!
**Before you continue reading all the juicy details, I am REALLY looking for someone who is planning an event in the near future (at least between 30-75 people) and is interested in any of the below listed ideas or pictures, or even has their own vision, and would want to work together at a discounted rate. My intention is someone that will let me plan and utilize my ideas from start to finish IE: invitations and/or evites, customized banner (backdrop for entrance, step/repeat if corporate event or graduation etc), customized treats, candy ‘bar’ customized program or menu, centerpiece design if applicable, etc. Details to be discussed in initial consult.
-Here’s your reminder that I’m your favorite party planner (with the best personality and funniest jokes too 🤪) and I specialize in CUSTOMIZED party favors.

Put your CHILD, teen, spouse, coworker, boss, bride, baby…dog? 🤣 on your party treats and favors! Make your loved one feel like the star they are with an entire event starring them. No more “stock” anything. A special day means that person feels it from start to 12:01am!

From 3D INVITES, to customized giant backdrop banners, I can put your loved ones face on it all!
-Capri Suns, Kool Aid Pouches, Water Bottles, Gatorade!
-Chocolate bars- any candy bars really. Find it and I can do it!
-Rice Krispie Treats
-Chip bags, pretzels etc…
-Favor boxes, mock “shoe” boxes (Nike, Adidas etc)
-Hershey Bar “purses” (see photos) come with real chain, Velcro closure and your message inside. Reese’s or Kit Kat favor “wallets” for boys…
-Bubbles, bags, plates, cups, napkins…ESSENTIALLY, the sky is the limit!!
-Custom designed backdrop banners and step-and-repeat banners. I can design giant cut-out pictures of your child, your grad, your maternity photos…

- I also RENT chair covers (white), table cloths and MUCH MORE! I have a variety of chair sashes in several colors.
I rent backdrop stands- multiple varieties, and many backdrop options including solid drapes in many colors.
If it isn’t listed in my albums or photos, JUST ASK! I may have what you’re looking for or can make it.

-I offer day-before and day-of event coordination services, and I mean literally, I will police (only time in the universe I will function as a cop!) your entire event down to the tiniest detail to make sure it runs smoothly.

If you are looking for something different, and a party with a city feel VS a “this is what every family in Blair County does for a 6 year old, soooo, I guess Dollar Tree streamers and transparent table cloth it is then…🤣🤣🤣” —— YOU HAVE FOUND THE GIRL!!

What’s the difference between BODY BUTTER & BODY LOTION?

- Body lotion is created by combining water & oil with an emulsifier. Generally more lightweight and absorb more quickly.

- Body butter is a mixture of raw butters and oils whipped into shape. Body butter boosts the skins moisture levels and is especially beneficial for those of us with dry, cracked, itchy skin. Winter skin. Psoriasis. Eczema. Scarring.
Apply body butter directly after a shower and/or right before bed to heal skin while you’re in sleep recovery mode!

Yeah. I’m back. 🎯

I’ve taken a little sabbatical the past year, my friends, and in some ways—— I LOST MY MOJO.

I lost the creativity that makes me, Mandi, and the creativity that drove my business.

The good news is 🎉🙏🏻 I’M NOT DEAD.

I’m making a comeback right now and you have a front row seat.

Stick around…
