“I have an idea,” my friend confided over coffee. “It’s been something I’ve been wanting to try for awhile.”
We were sitting in the corner of a local grocery store dining area, empty except for us and a brand-new dream — “What if there was a business that offered party kit rentals? Decor and dining ware for small events and, as a bonus, didn’t require any clean up?”
That last part was key — as m
oms, we knew what a party meant for us: hours of dishes and tidying up. She continued, “We could provide the decor, plates, silverware, etc., and then also set it up so that the host simply puts everything back in the box and returns it to us. Custom table scaping for every event.”
What a beautiful idea:
How many times had I spent a lot on party decor that I only used once? How many people want to spend a solid grand on a complete dining set for one beautiful meal? Aren’t we all sick to death of cheap plastic everything for birthday parties? Who keeps beautiful China on hand anymore? Who wants to spend their evening scrubbing plates when they could simply be sitting with their loved ones and enjoying the moment, turning it into a memory?
“I love it!” I responded. Thus, we embarked on the journey of starting our company, Classy Kits. A labor of love — gathering and putting the kits together, getting licensed, endless inventory checking, and finally ready to open our doors, just in time for Christmas. We hope you enjoy our kits and our newsletter, where we will be updating our clients on our latest kits and sharing tips and lessons we’ll learn along the way. Feel free to check out our website! And don’t forget to order your Classy Kit for prom, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, holiday meals milestone birthdays, baby showers, or whenever you need to impress without the mess!
