  We gave out these amazing beach pails that we tricked out Minion Style for the boys and girls and went to Toy's R Us before they closed and purchased various items that cost $1.00 each and filled the basket with coloring books, crayons, paint sets, etc. based on age and name of child. We also had European candy in the shape of a minion which was sooooo Yummy and the cherry on top was the cookie with Austin's face on it.

• Katherine Numa

  Event Designer with Kbellesdesign

  Kbellesdesign is the name of the company... She is Amazing a Creative beast that created abstract options if there was something I truly wanted to include but did not want to blow the budget. However, I walked away feeling like this was a well thought out and well composed event. She is a master of her craft.

• Claudia Gill

  My Amazing Cousin

  Claudia is amazing (@ auroraandceleste) as she's a jewelry designer. I love that she came in and created custom water bottles with Minions on it with a fun play on the nutritional fact... The hard hats were sourced by her online at Walmart at $0.99 cents a pop and she went to town and decorated them with a bow for the girls and created eyes and mouths as stickers for the pails. She's simply extraordinary

• Tiocaris Sabino

  My Comadre

  My cousin/comadre/BFF went shopping with me for all of the favors. Turned her home into a workshop where they made everything from favors, to prizes of the games, to all components going into favors and piñata. On day of she went to 4 different places to pick up Food, Treats, and Cake which helped us in a major way. Basically I can not repay her for her services. She's the best when it comes to crunch time.

  My Sisters

  My Fab sisters also were on deck ensuring that none of the details would fall through the cracks. They handled a "LOT" of everything... I am extremely grateful for our Amazing Family....
