On December 5th we held our second annual Christmas bash with friends, colleagues and MediaStyle clients at our home in Ottawa to spread some cheer and raise donations for the Ottawa Food Bank.
A few quick party tips from our home to yours this holiday:
- Outsource the cookies! Local bakeries make wonderful treats. We made the cupcakes at home and all of the buffet food – so to make things a bit easier we had the Golden Baguette on Bank Street take some of the load.
- Groovy Linens in Ottawa provided a visual punch with their signature crush fabric linens.
- A Christmas Smoked Ham made the buffet easier to prepare; the large roast only needs a few hours to heat up in the oven and feeds over 100 people (give them small buns and lots of mustards)
Doubled donations
Special thanks to Jaimie Woo who came in from Toronto and Ming Wu for his wonderful photos (featured above). Also, thank you to our guests for helping out the Food Bank with their generosity. Let’s do it again in 2010! This year MediaStyle more than doubled its donations to the Food Bank with a whopping 157 pounds of food and other household items.
Happy Holidays from Ian and Shawn
