Hanging beach balls formed a colorful chandelier at a party created by Swank Productions.

The cocktail napkins for the 2002 opening of Prada’s store in SoHo in New York were useful in two ways, with an itinerary and maps showing the locations for the night’s multiple parties.

The Baptist Health Foundation got guests interacting at its 2009 benefit in Orlando by having them prepare their own dinners while following instructions from a chef onstage. 

To handle large crowds waiting for a single elevator at a 2004 Dom Perignon event, Susan Magrino Agency hired the Harlem Gospel Choir to entertain guests as they waited in line.

Years before the locavore movement became popular, Mark Fahrer Caterers set up a nature-inspired buffet that had guests foraging for food at a 2002 party for outgoing New York City Parks & Recreation Commissioner Henry Stern.

Waiters didn’t have to remember what they were serving (and guests didn’t have to ask) when now-defunct Match Catering printed T-shirts with food descriptions for a 2004 BizBash event.
