For a party Maxim threw to celebrate January cover girl Michelle Branch in 2004, the magazine's in-house design team created a unique invite: Guests received a white branded ski cap; instead of a price, the tag on the hat carried the event info and served as an admission ticket.

The Toronto Public Library Foundation hosted its annual black tie fund-raiser in April at the Toronto Reference Library. Each table at the dinner portion of the event, which raised more than $692,000 for the library’s youth empowerment programs and services, featured a Canadian author host. The list of the 43 authors and their notable books were featured on circular placemats in text printed in concentric circles. Candice & Alison designed the event.
