Death, Taxes, Marriage, Babies & Parties?

When I’d tell people about my new show “Shelby’s Secrets to a Great Party!” and website, YouCanPlanAParty.com, they’d immediately ask me how I could possibly be starting a new business venture in this down economy.  Simple really. You know the adage, “there are two things in life that are for certain, death and taxes?” Well, I have another one I learned many moons ago working in the bridal industry… marriage and babies.  So how does this relate?  Work with me here.

No matter what’s going on in our world, whether in time of peace or time of war, in financial heyday or depression, people continue to say “I do.”  As long as people continue to tie the knot, they will have babies.  Here’s the big reveal, ready? As long as these two things continue – we as human beings will have cause for celebration!  Ta da.  Think about it — birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, bridal showers, baby showers, and graduations.  I think you get the picture.  Death, taxes, marriage and babies. That’s why I can create YouCanPlanAParty.com right now.

Statistics show during a down economy, we as a people tend to look for ways to come together in our homes. But even more importantly, we as a human race have a need to celebrate, perhaps even more when times are tough.  And who better to help us through the planning stages, then the no-budget queen of party planning herself, me!
