Originally, Backyard Bash Co. was going to be simple.
Fun backyard games.
Party rentals.
Easy.
To understand our Elegant Events Collection, you need to understand Maria's creative brain. She sees ordinary things and somehow turns them into something people stop and stare at.
While helping one of her cousins plan a beautiful bridal shower and now preparing for her youngest daughter's upcoming wedding in the mountains of Maine, she became inspired by the idea that event games could actually be...beautiful.
Not plastic.
Not tacky.
Not something shoved awkwardly into the corner of a wedding reception.
But intentional pieces that actually add to the atmosphere. So we started creating handcrafted lawn games and tabletop games designed specifically for elegant events.
Rustic woods.
Neutral tones.
Beautiful finishes.
Classic designs.
Games that feel like part of the decor. And honestly? We fell in love with the process. There's something really special about blending fun with beauty. Because weddings aren't just formal events anymore. People want experiences. They want guests laughing, interacting, taking photos, making memories.
And apparently, nothing brings out people's competitive side quite like oversized handcrafted games at cocktail hour.
We are really proud of the collection of games we have started, the collection reflects both of us:
The fun loving, active, social, energy behind Backyard Bash Co.
And the creativity, warmth, and elegance Maria naturally brings into every space she touches.
We're still brand new. Still learning. Still figuring it out day by day. But this part of the business feels incredibly special already and we can't wait to see where it takes us.
Until next time,
Julie & Maria
