Forget ordinary party chit chat – we let the walls do all the talking at the ourfaves birthday party last week! Our party-goers had a great time searching for the location of their fave local hotspots on our life-size map, indicating the location with a numbered orange sticker, and jotting down their picks for everyone to see. By the party’s end, the map was transformed into a fab ode to community greatness! Here are some faves from the evening:
