MANIFESTING WITH FRIENDS

The power of manifesting is definitely amplified when you include your loved ones in on your goals. So what better way to end 2025 and kick off 2026 than to host a party where me and my friends vision board together.

Whenever I host anything these days, I head straight to Partiful. Its free, easy, and user friendly. The best part was I suggested dates to vote on about a month earlier and everyone was able to pick a date that worked best for them. You can also chat leading up to the event in one place, as opposed to starting yet another group chat. Best yet, my cousin, Dani, made a delicious flatbread pizza and she was able to share the recipe on the Partiful for everyone to check out.

So what did I prepare for a vision board party?

CRAFTS

I wanted to make sure I had everything we could need for a crafting occasion.

Things I supplied: scissors, tape, glue, magazines, construction paper, stickers, pens, markers, poster board, scrap papers, and a printer.

I will say I definitely recommended people bring some things they were excited about but things happen and luckily I do have a printer! Not essential but certainly helpful. I even had to go back into Pinterest a few time to fill in some more space on my board. Also, we ran out of glue quickly so I recommend having more glue than you think you need.

I ordered my poster boards from Amazon. I got 11x14 inch poster boards but some people doubled up to make their posters bigger. All depends on what you need and how big you printed your inspo. Overall, I think 11x14 is a perfect size to have out all year but also really easy for people to double up.

FOOD AND DRINKS

I really wanted to keep things simple coming off the holidays. I just asked everyone bring a snack or appetizer they would like to have as well as any drinks. I want to provide a couple snacks and drinks but keeping it mostly potluck style and lowkey. It was a Sunday afternoon post holiday chaos after all. The idea was we were going to spend a majority of our time locked in on our vision boards!

As always though, you want to try and have some refreshments and snacks if anyone is coming over. I made a fresh loaf of sourdough bread and served it with bruschetta from Trader Joe's. I also made frozen sweet potato fries and regular fries with some basic dipping sauces. For drinks I bought a pack of seltzer waters and I already had some Juneshines, wine, and coffee on hand if anyone wanted some.

ACCOMPLISHMENT CAKE

The accomplishment cake was a way to visualize, as a group, what we accomplished in 2025. This was definitely not an original thought but something a ton of people have been doing online. I bought little toothpick "candles"for us to stick into a cake and make a little video of us all sharing what we did this year that made us proud. I also added a little paper to it so we could actually write the accomplishment down. The video is over on my Tiktok and my Instagram if you wanna check it out!

All in all it was really nice to get serious about my own goals, big and small, for 2026. The power of sharing my goals and seeing everyone else's just increases our chances of achieving them.

If you want some more snippets of our crafting day and my holidays wrapping up this year, a vlog is coming to my Youtube channel very soon.
