This post is all about how to host a vision board party.
I have been creating vision boards since 1996 ish. Even before The Secret came out, I was making these amazing dream collages. For me, it was such a fun creative expression. Fast forward to today, I still make these things but now with so much more intention behind it. If I have learned anything in life, it’s that you can achieve absolutely ANYTHING you set your mind to. Little secret tip for you: VISION BOARDS WORK!
You just have to know how to do them in a certain way. Don’t worry, I am going to tell you how. But first, I want you to understand WHY you need to be creating vision boards if you haven’t already. They will absolutely change your life.

Last year, I made my bestie Allison Crawford make a vision board with me and this year, that she came to me and said “OMG!!! Everything on my board happened! This is amazing. Let’s have another vision board party!!” So our vision board soiree planning began.
Last night was our first live event and let me tell you it was AMAZING. We met so many amazing and inspiring girls, learned so much advice and learned wisdom from each other. The night was so magical and powerful! I saw so many gorgeous dreams created and I can’t wait to see them come to life.
So, I am going to share a few tips, tricks and ideas for you so if you want to throw one, you can too.
VISION BOARD PARTY TIPS:
One. Get together a group of people with vision. Do not invite negative nancys or hater hannahs. You want to keep this to people who will support your dreams and encourage you to dream bigger! People who want to see each other win! This is the most important part of secret behind these boards. When you create your dreams around other people, you will be held accountable for reaching for your dreams. Having supportive friends is so essential for manifesting your dreams guys.
Listen to this podcast episode for more on cultivating friendships:
Two. Prepare yourself to be honest and vulnerable. At the beginning of the party, we each went around and shared our name, our current job, our side hustle, our astrological sign and our big dream for the year.
When you open your heart up to others, you will find that many of you share similar dreams. It connects you in a way. This helps you really tune into your actual dreams.
YOUR INTUITION knows your true dreams better than your mind does. So try not to create a dream for others but create your dreams for your heart. Here’s the deal, sometimes its hard to get to know what is your intuition and what isn’t.
So, we gave each girl a copy of my book The Blissful Living Journal, because in it, is THE steps to get you to connect to your inner wisdom.
Three. Surround yourself with pretty and inspiring things. Here’s the deal. We could have hosted this party at my house but you want to create your dreams in an inspiring place. That’s why Allison’s fabulous Austin AirB+B Hotelette was SO important to this process. It is totally an inspiring place that came straight out of Allisons vision board.
A literal manifestation of girl boss dreams. So make sure that wherever you decide to make your board lights you up and makes you feel inspired!
Four. Have a plan. Make sure you have downloaded my guide to making a vision board that works this will help you make your game plan! It takes you step by step through my secret vision board process and gives you a few rituals to help make it powerful.
Also, I am a big Feng Shui enthusiast. I use the approach on almost everything. Especially my vision board. And it works! Basically the map helps to ensure that you have balance in all areas of your life. You want to lay out your images to inspire each category. I taped up the map on the wall with pretty hot pink duct tape so the girls could see where to place what.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
There are a few essentials you will want to have on hand as you prepare for the party:
Dream boards that are easy to frame or hang. I really like using the 12 x 36 foam core boards.
Plenty of scissors. I prefer these pretty pink ones that come in a set. There is nothing worse than having to wait for others to finish cutting.
Magazines. Ask everyone to bring a few of their own and you have a stack yourself. I love to go by used bookstores ( Half Priced Books is my favorite ). You can typically get a stack of old magazines for a very affordable price.
Champagne & Sparkling water. There is something about bubbly that just gets everyone is a good mood. Garnish it with strawberries and pour it in a pretty pink plastic flute.
A motivating playlist. Grab your spotify and play music that you and your friends love!
MANIFEST YOUR VISION BOARD RITUAL:
Choose to place your vision board in a place where you see it daily.
Place the specific crystals next to the board that will help manifest what you are dreaming of the most.
Grab a candle and as you focus on the visuals of your board, light the candle to activate it.
