The Dr. Seuss book Oh the Places You’ll Go has become a popular theme for graduation gifts and parties, but we loved how this family put it to good use for a post-Baptism party.

Thanks to LunahZon Photography for inspiring all of us with the photos!

Londoloza Dog Den & Cattery may be named after a game reserve in South Africa’s Sabi Sands, but this 16,000 sq ft space caters to a much tamer clientele. Dogs and cats are the focus of this new business located in Culver City, CA. The facility itself is also African safari themed and truly unique. When planning their grand opening they decided they needed a band to help bring an authentic African flair to the party. We checked in with owner Patricia Were to learn more about this wild event.
