2016 Mummies’ Night Out | Recap

Tickets sold out in a mere three minutes.

Swag bags were so heavy, they gave us a workout. The food and drink situation was impressive. On Thursday, October 27th, more than 250 moms had a night to themselves to get relax, shop, and get crafty. From start to finish, Mummies Night Out was a roaring good time! The only scary thing about this Halloween-chic event was knowing we have to wait a whole year to do it again!

We were all smiles working with Smith Orthodontics‘ knowledgeable team (or should we say, tooth fairies?!). Their “Witch’s Brew” was a delightful mocktail and paired nicely with the gorgeous chocolates they handed out. Moms were gifted with totes from Smith Orthodontics to fill to the brim throughout the night.

It’s the Wichita Boathouse and it’s one of our favorite buildings in Wichita. The venue is stunning, the view is gorgeous, and they went above and beyond to help us show everyone a great night out!
