About
Hi, I'm Grace
Planner, list-maker, and the person who will absolutely notice if the napkins don't match. Welcome to The Little Big Things.
The Story
Why I started The Little Big Things
Some people see an event as a date on the calendar. I see it as a memory you'll carry for years.
I've always been the person who loves bringing people together — the one making lists, dreaming up themes, designing invitations, and making sure every little detail comes together just right. But what I love most isn't the decorations or the timeline. It's watching people slow down and truly enjoy the moments that matter.
I started The Little Big Things because I believe the smallest details often create the biggest memories. A beautifully written invitation. A perfectly timed surprise. The way a room feels when every piece has been thoughtfully planned. Those little touches are what guests remember long after the celebration is over.
Whether it's a bridal shower, wedding, birthday, baby shower, or another special milestone, my goal is simple: to make the planning feel less overwhelming and the celebration more meaningful. I want you to spend your event making memories with the people you love — not worrying about the schedule, the setup, or what's next.
Every celebration tells a story, and it's an honor to help bring yours to life. Because in the end, it's the little big things that make life unforgettable.

The Experience
What it's like to work with me
Planning should feel like handing your event to someone who cares about it as much as you do. Here's what that looks like in practice.
-
Your event, your voice
No cookie-cutter packages — every plan starts with what actually matters to you.
-
Clear communication
You'll always know what's been done, what's next, and what needs a decision from you.
-
Honest, always
Straightforward budgets and timelines — no upselling, no surprises.
-
Calm on the day-of
Timelines and vendors are managed so problems get solved quietly, out of sight.
