Kay + co: charleston’s sustainable bachelorette + girls’ weekend decor

Did you know that Kay + Co is like, really into supporting small businesses + making celebrations a little more sustainable? Check out these fun facts about Kay + Co and how we can take your weekend over the top while also paying it forward to other local businesses + the earth!

 

we shop small

We order from women-owned businesses locally + online for our backdrops, signs, straws, + other party accessories! Ordering from a small business means receiving a higher level of unique + quality decor (no hate on Amazon, but we’re trying to be a little different!). We’re so proud to be providing high-quality decor that you can feel good about. Long story short: supporting Kay + Co means you’re also supporting other small businesses!

A few favorites that we encourage you to shop with:

 

we support local

For any of our packages that includes treats + charcuterie, they’re locally-sourced (and absolutely delicious). Cupcakes that are made fresh, cookies that are hand-decorated, and charcuterie that’s lovingly put together by a small business owner — these are the little touches that will take your celebration to the next level. Our team spends the hours before each set-up bopping from shop to shop to make sure you’ve got the best treats waiting for you — way better than grocery store cupcakes, right?

Curious about our companies? In Charleston, we love to support Sugar Bakeshop, Bullfish Cookie Company, + Chucktown Cheeseboards, as well as a variety of others if our go-to’s aren’t available!

 

we re-use + recycle

Ninety percent of our decor is either reusable or recyclable! Rather than paying for cheap decor that gets thrown away at the end of the weekend, we’re thrilled to offer an option that can make us all feel a little better about ourselves. Our team will return to your rental at the end of the weekend to gather cake stands, bar carts, backdrops, + anything else that can be re-used; we’ll also take your balloons to be recycled (or occasionally, we’ll donate our used garlands to a small business that can use it!).

Learn more about how we recycle our balloons here.

Hi, I’m randi!

Hi! I’m Randi, the founder + chief party girl at Kay + Co. Kay & Co began in January 2017 with a little idea to help out a busy maid-of-honor who wanted to make her best friend's bachelorette weekend special but didn't have the time; fast forward to today + we’re partying in 3 cities, partnering with tons of our favorite local businesses, + taking celebrations over the top for busy gals everywhere! From fridge-stocking to Insta-worthy photo backdrops to welcome bars, our team will arrive before your group + handle all the details to make sure your accommodations are ready to get the party started as soon as you walk in the door. I believe that our focus on local businesses & sustainability is what makes Kay + Co so special & I (along with my amazing team!) can't wait to make your weekend absolutely perfect, as well as completely stress-free.
