We had the good fortune of connecting with Alyson Fields and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alyson, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Creating party favors has always been my favorite part of party planning, so when my daughter was born and I was throwing these over the top birthday parties every year, I decided that I could benefit from my passion and started Aly’s Party Creations.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Aly’s Party Creations was created for the parents who want to plan over the top birthday parties on a budget. Beginning this business took a lot of time, research, practice and error which eventually paid off; and no, it wasn’t easy but I’d do it again tomorrow if I had too because learning my craft and using my creativity to take it to another level was pure enjoyment! When I’m mad or sad, I work on my business, it’s become an outlet for me.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Atlanta is home and the best city in the world! There’s so much to do, my favorite spots in the city are; The Atlanta Zoo, the Georgia Aquarium, the Ubar and.. Truist Park. There’s so much history here so you have to check out the MLK center and the Museums, the Belt Line and then find a cozy restaurant downtown and enjoy dinner.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shout out my daughter and her father for always encouraging me to push further. My daughter is an amazing helper, and I can ask her dad about any of my crazy ideas and he supports me, motivates me and without the both of them; there wouldn’t be Aly’s Party Creations.
