Quick answer: for a vision board party, each guest needs their own board, scissors and glue stick, plus magazines or printed pictures to cut up. Type how many are coming and how long you have: the planner multiplies out the shopping list, times the evening (welcome, intentions, cutting, building, a share round) and makes an invitation to send or print. It works the same for a class or workshop.

How to use it

  1. Type the number of guests and pick how long. Two hours suits most groups; one hour is tight but works for a small table.
  2. Paper or phones. A paper night needs the craft supplies. A digital night needs a phone or laptop each and nothing bought: everyone builds on our vision board maker.
  3. Open "More" for the start time, how many magazines each guest brings, and how long each person gets to share their board.
  4. Make the invitation. Add a title, a date and a place, pick a color, and save it as a picture or copy it as a message.

What the numbers are

Every number on this page is your own, multiplied out: one board, one pair of scissors and one glue stick for each guest, because everyone makes their own board and nobody should wait. Magazines are the number each guest brings times the guests, and it goes on the invitation so they know. One copy of our printable vision board kit each gives everyone words, affirmation cards and a title to cut out; pictures to print stand in for magazines.

We don't guess at extras you may or may not want, like washi tape, stickers or snacks. Add them to the copied list yourself.

How the evening is timed

  1. Welcome, about a tenth of the time.
  2. Intentions: everyone picks the parts of life their board is for and writes three things for each. Our vision board ideas generator helps anyone who is stuck.
  3. Gather pictures and words: the longest step on paper, since cutting takes time.
  4. Build the board: whatever time is left, never less than fifteen minutes.
  5. Share round: the minutes each person gets, times the number of people. When a round of the whole room would take more than a third of the evening, the planner switches to sharing in pairs, everyone at once, then one word each to the room.

It is a starting plan, not a rule. If the plan runs past your time, the page says by how much.

A vision board workshop

For a class, a team day or a community workshop, choose "A class or workshop". The plan is the same, the invitation reads "Vision Board Workshop", and the list calls everyone participants. For a large group, the pairs share round keeps the ending on time.

FAQ

What do I need for a vision board party?
For each guest: a board (poster, foam or cork), scissors and a glue stick. Then something to cut up: magazines the guests bring, or printed pictures and words. Type your number of guests above to get the list multiplied out.
How long does a vision board party take?
About two hours is comfortable: a welcome, time to think about intentions, time to cut and build, and a share round at the end. The planner times each part for the hours you choose.
What do you do at a vision board party?
Everyone thinks about what they want the year to hold, gathers pictures and words for it, builds a board, and shows it to the group. The planner gives you that running order with the times.
Can we make vision boards on our phones?
Yes. Choose "Phones & laptops": everyone needs a device and the vision board maker, and there is nothing to buy or clean up.
What should a vision board party invitation say?
The title, the date, the start and end time, the place, and what to bring, such as two magazines to cut up. The planner writes it for you, as a picture to send or print and as a message to paste.
