It's so hard to believe our Bryson is almost 1 year old! It seems like just yesterday we were making last-minute plans for his arrival. Time flies when you're having fun, and are we ever!
We recently completed our backyard oasis, and it was the perfect time to christen the fab entertainment space with a party! Since I recently became a Thirty-One consultant, I knew this would be the perfect time to kick off my new venture.
Mimosas, Crafting and Vintage Photos: How the Pinterest Party Came Together
Events September 27, 2013
If you've been following along for the last couple months, you know I've been planning a vintage-inspired Pinterest party. I have always loved planning events and thinking of ANY excuse to have friends over, and this turned out to be a perfect idea! From my hand-crafted Save-the-Dates, burlap & lace utensil holders and spruced-up plastic cups to the photo booth props and invites, I had SO much fun preparing for this party. I couldn't wait to bring everything together, take photos and share them with you!
So the whole point of my Pinterest party was to have a few of my favorite people join together and create a crafty project. While one of my favorite parts was making preparations for the party, I also thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship with great friends.Here is the craft the guests elected to recreate:
Remember this photo booth frame I made? Oh, and these fun props, too? I was actually impressed with how well everything went together.
Oh my gosh. I had seen SO many awesome ideas for this on Pinterest, and I could not wait to make my own. Mimosas are one of my favorite ways to kick off the weekend morning, and I couldn't wait to share one (or two) with friends. :)
If you've ever thrown a party before, you know preparing for it is the most time-consuming part...more specifically, setting up the tables and chairs. The case was no different for me as I put together the table and chair decorations with A LOT of help from my sweet Hubs, sister and brother-in-law (Thanks guys!).
I will be the first to admit I am not a fan of yogurt. But, with the right ingredients, you can flip anyone into a yogurt lover.This is another one of those things where you can quickly become overwhelmed with ideas. If you just stick to the basics--fresh fruit and granola--you should be good. However, I like mine more on the unhealthier side, so I may have added something a little different. :)
I LOVE popcorn. Cotton candy...not so much. But, the colors seemed to go so well with everything else, I thought, "Why not?" Plus, it made for a perfect parting favor for my guests.
