Outdoor Prom Dinner

Posted in Parties! by

Once again I had a prom dinner for my wonderful kids next door. This time there were 8 couples. So 16 kids. Yep that’s a lot of food. So this time I raised the price to 30 dollars a couple. The dinner was outside not only because there were so many kids but it also was the nicest weather day it a long time.

We put together flowers in vases with a ribbon around it. There were ten vases and twenty five miniature glass candles. The more the better. We used my mom’s china and glasses. DSCF1332

We used tulle for a runner. The sunset was perfect and it very romantic for the couples.

Some times simple is best and that what we went for. It was good because they had lots of food on the table.

Circus Bridal shower

Posted in Parties! by

My sister in-law had a adorable party that had a circus theme. Ann Stone, Michelle’s aunt, was the one that set up this wonderful party. I just had to share it. Image

We had a lot of fun. They made a “photo booth” With a banner and fabric. They did it in a hallway and had lots of props to play around with.

Image

 

It’s not hard to do but so cute.

ImageThey also had a circus tent of all the gifts.

ImageThey had games and you won tickets. This one you had to throw buttons into the mason jars.

Image

The signs had a vintage feel.

Image

They made this bean bag game with one of the couples engagements photos.

Image

They had a “kissing booth” where you had to pin a kiss on the grooms face. Loved it. 

Image

They printed out little lips and you put your name on the back to see who got closest. 

ImageThe sign was the the hallways so you knew where to go. 

Image

These shower had lots of food! It all went with the theme. Corndogs, popcorn, big pickles, cupcakes, and fruit. ImageThe Invites were also the theme. They did a great job. 

Image

ImageThis was the best personal touch of the evening. They had this sign and banner where she sat to open all her gifts. This was a wonderful shower and I love that I have a new sister in-law!

Let me know if you liked it!

Summer party

Posted in Great ideas! by

This was a dinner I did in the summer. It’s cheap but cute with bright colors perfect for the upcoming summer. It would be great for a youth dinner also.

If you have a real plant as a center piece you can give it as a gift at the end of the dinner.

The cups were 4 for a dollar, plates 4 for a dollar, 2 dollar plant one dollar tub, ribbon I had, and two 1 dollar serving plates. Total of 9 dollars. I loved the colors. They had a lot of cute summer stuff at the dollar store.

Buzz lightyear party!

Posted in Disney theme parties!, Parties! by

Disney is a favorite around my house . My nephew had a buzz lightyear party. It was a trip to star command. Where buzz got all his training.

I wish I had more pictures but all the games were training to be a space ranger. They made their own space ranger belts like buzz and got a diploma when they finished.
