The girlies Angie Sara Melanie Me and Keisha- Allison had to leave early :(
Brandon Nick Denton and Aaron How did I miss Jordan and steve Left with my allison friend :(
I did a naughty or nice bar- diet coke coke dr pepper and schiblee on one side water and juice on the other- the sign is not the greatest but I literally had 2 minutes to make it. and again I forgot to take a picture of the whole drink thing which I thought I did- oh well it was one of my favorite parts
Paper lanterns are a great way to add whimsy and color- I think lighting is huge! when planning an event.
Layout of the appetizer bar-scrapbook paper beneath black chargers with square white plates on top- i labeled the foods with a valentine theme-{hot wings} aphrodesiac for strawberries in chocolate cupids fav was spinach rolls and {good for the heart was veggies} Everyone else brought desserts which we put on the other table- yay for good food!
Bar with the food on them now- sorry you cant see a close up pf the tags/labels- I get crazy at the end of setting stuff up i forget to take some pictures that I wanted to.
One of my favorites was this arrangments out of straight carnations- yes they are tacky and ugly when put with roses but bunched together with just carnations they can be modern and cool especially if you wrap them tight like a bridal bouquet- I was going to wrap the bottom with ribbon but ran out of time- and.. carnations are cheap- great pretty centerpiece for literally under 10 bucks- to make it a little funcky i just took some stems that i cut and stuck them out of the top like chopsticks
The favor and game table almost all set up- boys got kissing gum and a cookie
Girls favors were little bouquets you cant see it but i took spiky red grass and wove them into loops around each other and on the inside of the vase took a leaf and wrapped it around the glass- who dosnt love getting flowers! and I have this thing against roses- I figure there are so many other beautiful flowers in the world why not celebrate them- dont get me wrong roses can be beautiful there just not my cup of tea
These lanterns fit over my light fixtures- cool eh! If I wouldve had more time I wouldve grouped a bunch together and hung them from my entry way light fixture.
Why I love neutral decor- ...all you have to dois add accesscories with color red works with a lot of holidays x mas canada day 4th of july valentines- latin themes italian themes birthdays that arnt gender specific- thats why I have red- but its so easy to just wrap a shiny napkin around a pillow for a party to make them look like they match!and wrap ribbon around your lamp shades/candles those pink sticks were so cheap at Target- I just added them to my brown sticks- I dint take a picture but I put some of the pink ones into my urns outside and hung laterns from them.- its all about accesscories
before the color...-oh an my soap is in an oil/viniger holder and I change it according to the party colors I have at my house.-also it wouldve been fun to add colored hearts or wrapping paper to the frames in the back but I ran out of time. I had so much fun doing this little game night. It was great to meet new friends and get to know some people better. I laughed a lot last night and was greatful for a night out with friends. I can't wait for Brookes baby shower- I'm almost done with the invitations.

Good job my firend! I do the same thing with my soap! I love it so easy and it's right there! Just another pop of color.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!! What fun decorations. It looked like it was a really fun night...and the details made all the difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun night Bree- sorry we had to bail out early. It's a good thing we did- I think our spidey senses were tingling, cuz when we got to my parents' Kalea was still awake, and sooooo not her happy self! We had a great time though- and love love all the extra effort you put into making your home festive for the occasion!
