Pretty Party Presentation: 2011

Chinese Party

I'm really into the dipped fortune cookies. They were a hit at my Chinese New Year party earlier this year.

Yummy egg rolls with cute little flags...

Here's my favorite detail: sushi Rice Krispies treats wrapped in fruit leather with colored licorice inside. How creative is that?

And, not to be missed are her invitations. Oh, the invitations. They are just lovely.

If you have ever read Stephanie Brubaker's blog, you know that everything she touches turns to gold. This is one talented individual, I tell ya. Not only does she have impeccable taste, she is a talented cook and a wonderful party planner. Here's her latest party endeavor: a Paris-themed birthday for her daughter.

She started off with macaron lollies, and idea she spotted in a recent issue of Donna Hay.

Look at all of those tours Eiffel. What a charming way to create the atmosphere.

For dessert: crêpes, of course. My favorite crêpe filling is warm bananas sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. SO.GOOD.

While the girls waited for all of the guests to arrive, they made build-your-own Eiffel Towers from sparkly silver pipe cleaners. Genius!

Patina'd Outdoor Party

The party was held outside under the tress

Jess used a cupboard to display old fashioned desserts

I love how she decorated the wrought iron chairs...who new that tin cans could look so sheek?

Some pink lemonade for the guest....

Served in mason jars

The birthday "banner" goes right along with the theme...so creative!

The cupcakes: mini lemon cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting

Lemonade sugar cookie sandwiches

A pink lemonade cake

Lemon drop filled jars

And the favor buckets

Girls Tea Party

CupKate's Event Design

I love outdoor parties and this Tea Party has a great outdoor setting! The Tutu bench is one of my favorite details and could be used for so many different party themes (princess, Angelina...).

This is my other favorite detail: a Cupcake Bouquet! Love it!!

Each guest was sent home with a bag of homemade chocolate tea cups, saucers, and spoons. Yummy!

CupKate's Event Design put together a beautiful party. Best of luck with your new venture!

Campout Party

This post is for all of you moms out there who struggle to come up with fun party ideas for the little "men" in your life. This CAMPOUT PARTY by Lisa of Moore Minutes screams BOYS! Lisa designed this party around her son's love of camping and included 3 main party scenes at the campsite: the gift and banner area, the main food table, and a S'mores buffet.

The Banner and Gift area (the banner said "Adventure")
