You would think with a toddler I would party less, but this
year I’ve never hosted so many parties in my life! Now granted, these parties
involve lots of babies, preparing for babies, or wedding showers, but I’ve still
managed to sneak in day drinking for 2 of them!
This year I have thrown a 1 year old birthday party for my
little one, a wedding (for me! (and my husband)), a wedding shower, and two
baby showers. What can I say, I love to
party.
I thought I would upload some highlights of the parties so
that I could help inspire you to throw a party yourself. I am a firm believer that with some
creativity you can throw a fantastic (fun, chic, adorable) party without
breaking the bank. I have learned how to do a lot of things myself to help with
cost savings (paper poms, décor, appetizers, and party food), and the sense of
accomplishment afterwards is addicting. I think that’s why I keep signing up to
throw more parties!
I hope you enjoy the photos, let me know if you have any questions or tips for me. :)

I by no means did everything myself. I always had the help of wonderful friends and family. Banners and poms are so easy and fun to make I make them
for almost every party. If anyone is interested in the party foods that were served just let me know! I love sharing easy, delicious and affordable party recipes.
Hey Judy!
ReplyDeleteYou know you are my inspiration in life right?! Lol.
Quick question, how did you hang the pons from the ceiling? And the ones affixed to the wall, are they just taped?
Of course I'd love those party food recipes for my binder.
Shaday,
ReplyDeletehaha! I used a thumbtack and string. To put them on the wall I just used tape. :) I will create a post on party foods in the near future! :)
