I love this display - it is so interesting! You can look at it over and over again and always find a creative and delicious way to treat your guests.
 
This is a great example of a concept that can be adapted to any type of event with any theme!
 
One of the latest trends for parties is the photo booth. Whether you have rented a booth of your own or just set up and area with a camera...they are becoming more and more popular.

Check out the details of this "Stock the Bar" Couple's Shower!
 
We recently threw a Stock the Bar Couple's Shower and each guest left with their own "Hangover "Kit"
I purchased the boxes from uline.com, made a bed of shredded black paper and place a mini bottle of vodka, mini Spicy Hot V8, Emergen-C and a roll of breath mints. Next to the favor boxes, I created a sign and framed it reading "Thanks for coming and ceelbrating with us tonight, we hope this kit takes off the bite."
 
I love the way my friend, Dalise, labeled the mason jars for her party! The adults were able to write their names on the label, but the children were pre-written and had a colorful top with a fun straw!
 
This is a great way to add some zing to your refreshing summer beverages! Infusing your ice cubes with flavor will be an unexpected surprise to your typical lemonade, water or iced tea! Here are some of my favorites: lemon, lime, fresh berries and mint leaves.
