DIY Smores Kits

I have been searching for a fun favor for

our July 4th celebration and I think I have found them!

Check out these Smores Kits

from Twig and Thistle.

I love these boxes all tied up with baker's twine!

These would look so cute tied up with many of the cute
4th of July downloadable tags that are floating around
on the web!
Like these from Bella Grace Party Designs!

I like bugs....

If they are this friendly!

Check out this super cute party

This precious party was the work of

Prudent Baby.

I love the color combination!

that she too is in the Dallas area!

Just check out the details!

I am in love with this Sugar Cookie Cone!

Striped straws are always a hit!

Midnight Wedding Snack

As your guest are enjoying an evening of
dancing and mingling, here is a cute idea of
serving a wedding midnight snack.

I love these mini stacks of baby pancakes drizzled with maple syrup!

These could easily be passed around.

Your guests could grab a stick, eat and keep on parting the night away!

So, what do you think?

These would be so fun for a girls night too!

What a sweet surprise!

Ice Ice baby

Ok, so the ice sculptures of old are not

very hip.

Swans and cupids are

not what people are looking for these days!

Think Martini, Champagne, Raw Bar....

Well meet Don Chapelle.

He is an amazing ice artist who's love for

sculpting ice began when he was 18!

Check out these very cool

and functional designs!

Caviar and Vodka Station.....

Raw Bar....

Milk and Cookies bar!
This has to be my favorite!

1920's Style Birthday Bash

This past weekend my husband and a good friend

celebrated their 40th birthdays!
We decided on a 1920' style speakeasy/Prohibition party.
We hired a casino company to run the gambling portion of the party.

If you are in Dallas and ever need a casino company

look no further than Ante Up!

They were great!

On with the party....

The Guests of Honor...

Photo Booth...

We had a blast with the frames.

One of my favorite pictures below is one of my

best friends pregnant belly in the frame!

I used wooden crates for the centerpieces.

I first stacked them on top of each other

then filled them with shredded paper

and placed moonshine bottles inside.

I used clip art to create all of the labels

and hung pearls from the crates.

By the way...the bottles are Carlos Rossi Sangria jugs!

Perfect!

Shady Lady Saloon...

One of my favorite labels!

Cocktail Tables and Florals...

Lamps and decor....

Sweets Table....

Cakeballs and Mini Desserts

Lemon Raspberry, Chocolate Kahlua, and Cheesecake

I made all of the dessert labels with Chandelier clip art.

Mason Jars...

These made for the perfect 1920's drinking glasses.

I made special drink labels for the glasses.

Party Goers...

We had so much fun and everyone looked amazing!
