Beyond the Guest Book

Here are some great ideas for
your wedding or shower guest books.
Well, they are really not books at all...
That is why I love them!

Love the Vintage feel.....

More like art!
Guest could choose a colored plexiglass piece
and write a message to the bride and groom.
Then at night it was illuminated!
I want to see that!

Thumb Print Tree

Guests were asked to leave a thumb print and their name!

Whooo's 3?

My sweet little girl turned 3 yesterday
and we celebrated this weekend with an
Owl Themed Party!
She loves owls!
This was a fun one to put together
and has quickly become a very popular
theme it seems this year!
I decided on Pink, Brown and Yellow
for a color palette.
On with the details....
Sweets
Sweets, Sweets, and more Sweets!
Cotton Candy, Whoppers, Chocolates, Gum Balls and More!

Favors
Ceramic Owl Pots served as the favors.
I made the tags with the saying
"Thanks for Coming
It was a Hoot!"
Cake

Thar cake was made by my favorite
local bakery
Cooper Street Bakery.



Crafts
The kids had so much fun painting
their owls and owl houses.

Place Setting

For the place mats I cut brown
foam sheets into circles!
So, easy and they make these in every color!
Place a pink plate on top of the foam
then topped it off with a yellow plate.
My new favorite thing is to tie
the plates up with matching ribbon!
Thank you so much to Chris
at
for this wonderful idea!

Whooo don't love Cotton Candy?
I took big bags of Yellow and Pink
Cotton Candy and shaped them into balls
with a drinking cup!
I then put them on wooden dowels
and placed them in glass vases
filled with lemon drops!

And of course the birthday girl!

I ordered her shirt from Modern Frills!
She designed the shirt around the colors
of the party!
She was right on and super fast!
Check out all of her very cute designs
at her etsy shop!
Owl art design by the very talented

I had so much fun putting this together
and to see the smiles on all of the kids
faces made the day priceless!

1 2 3 come drink with me...



I love to use drink dispensers!
I love all kinds... in all sizes.
Here are 3 options to choose from!
1. Single from Pottery Barn
2. Double from Bed Bath and Beyond
3. Triple from Z Gallerie
I am not sure what I like better!
All 3 of these would come in handy for
different events and get togethers.
What is your favorite?
