Classroom Halloween Party


And the last halloween party feature goes to this super cute CLASSROOM HALLOWEEN PARTY submitted by One Charming Party. This is just too fun. The idea of adding some dry ice to some regular apple juice is just wonderful! I love the doughnut tree, cornstarch and water mix {gooey slime}, the spaghetti noodles {brains} & long pretzel sticks {dried up bones}! Goes to show that you can throw a great halloween class party with a few simple items. Thanks for your submission, Lyndsey!

Vintage Grey & Yellow Bridal Shower


Today's party feature goes to this lovely VINTAGE GREY AND YELLOW BRIDAL SHOWER submitted by Linsey Herrera of Lux Events & Design. What a gorgeous celebration. I love everything about it. Look at the typewriter, vintage frames, hanging mason jars, rosette flowers, doilies, milk glass & more! Swoon.


Here is what Linsey said about the party- "The color scheme was yellow and grey with a heart theme! I collected lots of different mason jars, old frames, old fruit crates and milk glass to use for decor. I assembled the dessert bar with different cake domes and riser boxes. The cupcakes were displayed on top of a vintage seed box. The guests sipped on mimosas and dined on fresh baked quiche, strawberry salad and fresh fruit. The dessert bar was a hit! There was not one sweet left! To keep with the theme, Heros Baking Co. cut lemon bars into hearts and baked fresh giant sugar cookies in the shape of a heart. The sweet and Saucy shop did grey fondant heart cutouts for the top of the cupcakes. Each guest took home a small jar of homemade lemon curd."

Crab Boil Party



And the next feature goes to this fun CRAB BOIL PARTY submitted by Lindsey Marlor of
Pillow Thought. Such a great way to get a group of friends together. This looks so fun. Line a big table with newspaper, cook a lot of crab, melt some butter, add some seasoning and there you have it! 

Here is what Lindsey said about the party- "We had a crab boil with our friends this weekend and it tasted amazinggg! Plus, it was super fun to get everyone together! It all started because Edgar Hansen off of Deadliest Catch was at a grocery store near by selling crab & Ty had to "plan" a group date for a class.. so an "end of summer party" seemed like the perfect thing to have. Plus, the weather ended up being so nice this past weekend!  If you haven't ever done a crab boil... you should definitely put it on your list!! Everyone needs to indulge in this experience!"
Menu:
Snow Crab
Shrimp
Potatoes
Corn on the cob
