Denim & Sunglasses Party!

This next feature will make your jaws drop. LOVE the originality of this DENIMN AND SUNGLASSES PARTY submitted by Linda Harper or Australia's Harper Event Design. This party was styled for a corporate Christmas party- but could easily be a fabulous birthday party theme. I'm dying over the sunglass sugar cookies by Kiss My Cakes! And the jean pocket border around the table- SO cute! What a fun party theme!

Here is what Linda said about the party- "This dessert table was created for a corporate event (Boutique Homes) for their Christmas Party. The theme was "Sunnies Master, Denim Disaster". The client wanted LOTS of colour and prizes were awarded for the worst dressed guest :)
I wanted to do something a little different so created an outdoor feel buy doing a clothes line for the backdrop and incorporated the denim in the blue colours and pockets at the front of the table.
I had a number of sweets including cupcakes, cake pops and cookies along with lots of lollies. I also included 2 jars full of sunglasses for guests to take and pop on for their "photo booth" pics.
I hope you enjoy all the colour!"

All That Glitters New Year's Eve Party

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I'm good and charged for this upcoming year! So many exciting things are going to happen! Can't wait...

My next party feature goes to this fun ALL THAT GLITTERS NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY submitted by Elise Butler of Sweet Scarlet Designs. Isn't the gold color scheme so pretty! I love all the sparkle and flair. This set is perfect for a New Year's Eve party- and can be created in no time by purchasing the printable party set here. 

Here is what Elise said about the party- "To capture the glittery warmth of a New Year's Eve celebration, I have created this "All that Glitters" Dessert Table & DIY Party Printable Set to welcome 2012.

Featuring a beautiful, gold bokeh design and teamed with warmly-themed food (and chilled champagne, of course!), this glittery feast sets the stage for a fun-filled celebration.

To add to the golden sparkle, I used a glittery wrapping paper for the table cover & cupcake wrappers.

Food & drinks included a warming Butterscotch Schnapps starter, tagged with personalized wine charm tags (you can personalize these yourself in the PDF file!). A mix of savoury & sweet foods followed including individual serves of Apricot & Almond Cream Cheese with Honey, served with crackers; Champagne Cupcakes, Brandy Snaps & a trio of Coffee, Vanilla & Chocolate Macarons.

Co-ordinating candy bar wrappers complete the look along with wine labels, bunting, favor tags and fill-in invitation to set the tone."
