For most people the thought of attending one is exciting but the thought of planning one turns some to tear their hair out. A successful event or party is a planned and organised one. I decided to start this blog to share all my party planning ideas.Kristyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13977496113343361369noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300438783553065779.post-39386185967740164632012-03-18T02:53:00.000-07:002012-03-18T02:53:52.644-07:00Ladies who Brunch!<span style="font-size: large;">I love any excuse to see my girlfriends and also any excuse to cook and try out some new recipes. One perfect Sunday morning I invited six beautiful friends over for brunch. For the table styling I picked a palette of black, yellow and white. The colours looked fresh and reflected the morning sun of the day.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Menu</span><br />
I wanted the food to be set up on the table and the guests to eat as they pleased.<br />

<b style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Mini French Apothecary jars</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sharneldollardesigns.com.au/store/pc/French-Mini-Apothecary-Jar-49p338.htm"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMYiYQSsqan-AWMQt5LWattR6CI-P-GAWm9s1gedEKSU7I_WLwSk68TnW-fO3zyFs2JpPFUrpwBJqBogkA3JZmKi3iBblPa6WRGm2gkN68I9ZhgVzjf78E2xlZMI5Uk6THxFtyoxreM9Q/s320/minifrenchjars_1093_detail.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>These stunning jars would look so elegant on any event table. In the pic it shows 3 delicious french macaroons inside the jar, but this could also be filled with sweets in the event colour, chocolates or cookies. The tag can hold your words of thanks or actually be part of the table setting and name of the guest. You can purchase this wonderful find from <a href="http://www.sharneldollardesigns.com.au/store/pc/home.asp">Sharnel Dollar Designs</a>.<br />

This is a great idea for an event favor with personalised labels to show your words of thanks. The cookies could also be a part of a dessert buffet or even put into jars just like above. Who doesnt love homemade cookies- not just for a kids party.<br />

Lolly pops are a fun way of not only having a cute favor for your guests, but also introducing colour to the event tables. The ribbon can hold the tags and guest names at each table setting or can be displayed as above in a vase and become the table centerpiece. The lolly pops can be ordered from <a href="http://www.toutmonamour.com.au/store/pc/home.asp">Tout Mon Amour.</a><br />

My friend Anya threw a fantastic rainbow party for her daughter Piper. Every detail of the party followed the theme and all the clever ideas were created by the host. Most parties these days especially children's parties, the focus is usually on the desserts and decorations. In this party however Anya had a clever idea of the rainbow theme being represented in the lunch as well, with hamburgers and all the colourful ingredients set out just like a rainbow.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Details details......</b></span>.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Decorations</b>:</i><br />
The gorgeous garden was transformed into a rainbow wonderland with a colouring station, pall pit, colourful mat and obstacle course, all surrounded by Bali flags of every colour.<br />
The serving table was decorated by tissue pom poms, paper lantern and balloons.<br />

</a></div><span style="font-size: large;">I love any excuse to throw a party. So when my Father in law asked if us "kids" could organise something for my mother in law's birthday, my husband and I gladly volunteered. We decided with spring around the corner to have a afternoon party with a earthy and green theme. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Details, Details.... </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Decorations: Using the green palette I used small paper lanterns from <a href="http://www.pinkfrosting.com.au/">Pink Frosting</a>. I also created a paper chain using two wrapping papers cut into strips and linked using double sided tape. Paper chain are the "New Thing" in paper decorations at the moment- very cheap, easy to create and effective.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Napkins: apple green cocktail napkins also from <a href="http://www.pinkfrosting.com.au/">Pink Frosting</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Plates & cutlery: wooden plates and cutlery from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_376397723">Donna Hay General store</a></span><br />
<br />

<b><i>THE FOOD....</i></b><br />
We decided to something different from our usual family BBQ and have all finger food, but things we have never made before. Each couple was to bring a couple of plates. It was success- the food was superb!<br />

I am very exciting to be writing about the latest dessert craze- Push pops or another wise known as Cake Shooters.<br />
Its seems to be at parties its all about the "entertainment" element of the food rather than the food itself. With these "push pop" cake shooters you can combine the two. A fun gimmick to surprise your guest filled with any of your favourite desserts.<br />
I first found these amazing desserts featured over at <a href="http://onecharmingparty.com/2011/06/22/push-pops/">One Charming Party.</a><br />

</div>My mind ( and my tastebuds) go crazy at all the many desserts that could work as a cake shooter.<br />
You could fill the containers with any dessert combination- just use the container itself as a cookie/cake cutter. <br />

A perfect way to start the "first" is with a first birthday. The birthday girl is my little bubba Bowie. The theme of the party was based on the whimsical tale by Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland, with a twist- "Bowies in ONEderland".<br />
The setting of the party was a home afternoon tea party with a red, blue and pink colour palette.<br />
<br />
<b> The invitation</b>- home made by me with supplies sourced from Etsy.<br />

The well known scene from the films and of course the book where Alice grows and shrinks from the "eat me" and "drink me" was recreated with printable labels purchased by the fabulous Tom Kat Studios.<br />
The party favors were a tea cup cookie for each guest to take home created by the wonderful Cookie Creations.<br />
