Hello all!
I love Spring… it just feels like a new opportunity to get into warm weather party mode.

In honor of the year turning toward the warmer months, I’ve compiled a few Pinterest Boards of spring holiday decorating and menu ideas for Passover, Equinox, and Easter festivities, or that will work for a festive brunch, intimate wedding, baby shower, tea, or bridal shower.
I’ve also included a few of my own ideas and recipes too!
Enjoy!
Just a quick little post today from one of my favorite Facebook pals, Dani of Dollface Desserts in Houston, TX.

I made these for my wedding in 2011 and migrated this post to my blog here to share.
Please… don’t make me Parent Under The Influence…
God, what a horrible song. I’m sorry I did that to you and myself.
My Home Tour was recently featured on the ever-lovely and always helpful OffBeatHome.com, and there were positive responses to my party signage and requests for copies.
A few recent threads and conversations in my social network has got me thinking about parties, potlucks, and events. Specifically, the logistics of executing hosting tasks in a fairly tasteful, fun, and drama-free manner. As we move into the wedding/party season of late spring and summer, many brides and party hosts are dealing with these issues:
“I don’t have time.”
“I would ask people to help, but I don’t know how to delegate.”
“How come potlucks always ends up being a random mix of weird foods?”
“I can’t make those cute decorations on Pinterest.”
“How can I feed a large party of people on $20?”
“I just don’t want to be a bitch/asshole.”
“Everything costs money.”
So… many… pom poms….
Let’s approach these issues one by one. Ready?
An elopement is not a second-rate way to get married. An elopement can still be beautiful, meaningful, and important.
My brother and new sis-in-law just eloped in Vegas, and I spent the last month helping them pull it together. Since this was the second awesome and fun elopement I helped to plan in 2 years (my own being the first) I thought I’d post a comprehensive all-in-one for you smart kids who want a CHEAP AND FUN way to get married. For as little as $60, you CAN get married, on the sly, in style, and quickly. And it doesn’t have to suck.
Still not sure? You can always have a big wedding reception party to introduce your families and friends later on. This is becoming pretty popular. Who doesn’t want two weddings? Two awesome days celebrating you and the person you love? Two Anniversaries? TWO DRESSES, EVEN? Yes, please!
