I think this egg cup and plate would make a great dessert pedestal. I did get the egg cup to go with the green plate I already have, but the other plate would be perfect! I think it would be about $6 total if you bought both.

both found here

What are you loving today? Happy hump day friends!

How to Decorate for a Party

I just love getting to decorate for a party!!! There are so many great ideas and they really aren't too hard to do yourself. So, today I want to share a few different ideas and sites to help make your own party something everyone remembers! I'm currently brainstorming for Thomas' 25th Birthday next month!!!!

{1}

Take a white platter and place a piece of scrapbook paper (that matches your theme) on top. Place your desired food on top of that. It makes your appetizers or desserts just POP with pizzaz.

Check out Anders Ruff to see this idea and Many MANY more. They have amazing ideas and tons of printables you can get from their ETSY shop.

Make your own paper garland using circles of scrap paper in your color scheme and a sewing machine. I haven't made one yet but it's on my to do list. Here's a link to the how-to for making your own paper garland.

{3}

Make a homemade cake stand or dessert stand by using a plate and a candlestick. Just use superglue to glue the plate on top of the candlestick and presto a custom stand. This is also a great gift idea during the holidays or for a special birthday. Make the stand and fill it with goodies, wrap in saran wrap and tie with a bow.

{4}

Make cupcake toppers using a scallop punch and stickers. All you need is to cut out a scallop circle, add a sticker, and hot glue to a toothpick!!!

{5}

Customize water bottles or wine bottles by wrapping scrapbook paper around and adding a sticker or logo onto it. Then line them up in rows to look extra glam.

What are some ideas yall have???

Happy Party Planning~Kristen
