The summer solstice is the perfect time for an astrology themed dinner party! I invited all my girlfriends and asked them to bring a new friend along so we could all meet new people. Of course it ended up raining that night, so I got two 10×10 pop up tents with beige tops. I hungContinue reading “Astrology Mixer”

50th Ice Cream Social
Nothing says 50 better than stuffing your face with ice cream! For this birthday celebration, we asked guests to bring their favorite ice cream toppings and set up a sundae bar. I made a banner that said “Sundae Funday” and underneath, set up toppings bowls with labels for people to write their names. We alsoContinue reading “50th Ice Cream Social”
Orange-y Mother’s Day Brunch
I’ve always loved a citrus theme and decided to take it full on orange for Mother’s Day. We did a sit down brunch with a white table cloth topped with greenery, dried oranges, yellow flowers and string lights with clipped on photos. Each place setting got a white glass plate, orange napkin, wine glass andContinue reading “Orange-y Mother’s Day Brunch”
Dumpling Birthday Party
There is a dumpling in almost every culture! That was the idea behind this party. Every couple/guest brought a different kind of dumpling and a matching alcohol. We had raviolis + wine, mandu + soju, pierogies + polish beer, gyoza + sake, and empanadas + beer. Each guest got a turn in the kitchen andContinue reading “Dumpling Birthday Party”
First Day of Spring Brunch
I celebrated the first day of spring on my balcony sipping mimosas! I set up a lower table with cushions for seats. It was topped with a table cloth, table runner, colorful plates, flowers and a cheese board. I opted for pastels for the place settings and brighter flowers to balance everything out. I madeContinue reading “First Day of Spring Brunch”
St. Patrick’s Day Brunch
St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t have to be all about partying, it can be a *mature* adult brunch too. I set up a cutesy brunch tablescape, perfect for sipping mimosas. I found a green clover/flower-y table runner and topped that with green and white candles. The center piece was a light green plant and I addedContinue reading “St. Patrick’s Day Brunch”
Astrology Cocktail Birthday Party
This is a birthday party for the astrology lover! We had six guests – everyone chose a cocktail from the Mixology of Astrology recipe book, brought ingredients and glasses, and then presented to the group. Of course we did a taste testing after each one. DECORI tried to keep it simple and choose a blueContinue reading “Astrology Cocktail Birthday Party”
Red Wings 30th Birthday Party
Since we can’t go to any sporting events, I decided to create one at home for a 30th birthday party. I did my best to bring Little Caesar’s Arena vibes to a living room. DECORI hung up red curtains and put a “happy pucking birthday” banner across it for photo opportunities. I hung up redContinue reading “Red Wings 30th Birthday Party”
Red Hot Galentine’s Day Party
Another year, another Galentine’s celebration! This year, my theme was “red hot hotties” showcasing some of our celebrity crushes and spicy candy. I tried to keep the colors bright red and pink. A contrast to my pastel theme last year. TABLE TOPI got glitter paper from Michael’s and cut out a bunch of hearts. IContinue reading “Red Hot Galentine’s Day Party”
Krampus Beer Tasting
Another season, another tasting! We gathered as many Christmas/winter themed beers that we could find and set up a tasting with friends. We used the below scoring sheet to rate each beer on whether it was “naughty” or “nice”. Usually I make a key at the top outlining what you should look for in aContinue reading “Krampus Beer Tasting”
