I recently put together a Birthday Party for my Relief Society and thought it came together so well that I'd share it with ya'll.
I got most of my inspiration and decoration from {
Sugar Tot Designs} who put together all these free printables just for us! So sweet.
I used part of her design to give out this invitation to each sister. Here is a {
PDF} or {
Word Doc} of it. You'll have to download the fonts I used to see it like this. They are Abermarle Swash and Cinnamon Cake.
I also created this print out to put up on the board to advertise. {
PDF} {
Word Doc} I had it printed at Office Max and make a little paper bunting to hang across the top at an angle. Should have snapped a pic of it. It was simple, but super cute.
Then, I found this printable quote at {
chocolate on my cranium} and edited it to fit my color scheme. If you'd like to print this one, just click on the pciture and print it.
Here it is in action on our food table, surrounded by flowers in a mason jar, lemon heads in an apothecary, and a pail full of getting to know you questions. I thought it looked pretty cute.
We also decided to create little bookmark type handouts to put at each seat for the sisters to take home. Here's a {
PDF}.
We kept things really simple with pink tableclothes and jars of flowers on each table.
The ceiling made it kinda fun. I strung balloons attached to ribbons acroos the ceiling, along with streamers.
We had the tables set up in a circle and had sisters only sit on the outside so everyone could see and hear everyone else. That made it easier to listen to each other as we each answered our "getting to know you" questions.
For Dinner, we just had a salad bar complete with croissants and chicken salad.
I made this bunting using paper and curling ribbon and double stick tape. Super easy, and dressed it up a little.
And of course, the cake had one to match.
All the cakes got little flags to match as well.
I thought this tres leches cake from Sam's Club was worth every penny! Super cute and we didn't have to make it!
The night turned out great. Good food, good company, and good times listening to people answer interesting questions about themselves.
It was a really low key evening, but that's kind of what made it nice.
