A Spring Fling :: Hosting a Spring Par-tay

Who doesn’t love to par-tay?  Whether it’s big or small, expensive or inexpensive — parties are just fun!  And when you really enjoy being the hostess with the mostess, they’re even more fun.   I had a blast pulling this mini spring fling together.   All parties (like design) start with inspiration. Mine started with these little kits I purchased from The Plaid Barn.  They screamed Spring {smile}.

From there it was just ensuring I had a vision and a budget.  What did I want to do?  How did I want to do it?  How much was I willing to spend?  I knew I didn’t want formal invites — a few word of mouth invites worked for me.  I also knew that I wanted it to be small, somewhat inexpensive and have some vintage flair.   A dessert bar was more or less what I was looking for as well.  From there I kept my eyes peeled for the perfect finds… and boy did I find some of them.  I think I may have nailed it.  What do you think?

Floral Arrangement in Coffee Tin // From my wedding shower
{DIY} Scrap Fabric Banner // Made by Me
Paper Lanterns // Target 
Turqouise Bird Cage// Michaels
Silver Pails // Target 
Yogurt Covered Pretzels.  Candy Sticks from Cracker Barrel
Utensil Container // Target
 Washi Tape embellishment
Robin Egg Blue Bowl and Spreader // Southern Living at Home
Tastefully Simple Strawberry Cheese Spread
Tastefully Simple Twisty Grahams
Placemats
Piece of 8.5 x 11 sheet of white paper with a piece of Martha Stewart tissue paper placed on top.
I’ve had this tissue paper forever — almost as though it was meant for this occasion.
Plates and Napkins // Target
Utensils and Straws //  Shop Sweet Lulu
I fell in {love} with these Wooden Utensils and the stripey straws were a must have as well.
Simply sweet and perfect.  I’m officially crushing on this shop now too.
Favor Supplies: 
Spring Mini Packaging Kit from The Plaid Barn
Berry Baskets from Shop Sweet LuLu
.
Later this week, I’ll share some tips and tricks on glass bottles, unusual cupcake toppers and a thrifty find. Not everything has to be elaborate, complicated or expensive. Sometimes simple and fun works too!
. 

Before we go, let me give yet another shout out to my awesome sister, Kristine. She assisted in taking all of these fabulous pics for me — and edited them. They turned out INCREDIBLE, but that’s how she rolls {smile}.
