Real Party: Farewell Luau
July 6th, 2010 by Carrie Sellman | 10 Comments

We’re back after a long holiday weekend with a real party that is all about summer fun.  Lindi Haws, of lovetheday designs, sent over this cheery event she created for friends who were moving to Hawaii.  This festive Farewell Luau is sure to make you want to get out and enjoy the sun.

I just love the bright colors and tropical feel created by the netting backdrop and pineapple vases.  Very clever!  Treats included coconut macaroons, lemon bundt cake, lime cupcakes with coconut frosting, chocolate covered pretzels, pineapple juice, sorbet, otter pops and Gatorade.  Doesn’t this party just make you want to be outside?  This summery theme would also be perfect for a pool party or summer birthday party.

Special thanks to Lindi for submitting this charming event.  You can get the full scoop on this party on Lindi’s blog.  And be sure to check out her adorable party printables in the lovetheday Etsy Shop.

Real Party: Elegant Tea Party
June 29th, 2010 by Carrie Sellman | 7 Comments

I am always amazed by the abundance of talent in this world.  Case in point – the talented mastermind behind today’s real party.  Tracey Lau is a mother of five with a passion for food, interiors, events and photography.  To celebrate her own 40th birthday, Tracey created this amazingly elegant tea party in French Blue, Chocolate, Caramel and Vanilla.  Everything about this party is crisp, clean and utterly perfect.

This party is definitely my cup of tea!  The cake is not only elegant but flawless.  The miniature foods included Ham, Jarlsberg & Dijon Mustard Croissants, Mini Quiche Lorraine and an assortment of sandwiches.  My favorite has to be the Chocolate Mousse Shots adorned with mini spoons and a ribbon.  Pure genius!

If you love this party, be sure to check out Tracey’s blog for even more fabulous party inspiration.  You will just adore the Kite Party she created for her son!  Prepare to be wow-ed!

There are so many details to love about this party including the handmade party hats with yarn poms and the Hello Kitty goodie boxes.  A pink and brown dessert bar perfectly fits into the theme and adds that sweet touch.  I know lots of little girls (and big girls!) who would fall in love with this charming setup.  It is just too cute!
