Wedding Paper Divas

Wedding Paper Divas has been a great resource over the past few months.  I recently hosted an engagement party and this is where I ordered the invites from, we loved them so much we just ordered invites for a baby shower.  They have so many options and for than just weddings. I received a great email from them today with some fall inspiration that I thought I would share. I have also included a few additional items from invitations, save the dates and more from their site. My favorite though are their inspiration boards!

And the inspiration boards...

Special shopping event at Cynthia Rowley this Thursday with Elements of Style

I wish I could go!!!  I am obsessed with the elements of style blog and Cynthia Rowley isn't so bad either!

The cutest decorations, invites & more from Mary Had a Little Party

This has been an exciting year for my friends and we now have a lot of baby showers, engagement parties and more to plan. Of course I love every minute of it!  While looking for cupcake toppers for Sarah's baby shower, I came across Mary Had a Little Party on etsy and this online store is adorable!  They have the cutest custom invitations, cupcake toppers, signs, party hats and much more. Here is just a sampling of their offerings, enjoy!

 

                                                      

An alternative to the traditional bachelorette party

I am 31 and already my friends and I are over the traditional bachelorette parties.  I have hosted two parties at my parent's house in Florida.  Granted both included a night out on the town but also mixed in dinners at home and a private catamaran sail for one.  Let's face it, we are not 23 anymore!


My sister in law sent me this link and I thought I would share (especially since I have abandoned my blog over the past few months (thanks to my way to busy real job!)).   The New York Times ran an article about bachelorette cooking parties and I think this is a great option, either going to a restaurant or planning at a home.  It is something different and would work well for a mixed age group, plus you can drink a lot of wine while you mix together those ingredients!
