Hunger Games Themed Party

This past weekend, I threw a Hunger Games themed birthday party for one of my closest friends, Lori. We gathered a group of hardcore fans of the book series and headed to see the film at Cinebistro with matching shirts that the hubs designed before heading over to our house to celebrate. I worked really hard on all the details, with help from the hubs and the bestie, and I was so happy with the way things turned out.

As for the movie, I think they did a good job. But, of course, a movie will never be as wonderful as a book. Never. Unfortunately, I think their biggest downfall was character development. There were a lot of relationships that were not delved into as they should have been and remained pretty superficial, but the acting was absolutely amazing. Jennifer Lawrence is my girl, yo.

Harry Potter Invitations

I have a sincere love of party planning. Nothing gets me happier than planning a really fun and amazing event. Of course, nothing gets me more stressed. Just call it a love/hate. I have quite a few amazing events coming up in the next few months, and I figured I would share them with you all. Hope you all enjoy!

Although my killer Hunger Games party is quickly approaching (next week – eek), I am also planning a Harry Potter themed weekend  bachelorette party. The bride, her bridal party and friends will be heading up north to spend a weekend in Orlando, FL, specifically at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I am not going to lie, this is one of the coolest ideas for a bachelorette ever. I kind of think I need a do-over! 😉

But all kidding aside, I totally believe that party invitations really set the tone for any event, so naturally the invitations for the bachelorette had to be epic. After all, we are going to have the most amazing time. Thanks to some inspiration, I decided to put together a whole acceptance package into Hogwarts. I grabbed a bulk order of Kraft mailing tubes, and looked up the exact wording of Harry’s acceptance letter (find it here). I typed up individual letters for each lovely lady wizard, making it more authentic with aged paper, an official letterhead and a legit McGonagall signature.

Lovable Friday!

1. Polka Dot glassware

I am totally loving the fun polkie revolution taking place all across design. After all, who can deny a good polka dot? I know I can’t. One for not taking glassware/tableware very seriously (we never registered for china – wtf for, man?!), I am totally lusting after these beauties. I think it would be absolutely impossible not to smile while drinking from them, even though I’m pretty sure I would just place them on my kitchen counter and admire them from afar. File this one under possibly too cute to use!

Lovable Friday!

1. Kate Spade Pumps

I’m pretty sure Kate Spade should pay me at this point for the incessant promotion on my blog, or at least offer me some free swag, don’t you think? I can’t help that all her designs are so perfectly feminine with just the right touch of rebellion. Case in point: these gorgeous pumps. Vibrant yellow seems like it is going to be the shade of the spring, and paired with this playfully striped heel, you’ll be the life of the party. Or at least the target for jealous glances.

1. Cloud hangers

I wish I could tell you I know exactly where you can find and purchase these adorable cloud hangers, but unfortunately, this was one of those random Tumblr finds. However, after some Internet research, I found similar ones from one of my old favorites, Fred Flare. How cute would these look in a child’s closet or just to display some special frocks? Sigh!
