{Hunger Games Week}: Inspired by Katniss & Co.

On day 2 of Hunger Games week, I decided to focus on all the fabulous Hunger Games-themed party details that are popping up all over the web. As you all know, I’m throwing my own Hunger Games themed party this weekend to celebrate both the premiere and my friend’s birthday, and I was a little miffed to see all the inspiration pop up within the last 2 weeks, when all my crafts were basically done! Not to say that I may not try to tackle some of these new projects. 😉

I especially love the subtle inspiration taken for the wedding shoots as seen on Green Wedding Shoes and the suspended parachutes at one awesome kid’s Bar Mitzvah. Also, for those of you rushing to get a party together in time for the movie’s release, Living Locurto has a great collection of free party printables! I know I’ve snagged a few of her great details, like the drink straws shown above featuring some choice quotes from the first book.

Are you having a Hunger Games party this weekend? Would you have one?
Even better, do you have ideas that you think are imperative to include at a Hunger Games fiesta?

Lovable Friday!

1. Chevron Candles

I think candles are so pretty and I love having them around the house, but I never want to light them. Is that normal? I know I definitely wouldn’t want to with these pretty chevron candles from the always fabulous zgallerie. I mean, how amazing are they? Definitely too amazing to light, that’s for sure.

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.
