:: friday night inspiration ::
I thought today I'd share a little inspiration I put together.
Unfortunately the bf is out of town for too many days (9)... sad face. BUT since he is out, a girlfriend and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a girls night! A little good came from the lonely week and a half I'll be spending without him. Fortunately this has kept my mind busy.
I'm sure all of you creative guys and gals can relate when I say that I am a visual person. So when planning a party I cannot simply write a list... I need pictures and inspiration to remind me the feeling and atmosphere I want to create for an event. With that said, here are a few pages I created from tear sheets and a few print outs from blogs, internet, etc... I've found this to be the best way for me to sort info and inspiration and the best way to KEEP me inspired while planning.

Love these ideas from pottery barn::
... silverware housed in glass jars ...
... decor set upon stacked vintage books...
:: mini champagne ::
... we plan on removing the labels and making our own custom labels ...
:: doilies as decor ::
... white, white, white! ...
... adorable calligraphy and a great idea for a name card, or these could even be set next to your food and drink to label them ...
:: um, no brainer... macaroons ::
- another shot of the mini champs -
... and also a clever and cute way to label your food and drink, chalkboards! the great thing about these are you can use them over and over for all of your different gatherings ...
I can't wait to share actual shots of our girls night friday!
Hope you all have a fabulous week:)
