Cocktail Party

I'm in the mood for a good old fashion cocktail party...my thoughts





To Drink:


Highball, old fashion, and martini glasses...thinking sidecars, mint juleps, and a frufru drink, like a lemon drop and something with bubbles.





Ok I LOVE food, I love to see what other people put together, and little bites of deliciousness is right up my ally. I think it would be fun to have each guest bring an app, no not chips and salsa...but something a little thought and work went into...





To Eat: Mini Beef Wellingtons, Cantaloupe Lollipops with crispy prosciutto, roasted potatoes with chives, bacon and blue cheese.





For Fun: Maybe the cocktail party can have a fun Mustache Bash, and these invitations, and printables would be so cute. Found on Esty here.

I don't know just sounds fun, sounds like an excuse to dress up, and have good company around.

Happy Planning,

Mama Sarah

Inspiration

I'm so lucky that I LOVE social media, and have been able to make it part of "what I do." Do you ever wonder where I find my best stuff to post on Big 4 Party's FB and Twitter? I Love: In the Now, P.S. I Love You, The Rock n' Roll Bride & Staggered, Oh and not to be forgotten Bronze Budget Bride..

Wedding tips for the backyard bride

1. Brides who say they don't want to rent glassware for the beer, I totally get it, do yourself a favor, don't buy red solo cups, not even if red is one of your wedding colors. You don't want your wedding to look like a frat party. If you must go with plastic cups, use some clear ones. The reason you ask, when you look at your wedding photos that red cup will stand out. Don't even have them at your rehearsal dinner, they have a way of migrating to the big show.

2. Order an extra linen, or 2, you know that ugly table you didn't think you were going to need, guess what you'll end up needing it, and you'll want it to match the rest of your wedding.

3. Order extra dessert forks. You say you have them set on the table? Yeah, your Uncle Mark just gave it to the bus boy, who shoved it in with the dirty dishes. Now someone has to wash them quick fast and in a hurry, missing your cake cutting. OK if it's the bus boy, he didn't really care to start with ;)

Happy planning,
