I had so much fun putting this together! I hope I can find another fabulous swap to join!
I joined a ParTEA swap with some bloggers through a fabulous party planner's blog, Risa. She owns The Partea Planner in San Clemente, CA. We were given a partner to swap with and I was paired with Mica, a wonderful artist from Washington. She sent me this beautiful Vicorian Teddy Bear Tea. As soon as I send her package, I will post my pics of what I sent to her (I don't want to spoil the surprise!).
My oldest son graduated from the 6th grade Friday morning. Friday night, the parents hosted a grad party at the clubhouse for 160 graduates. It was an American Idol theme and I was in charge of the decorations. I went down to the flower mart and was able to create 12 floral arrangements for $31! I already had the vases, blue glass chips and submersible blue lights. The posters were donated by a dad who works at Fox Studios. The cake was made by the grandmother of a graduate.
We had a red carpet entrance, back stage passes and "bouncers" at the door. We hired a DJ for dancing and the karaoke contest. We served pizza, chips, Dippin' Dots ice cream and cake. The kids got to take home "swag" bags filled with a choclate CD, bracelet, beach ball and an American Idol poster.
Today was my son's 9th birthday party. It was a golf theme. We had Putt-2-Go set up a mini golf course in our backyard. There were 5 holes and the kids were divided into threesomes. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd places received engraved trophies.
I made the cupcakes and custom made the flag sticks out of scrapbook paper. They sat on tiered stands dusted with raw sugar to simulate a sand trap. The kids signed a scrapbook page, guessed how many tees were in the canister (299 FYI) and received golf hats and medals.
