It’s about time for a little inspiration, don’t you think?

With thanks to hostesswiththemostess.com for their wonderful table setting pictures – they have just the best ideas!

Happy Planning!

Here’s a different kind of bridal shower idea – a Bon Voyage party! 

No, your happy newlyweds-to-be don’t have to be embarking on a honeymoon cruise or flying off to an island destination.  It can be a honeymoon in the mountains, Napa Valley –  or anyplace, actually. 

Here’s how it works:

Discover the honeymoon location, then do a little online research on the area:

Contact the most interesting ones via email to find out what gift certificates/services they offer.  Then plan your Bon Voyage party! 

Provide invitees with the information they need to add a bouquet, a bottle of champagne, basket of fruit or perhaps a box of chocolates to the room.  Or how about a nice brunch at the hotel, in-room couples massages, an ATV expedition, tickets to a museum, amusement park, IMAX theater – once you’ve done the research, the possibilities are endless! 

Now you need some memorable favors for your guests.  These are theme-perfect for a bon voyage celebration!

Happy Planning!

Let’s see if this gives you a bit of inspiration for planning a Kitchen Shower …

Be it wedding favors, or bridal shower favors, or even baby shower favors, we hope we inspire your “inner hostessness”!

Planning a bachelorette party? A fun night out with the girls? We have just the favors to mark the occasion!

Enjoy …

You remember our new friends Lynsey and her soon-2-be sister-in-law Taylor, don’t you?  We enjoyed the pictures of Taylor’s last shower (and her Kate Aspen favors of course), and she’s already had her bachelorette party!

Lynsey hosted, and the lucky ladies took a road trip down to Charlotte to stay at A Loft at EpiCenter in Uptown – part of the chi-chi W hotel chain.  It’s a really neat space – and a great idea for this party because it’s right in the middle of a really cool entertainment district – restaurants, shopping, theaters – you name it!

This group of nine special friends started the night at Harper’s Grill, an upscale restaurant right there in the complex.

Then it was back to the room to dress in the evening’s attire – they had special t-shirts just for the occasion.  What a cute idea!  They played a few girlie games in Taylor’s room, everyone got a special gift bag to remember the evening (including our “It’s a Shoe Thing” favor), then headed out to dance the night away!  According to Taylor, everyone had a BALL, and they even closed the last place down!  LOL!

Congratulations to Taylor and to Lynsey, too.  I know the wedding will be beautiful!  And thank you for sharing.  We all enjoyed the details!

Best!
