I don’t think I’ve ever thrown a party halfway. It’s either all or nothing in this house. When it comes to party planning, I take things very seriously.
That being said, I didn’t go all out for Quinn’s baptism reception. Sometimes less is more. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.
Life is just a little busy in our house right now, and I didn’t have time to bring a lot of pieces together. I grabbed this balloon garland kit on Amazon (and paired it with these small rose gold balloons) to start. That’s the easy part.
We cut a simple dove cutout with a Cricut machine, strung them on fishing line, and hung them behind the balloon garland. We alternated with a white cardstock and a white shimmery cardstock.
We featured custom cookies by Cellar Door Cookies, made a pretty charcuterie board, and had lots of pretty floral arrangements put together by my bestie (all of which she grabbed from Trader Joes). I grabbed a few signs from Hobby Lobby too (I may just return them after, don’t tell anyone) and voila! We have a party!
Because there’s no such thing as a party without favors, I had to do something cute for this too. I found these crosses at Hobby Lobby on clearance for less than $1/piece. I cut and pasted pink cardstock onto each one (it had a bright ugly print color before), and my bestie used her amazing calligraphy skills to write on the back of each one. Now we have something to remember this day by!
