The menu and place card below are made from blank cards i bought at the dollar store, green leftover ribbon, and tan thick card stock i had laying around. I paid $1 for 8 cards and envelopes :) Can't beat that!
If you turn the menu over, i printed the menu items on regular white paper and glued them onto the menus. I know, I know.... What a ton of food!! We didn't think it would take that long to prepare, but boy we were wrong! I'm not going to lie, it was hard work ~ all worth it though.
For the table setting i turned the salad plate so that it would look like a baseball field. It added a little flare of art to the setting.
Bobby and I decided that we would have a wine activity during appetizers so i made cute little labels :)
Here i decided to use the same ribbon i used in the menus to tie everything together.
Since we couldn't have dinner outside, i decided to bring the outside in. I took real grass from our backyard and placed it in square candle holders with water. I think it turned out to be cute!
Simple but stunning!! Sometimes a little flare can be made simple!
Here we are having the salad. Awe...
Cheers to the end of our meal :)
Yummy dessert! Presentation is the key!
The End! Lessons learned? A little bit here and there can definitely add a lot to an event. Also, don't let a little rain destroy a good time... sometimes for us control freaks, we have to learn that you can't control everything... i know... deep breath and smile!
For this i used red tissue paper. I scrunched it into a ball and then slowly pull it apart. I printed some photos of RPattz and Kristen and taped them on the tissue. It was really easy and it looked pretty cool.
