Holiday Party : Christmas
My absolute favourite time of the year is Christmas. I am known to go a tad crazy during this time of year. Here's a few Christmas Parties below.
Holiday Party : Thanksgiving
There is so much inspiration for a party in the fall, the natural colours of this time of year are beautiful! Take advantage of your surrounds, bring the outside in! Oranges, reds, yellows and browns create a beautiful atmosphere for a fall-themed party or of course, Thanksgiving!
Themed Party : 50 Year Anniversary
Happy 50 years to my Grandparents! For their golden anniversary, I incorporated gold accents for the table, cake and the expresso-cup party favours. I will post the how to for these lovely gems at a later date.
Themed Party : 25 Year Anniversary
Happy 25th Anniversary to my parents! In celebration, I threw my parents a 25th anniversary party. Add some silver accents, roses and a personal touch. I found pictures of my parents at their wedding: my dad dancing with my grandma and my mom dancing with my grandfather and blew them up a tribute.
Themed Party : Masks
I've always wanted to throw a masquerade, so instead of throwing a full masquerade party, I took inspiration and had a mini masked party, Mardi Gras inspired. Purples, teals, yellows and pinks inspired the decor.

- Jewels/beads/sequins
Decide on the style you are looking for and let your imagination take off.
Themed Party : Home Spa Day
I love the spa! But the spa doesn't love my wallet. For a relaxing night in, I had the girls come over and set the mood, by bringing the spa to us! Candles, music, mini water fountains, plants, facial masks, nail polish, bath salts and foot baths. Oh and wine of course! Fun, relaxing and great company. Recipe for a fantastic night.
Themed Party : SATC
One of my favourite shows was SATC. There was something empowering about those women. So of course, it came time to throw my own Sex and the City inspired girls night; cosmos, snacks, and as girlie as I could think of! In order to really run with this theme, I utilized mini martini glasses as bowls for strawberries, large martini glasses for snacks, brought in pink flowers, garland, feathers, mini heels for the table decor, beads, pearls, and pink and black take out containers to hold other goodies. By as well, in centre, a picture framed with my and my girls. Love you guys!
Themed Party : Moulin Rouge
Themed Party : Murder Mystery at the Casino
The recipe for a "killer" party is setting the mood! Whenever I start planning a party, I think, what will be the 'wow' factor. Many times the result comes to one main thing, creating the right atmosphere. If you plan on hosting your own Murder Mystery party, spend the time to do research on the setting, find the right decor, the right foods and entertainment. These are key factors to help your guests relax and jump into character.
My murder mystery party was staged at a casino. So my first thought was to set up tables, create a black jack area for the dealer, create signs, glitter, music and appetizers to host the event. All of this on a budget. You will be amazed at the fun things you can find at your local dollar store or party store. It paid off. The suspect was caught! Fun and laughter was had by all, including creating a memorable event.
