Etiquette Party design

Well, it all started with a picture I found in the Mother's day issue of a magazine in the waiting room....


and suddenly, I needed it! I needed the vase, the plates, the rock candy! All of it!


I got none of it.

But isn't it pretty?


 This is THE BACKSIDE of mine ( my child-photographer makes me a little sad sometimes because she didn't get the pretty front display of the table......) but , points for intent regardless....


I spent the day making little booklets on Etiquette for the party, only to realize (gasp) that it's no longer 2010! (Did this party happen a year ago?) But the books were cute, the girls loved them, it kept them separate! haha






The girls made notecards to send out Thank-You's to someone special....a very important Etiquette Rule










And learned how to properly set a table and the rules for eating at a table (including cellphone usage!)


Look at that posture!









 We had one gentleman, perfectly outfitted for the evening!







And Imara won a prize for having the most stickers for the evening.
