Dinner Party Favors

Just as things are starting to heat up in Hong Kong we are finally ready to start hosting. I mentioned my potential half birthday party, I’m co-hosting an art event this coming weekend, and I’m trying to get a dinner party on the calendar.

I’m not a huge pasta eater {I usually reserve it for nights we are tired and cold and don’t want to cook} but after seeing these adorable take aways, I’m really tempted to have an Italian night. Especially here, where sauce prices are higher due to import, people would adore and cherish a jar of homemade marinara.

A Gorgeous Dress for Life

I’m a big fan of commissioned art work to commemorate a day, or moment– or dress. My mom got us a gorgeous painting for our wedding day, and I recently had a piece done of the two of us for Christmas.

These beautiful, stylized paintings and sketches would be an awesome personalized gift for a bridal shower or wedding gift. I can imagine one hanging in a boudoir for many years to come.  Nice work, Diane Bronstein.

Entertaining Take-Away

Some of the best parts of having a party— a clean house, good company…and, if you are lucky, a hostess gift.

We recently moved into our apartment and are slowly making it ours {even while we wait for the rest of our items that were shipped to make it}. We got some nice, fluffy white towels and a sleek metal organizer for our rock rain shower, but were still using grocery store soap. It didn’t fit into our modern spa atmosphere. Thankfully, a gorgeous hand wash and lotion were in my future. 

These friends were right on with what we needed to warm our house and it was so kind of them to say thank you.

Free {Cute} Gift Tags!

Somehow I always down play the importance of gift tags until I start wrapping. Then I have this “oh crap” moment where I try to remember the contents as each box starts to look eerily similar.

If you are anything like me, have no fear! I have rounded up some of the cutest– and best yet– free printable gift tags for you. So all you have you do it is pull up this post, print and cut. All the better if you remember to print them on a full sheet sized label paper.

Find and print these labels: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Man-of-Honor Printables

Did you have a mixed gender wedding party? I did– one of my best guy friends was a bridesman {I was also in his wedding}, and my sister-in-law stood on my husband’s side as a groomswoman. With this being the modern way of the world, why should only the girls have all the fun? How about a cute way to ask the guys to be on your team? Using these free printables, gifts can be personalized {such as a roll of Rolos, drum sticks and moleskins here}, so boys can be a part of  the party fun. {via Well Groomed}

New Baby Gift

When one of my friends in NYC had a baby, I really wanted to bring over food. (I have Southern roots–food is the answer to celebrations and tragedies alike.) I wasn’t able to get it together to do it, and I still regret it. So I love this thoughtful box for dinner for the family with a new addition.
