Shabby Chic Tea Birthday Party

Posted on by sarominspired

With Vera’s 3rd birthday being just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share memories from her Shabby Chic Tea First Birthday Party! I still haven’t picked out a theme for her party this year and I can’t believe my littlest one is no longer a baby!

The little details:

  • DIY fabric garland banner: select your favorite assortments of fabric and have them cut to half a yard. Cut strips of each fabric, tie them onto a long string of jute until you achieve the desired look
  • DIY Name: I purchase the heavy duty burlap cardstock from Hobby Lobby and I ordered DIY letter templates to stencil the letters with paint
  • DIY Photo Booth
  • DIY triangle and round garlands: get triangle and circle punches and start punching until your hands are numb
  • DIY scalloped doily garland: Made with paper doilies by folding then in half, glue the ends together but leave the folded section unglued so that jute can be inserted and the halved doilies can be adjustable along the jute
  • DIY pom poms
  • DIY floral mason jar tags
  • DIY favor bags topped doilies
  • DIY balloon tassels and high chair fringe garland: Made from plastic table clothes so they would be lightweight!
  • DIY vase décor: get threads of coordinating colors to wrap around the neck of vases for delicate details
  • DIY heart shaped cupcake toppers and donut hole inserts
  • Downloadable Shabby Chic Photo Booth Props were purchased on Etsy
  • Downloadable Shabby Chic Water Bottle Labels
  • Rose Shabby Chic Scalloped Banner was purchased on Etsy
  • Cake was made by Maria Carlo of Doux House! Delicious!

 

Mrs. Texas United States 2016 Photo Shoot Part II

Posted on by sarominspired

How neat is this!? My first autographed momentum for SAROM INspired!  A sweet thank you for the setups at the photo shoot from Mrs. Texas United States 2016, Raquel Fatiuk! She is dedicated to stopping “victim blaming” in sexual assault through her campaign, Shift The Blame. Join the movement at ShiftTheBlame.org.

As promised, here are the professional photos from J Sherman Photography.

The details

Glenn and Debbie Rodkey of Piece By Piece  gave me the creative freedom to visit their shop & hand select any items I wanted to use for the photo shoot! This vintage shop is located at 7246 Masters Rd in Manvel Texas. If you see any items you like in the photos, they are available for purchase! The vibrant green arm chair and vintage dresser is made of tiger wood and both are over 200 years old! And the truck is fully operational!

Family Friendly NYE Bash

Posted on by sarominspired

We decided not to host a NYE party this year because we are participating in a New Years Day run the next morning. But last year we hosted a last minute family friendly NYE bash for a few friends. Here are a few ideas for a fun party that caters to the adults and kids.

  • Who doesn’t love a balloon drop! The balloon bag was purchased on Amazon.
  • The kids had a coloring station where they could color their own NYE hat. The template can be downloaded here. Print the file on cardstock for a sturdier hat.
  • We made kid friendly jello shots so the kiddos could be included when the adults took theirs. Make sure to label which ones are for adults and kids!
  • The downloadable and build your own Photo Booth Props were purchased on Etsy.
  • We used the Netflix New Year Eve’s countdown so that we had a kid friendly countdown at 9pm. Therefore, most of the kids were asleep by midnight for the adult’s regular countdown.

Here’s to saying goodbye to 2016 and cheers to 2017! Happy New Year to all!
