Saturday was exactly 1 year since we've been engaged and my parents threw an e-party at my house. My mom cooked all the food & I did the decorations. The weather was gorgeous but a bit hot & luckily one of FH's groomsmen lent us some tents for our backyard. Everything went really well.. just a few mishaps during the day like forgetting to anchor down the table cloths so one of my table decorations flew away and my nephew hugged me good bye by but stepped on my toe and I was bleeding all over. Otherwise everything was GREAT!
Here's some pics:
Hand stamped banner that read 'Happy Engagement Mickey & Kimberly' I didn't think anyone would notice that I put his name first by accident and was too lazy to restring everything but everyone noticed.
Our DIY cookie favors & tags.
The tents with DIY hanging pom poms & flower napkins. (Idea from Martha Stewart)
DIY Napkins & utensils wrapped with a flower.
Me with one of the twins. She loved my flowers napkins.
Table shot with my girls
