Default The Party Planner

AsSalamu' Alaykum,

Wedding Parties, Graduation Parties, Henna Parties, Spa Parties, Baby Showers, Bridal Showers, Bachelor/ette Parties, Birthday Parties, 'Eid Parties, House Warming Parties, Anniversary Parties, Going Away Parties, Office Parties, Tea Parties, and any other reason you can think up of to throw a party for.

This is a thread dedicated to party etiquette to ideas from decorations to foods to planning and inviting...anything and everything relating to a party. Make sure to post lots of pictures.

Since I'm having my reception in the Fall, I'll concentrate my attention on reception party stuff n stuff.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of having a Candy Buffet. I'm doing one and it has already become my favorite part of the reception:









Since it'll be outdoors, I think giving out fans is great, not to mention considerate. Just today I saw that Pier 1 is selling cute ones for only a buckeroo a piece. Can't beat that.

It's a bit smaller than this but has a very similar design:


They have them as personalized wedding cakes but it'd be awesome to have them as place cards if you're doing assigned seating [which I'm not but I thought it was cute anyway]:


This is really cute! I might even do this for a few of my tables.
Delicate and airy, this centerpiece composed of single blossoms lets you make the most of a limited group of flowers. Showcase each one -- we used dahlias and garden roses -- in clear glass vessels, such as bud vases, jars, or even drinking glasses. To accentuate the arrangement, set the flowers on a runner whose hue contrasts with the color of the tablecloth.


Such a great idea for wedding favors.


Sugar Cookie Favor Cakes...


I wish I could have a wedding party every year.

We wanted to put small chocolate fondue sets on every table as center pieces. Plan didn't work out.

I didnt get to plan any of my wedding-related events and I love doing this stuff. I am hoping one of my friends gets married soon (not that likely) so I think I'll just throw myself a graduation party next year
