i threw a little get-together, or “going away party”, if you will, the weekend before my trip to Italy began.
i came up with a teal/light pink color scheme and went from there. here are my online party finds! i purchased all of my supplies online (which ended up being cheaper than browsing countless stores!). The Bakers Confections had the perfect colors I needed, Modern Lola (a children’s store) has an adorable party section & for all the basics a chain like Party City is ideal.
With a little arranging on the new buffet table, a tissue flower (cut circles of nesting sizes, secured in the center and crunched) & crepe paper (folded many times lengthwise and with short snips on either side and crunched for dimension), it’s time to party!

I like the framed saying on the buffet table. Do you happen to know where you got it?
Nicole, I saw the phrase on Pinterest and created it myself in Adobe Illustrator.
