DIY: party decorations








My sister Brooke just got her dream job right out of nursing school, so my sister Jen and I decided to throw her a quick surprise congratulations party :) Figured it was a good excuse to finally use my vintage punch bowl that I filled with sparkling raspberry lemonade. (ginger ale, lemonade, fresh pureed raspberries & sorbet)

I am even thrifty with party decor ;) I have so many old magazines that are taking over so I decided to use them! I just cut out triangles and strung them together with a needle and string. Plates, napkins and table cloth $1 each from the dollar store and a manger special flower bouquet for $2.50.

Enjoy the weekend! xoxo

  13. These photos are amazing. For every party decoration you must have enough space, so your friends and belongings can interact with each other.
