Mother's Day Garden Tea Party/Picnic in The Secret Garden

This was a quiet private picnic for Mother’s Day with my family in The Secret Garden.

My heart is so full after a great Mother's Day with family.

I started with an inspiration to use some pieces from both of my daughter’s weddings, then added special heirlooms like vintage tea and coffee servers, tea cups, driftwood from the beach, greenery and flowers from my garden, and even added some whimsical items like the “drink me” sign. Made homemade cookies from my mom’s recipe (which is so easy with cake mix), tried a new egg casserole which was delicious and then added some bagels, muffins, fruit and made tea sandwiches, even healthy snacks and then to finish with the dessert. We had a mimosa bar and lemon water.

The teepee tent was added for my grand daughter and she loved it.

We can plan your next picnic or event

Baby Shower, Bridal Party, Bachelorette Party, Friends Gathering, Date Night, Family Day,, or just because

Redlands High School 40th Year Class Reunion

Wow, can you believe it’s been 40 years since high school? Well, I had the honor of planning my own high school reunion in CA and what a fantastic night it was for 100 classmates and significant others.

We decided on a movie theater Look Theater and rented out the bar and a theater to accommodate our group.

We did take over the bar and theater, but they were great to work with and even allowed us to show the bar down.

We took care of registration, venue sourcing, food and beverage and decor.

We honored our classmates who have passed on. A sad list but we have good memories and will miss them.

Here's the Scoop Baby Shower

I can't take all the credit for this baby shower as it was the mother's idea. I just helped her with the setup and provided my home and a few props.

She had her own ideas of theme, menu, and most of the details were set. It was a special day since this was for my daughter. Baby #2 is coming in August.

We had a nice lunch and ice cream bar, which was a huge hit.

Friends and family were included to make this a special memory.

Beach Baby Boy Shower for Ryan

This was a fun baby shower for a baby boy. Mom (Ashley) wanted a beach theme for her baby boy. Homemade food made it special for the party. I worked with Deborah (Ashley’s mom) to bring this party to life. Deborah made a handmade diaper cake and diaper cupcakes. We hung the baby clothes around the fire place and above their picture shelf. We played a few baby shower games.

Deborah tasked me with decorating this Octopus. What was I supposed to do with an Octopus? Well, I gave it 8 baby bottles with blue milk (water and blue die) and embellished with waves, turtles, starfish, and shells.

How can we bring your baby shower to life? We LOVE themes and can do just about anything.

Felicia's 50th Birthday Party

A beautiful Carolina Blue Picnic on the beach to celebrate a special day for Felicia's 50th birthday. She wanted a beach picnic to celebrate with her special friends and a charcuterie board to go with the fun theme. All blue and it had to be Carolina Blue.

Kellie from Boards and Moore called me to help her with this and she created a wonderful spread like she always does. She is the bomb! They enjoyed all of her tasty goodies.

Baby Shower with a few fun ideas

How about a couples Baby Shower? Some people might say “No”, but this couple wanted a Fun Baby Shower with Family and Friends. They don’t know what they are having so there will be lots of surprises for them come November 9.

Started off with some yummy food by A Nibble and a Bite with their famous Chicken Salad croissants, Cheese “Sammies”, Ham and Cheese “Sammies”, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Smoked Wings, Meatballs, and we topped it off with Deborah’s Broccoli Salad and Kyle’s Oatmeal Scotties for dessert. A delicious meal!!!

Then we headed outside to have a Baby Bottle Chugging Contest. Everyone participated with whatever they were drinking and then we put Ashley and Kyle to the test with how well they can change their baby’s diapers and the twist was they were blindfolded. After that, everyone got to see how close they guessed on how big Ashley’s belly is. 2 men were the closest. Finished up with a candy game and needless to say Ashley and Kyle didn’t do so well.

A Fun Time by all. Games, decorations by Main Stream Events and PR Firm!
