Our very merry cocktail party is coming up quickly.  I’m excited to be working with Georges Duboeuf and One2One Network on this sponsored post. This year we are including a lovely little Beaujolais bar with Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau. It was easy to put together the Beaujolais bar since the bottle is filled with fun and festive colors to play [...]

My sweet boy is 3!

By Jessica On April 28, 2014 · 10 Comments · In baby, Event styling, family, fancy host
It feels like I was just introducing you all to our brand new bundle of joy. And somehow, he is three today! Three whole years have gone by and yet it feels like just yesterday. At the same time, I don’t even remember life before him, before he made us a family. Happy happy birthday [...]

Inspiration to reality: Pink, gold and hearts party

By Jessica On September 16, 2013 · 17 Comments · In DIY, Event styling, fancy host, free printables
Hello! It’s Tiffany stopping by today. I am a party planner at heart. I’m not a professional (yet), but I love the process and learn something new with every shindig I throw. I live, breathe, and think “party!” It’s a sickness. I’ve started to wonder whether it’s helpful or annoying that once a friend tells me [...]

DIY party backdrop series begins now!

By Jessica On January 7, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Backdrops, DIY, Event styling, fancy host, fancy party tips
When asked about event planning tips, I always say that my one tip for any party is to create a backdrop. It can be used for the food table, beverages, dessert or even the party favor table. It doesn’t matter where it goes, what you do or how much it costs, it always pulls things together [...]

Very merry cocktail party

By Jessica On December 28, 2012 · 3 Comments · In DIY, Event styling, fancy host, fancy party tips, happy hosting
The party was so much fun. But, because the fun started almost immediately, I hardly got any good photos of anything. It was also very dark, so getting sharp focus was tough. I remembered to grab my camera, but it was after guests arrived, so things were already moved around a bit-this is a good [...]

  We hosted 22 people for Christmas. The day was filled with fun, laughter, love, joy and way too much food!

Simple syrups for our champagne bar

By Jessica On December 11, 2012 · Add Comment · In DIY, Event styling, fancy host, fancy party tips, Food, happy hosting
I LOVE hosting a champagne or bubbly bar at our parties. Most guests really enjoy it and I definitely do! I’ve done fresh fruit purees in the past and added them to the sparkling wine. It tastes great but has two negatives. The first is that getting the glasses clean after events is impossible. Second, the bubbly [...]
