Celebration Inspiration: Mr. Man Party!

Christina, from the blog Full House, threw a very neat party to celebrate the 2nd birthday of her triplets! Since all little boys have one goal in life: to grow up and be big boys!, Christina took the idea and ran with it, creating this adorable Mr. Man celebration.

Chocolate lollipop mustaches proved to be a hit with all, and outfits made by Grandma – complete with mini ties (made from Dad’s old ties) – made the boys feel like Mr. Men. A clothesline displaying an assortment of ties and baby pictures adorned the yard in a creative spin on party flags.

Cool Idea for All of the Crafty Entertainers Out There!

I don’t know about you but I have a few of these folding chairs lying around… ready for guests and parties and everything else that comes our way (actually, now that I think of it, I should really get some more!). When I saw this Before & After from Apartment Therapy, I knew it would resonate with hostesses and DIY decorators alike.

You could always purchase these beautiful Anthropologie folding chairs (at $200 each, see below) to get an equally bohemian and modern look, or you could invest in a few neat fabric remnants, a bit of cushion foam and a staple gun… and have at your own collection! Guests will wow over your results and love the comfy cushions.
