I also used recycled Starbucks Frappuccino bottles as milk bottles for those who didn’t want alcohol.įor dessert, I made a chocolate cake filled with peanut butter buttercream topped with vanilla bean buttercream garnished with edible gold flecks. I served the mimosas in champagne flutes with matching paper straws from S&T Boutique. And finally… cake and cupcakes!Īnd what’s brunch without mimosas? Orange juice plus bubbly champagne topped with fresh berries were the perfect addition to my brunch. An asparagus bacon quiche, a Southwestern fajita quiche, a yogurt bar using cute paper bowls from Bake it Pretty, blueberry muffins baked in Sweets & Treats Boutique Bake Bright liners, fruit salad along with apples and peanut butter dip. Since this was a Sunday brunch party, I served food that I could make ahead of time. Tulips were in season, so I bought enough of them to fill every painted mason jar I owned plus a big bouquet as the centerpiece of my table. I included fresh flowers every where I could. Love Garlands did an amazing job capturing the colors of my party!ĮXCLUSIVELY for JavaCupcake readers, Love Garlands is offering 15% off your next order using the code JAVACUPCAKE! I wanted the party to feel light, fresh and full of color! I hung custom made tissue paper garland on the wall above the buffet and used a second garland on the table center piece. The color theme of the party was mint/aqua with gold, peach and white/cream. The mini chalk boards came in a 6 pack and were originally on a long skewer, but I popped those off so they could be displayed with my glitter clothes pins. Once my friends arrived at the party, I had them find their name on a mini chalk board, pick up a DIY glitter clothespin and display their favorite thing on one of the trays I laid out around my living room. The possibilities are endless, just encourage your friends to stay in the budget and think outside the box! Other ideas include 5 of your favorite lipstick, 5 of your favorite book, 5 potted plants, 5 coffee mugs or even 5 Starbucks gift cards. I ordered these super cute invitations from Tiny Prints which matched my gold color theme perfectly for this party! For example, I brought 5 painted mason jars filled with flowers. They should bring 5 of the same thing with a value of $5-10 each item. First, you invite a group of your favorite people over for brunch or maybe dinner and ask them to bring 5 of their favorite things to share with the party. If you’re not familiar with the concept of a MFTP, let me break it down for you. It looked like such a fun time, I wanted to throw one myself! To celebrate the ladies that have made my life here special and who have become my Army Family I threw them a “My Favorite Things Party”! I originally got the idea for this party from my sweet friend Jenny Kelly of jenny cookies who hosted a MFTP in 2014. I’ve been living in Germany for the last 4 1/2 years and my time here is sadly coming to an end. Spoil your best friends with a party filled with your favorite things by hosting a My Favorite Things Party!
