White Party

After watching the Beverly Hills housewives I decided it was time to have a white party. It might not be as expensive as Kyle Richards but I am sure it was really fun. I have had two so far and I am sure more will come!

Top 10 "MUST HAVES" for a White Party

1. Invitations - We live in Missouri so September is still hot and we have the parties outside. 

Plan a date that is averaged to be between 70-80 degrees if outside.

2. Make sure everyone wears white!

3. Have plenty of food - We had a Sushi Boat 

4. Hire extra help to pick up beer bottles, empty cups and plates so you can enjoy the night.

This is a couple of my sons friends that wanted some extra money on a Saturday night.

5.  Hire a bartender so you don't have to worry about 

keeping everyones drinks fresh

6. A Dj for music

7. Plenty of dancing guests

8. A professional photographer to capture it all

(Me and my husband Scott, right before the festivities began)

9. Nice ambiance/lighting

10. And some entertainment!

Hula Hoop dancers will do the trick!

  Most of all just have a good time and make it a memorable night!

Our youngest son played football through high school and was his life. I thought it would be fun to throw him a football themed Graduation party - Turned out awesome!!

Step 1:  Spray paint field - lay it out first on paper so everything is measured correctly - I just used white yard paint from lows. It took about 6 cans total.

Step 2: Make bobble heads with dowels from Michaels, printer from my office and a couple of pictures of graduating child.

I made different sizes so everyone could join in the fun

I am sure I have officially lost my "type A" marbles. My trash cans were getting old and used so I decided to do a makeover.

At the curb... I think it is actually pretty awesome/funny!
