Parisian Party

It seems a bit frivolous to write about a Parisian party at a time when the world is battling COVID-19, but I guess we all need a few distractions to get us through this time.

I’ll write about all the party details in my next post, but today I’m sharing the details of the invitations. I really wanted to have a cooking party and Harriet was set on a French theme, so I decided to combine the two to have a French patisserie party.

I used this tutorial to make the whisks pictured. For the written invitation I used some photocopies from Harriet’s picture books about Paris and glued them onto shipping tags with some stickers and embellishments I had left over from my brief flirtation with scrapbooking. I was really happy with the way they turned out and the kids loved them too!

Hope is really important in tough times like we’re experiencing at the moment. The Psalms are really comforting to read in times of trouble.  Praying Psalm 91 over my family at the moment:

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Breakfast Party Invitations

I accidentally omitted the invitation details from my last blog post about Portia’s Breakfast Party, so here they are!

I really wanted to do something creative for the invite, with little individual boxes of cereal (with a decorated luggage label attached with the party details on it).  However, believe it or not, the boxes were discontinued and replaced with packets only four months prior to the party! I couldn’t find them anywhere for love or money.

So, instead of using the boxes, Portia created an invite on her iPad, which we placed in an envelope with the cereal packet tied on top with some bakers twine. We topped it off with a bamboo spoon inserted through a doughnut printable from Oh Happy Day. The girls loved them – easy, but cute!
