Being 8, almost 9, months pregnant with my fifth child doesn't not make hosting parties easy. Anthony's birthday party was two Saturdays ago and Jacques' First Communion was this past Sunday, so I found myself looking for ways to decorate nicely, but with minimal effort on my part. Believe me I get winded very easily these days ;)
For Anthony's Transformer party, my printer was my best friend. I just googled Transformer images and printed them out. Of course the boys wanted to decorate so most of them ended up crooked ;) One very simple decoration that I love to make because it's quick and easy and looks fab are banners. Again the faces are just print outs.
For Jacques' communion dinner, it had to be a little more formal, but still look masculine. I decided on turquoise and brown, and bought little brown baskets to hold the dragées . I went to a party supply store and got table runners, napkins and some other little bits and bobs. Helen came over one day and we wrapped up the dragées. I ordered white flower bouquets to go in the bigger baskets I bought. Simple, quick and very elegant.
Cara -- that table decor is gorgeous! Better than anything Martha Stewart could have whipped out!
