2 Cent Tuesday: Invitation Woes

Do you have any design dilemma's, customer quandaries, catering conundrums, or event horror stories, or just simple event questions you've had to handle!? We'd love to hear about them, because we have them too! Share them with us and let us know how you handled it!  Or share your 2 cents on the situations presented on Fete Fanatic.  I'm sure your advice will be greatly appreciated by the readers! 


Tuesday's Topic: Invitations

Predicament: You are having a celebration (wedding, party, shower etc.) and some guests informed you prior to receiving an invitation that they would be unable to attend. Do you still send them an invitation?  What's your 2 cents?  Would you do?

My 2 cents: I would still send an invitation.  It shows that though you understand they will not make it, you still would love for them to be in attendance. Plus you just never know.. their situation may change.
Want to share your experiences, or hear others' 2 cents on a topic?  Email me at www.theflairfactor@gmail.com with your experience or question. Please include the predicament, solution, lessons learned(if any) and your 2 Cents! Can't wait to hear from you!

Hot Pink & Paisley Dinner Party

I'm back with the first celebration of the new year.  This hot pink and paisley party was an intimate dinner in celebration of a 70th birthday.  Giving limited time to plan (one week..yikes) we had to pull it together with materials that were readily accessible.  With the holidays just coming to an end, I found this really pretty paisley wrapping paper as my inspiration and used it throughout the party.  Paisley prints are very classic, elegant and punched up with hot pink details .....ta-da.. it worked perfectly for this 70th dinner party celebration!

Wrapping paper turned paper fan decor

 Simple tablescape included lots of hot pink details and candles

I love the incredible ambiance candlelight gives to a space

Paisley paper was also used for the centerpieces

The cake also reflected our paisley theme

Sweet treats are a must 

Everyone went home with a cupcake!

You can also adapt this hot pink and paisley party into a sophisticated Valentines Day party!

Coming up for air...

I'm coming up for air with lots of goodies to share!!  

Looking forward to many splendid reasons to celebrate

 in the new year!
