Just google it!</p> <p>Also, babies breath in milk glass or mason jars would be so pretty. (On top of the doilies on top of the burlap table runners)</p> <p>-you could do a bunting banner with paper doilies (dollar store) and twine.<br /> -Tissue poms in creams and white and maybe a<br /> Soft pink or blush?<br /> -you could make "doilie lanterns" where you paper mache a doilie over a balloon, let it dry overnight and then pop the balloon.</p> <p>As far as food, we are doing different kinds of kabobs *as well as pizza* to keep it simple. They look really pretty on a nice platter or fancy cake plate.<br /> Fruit kabob (strawberries, pineapple, melon)<br /> Veggie kabob (peppers, cucumbers, carrots)<br /> Cheese kabob (different kinds of fancy cheeses) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-party#post-752779 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:44:59 +0000 regberadaisy 752779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buy doilies on eBay!

I have no idea how to do them... :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-party#post-751673 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:09:57 +0000 loveisstrange 751673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It reminds me of Charlotte's birthday! lol. We did burlap and doilies and lace and twine too. Why not make some of the tissue paper poms? Just a few of them make a big impact and they're not too expensive to make.</p> <p>I also made baked brie bites and they were a MASSIVE hit. I got requests to make them when DHs shop had a party last week. Ive made them with the phyllo and with puff pastry and I liked the puff pastry better. </p> <p><a href="http://www.plainchicken.com/2011/09/ile-de-france-cheese-baked-brie-bites.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.plainchicken.com/2011/09/ile-de-france-cheese-baked-brie-bites.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-party#post-751666 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:30:27 +0000 Arden 751666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, food ideas include:<br /> - Caprese salad bites<br /> - Sweet potato fries<br /> - Hummus with pita chips<br /> - Baked parmesan tomatoes<br /> - Breaded and fried green beans<br /> - Quinoa salad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-plan-a-party#post-751665 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:24:31 +0000 Arden 751665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning a "Meet the Baby" party after her dedication, a couple of weeks from now. We're on a very tight budget, but I want to make it really special.</p> <p>It's going to be held on the covered patio at my grandparents house, which overlooks a lake. It will be a small party (maybe 15-20 guests?) and I want to serve a large appetizer selection.</p> <p>The "theme" if you can call it that, is sweet girlyness. :D I'm using a lot of doilies and baby's breath.<br /> Here are my inspiration photos - </p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24kw.449x600.0cf4deafb49018cf3c31847e6160e97c.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24ky.435x600.4b0221893199274d9297cab5804f0dce.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24kz.400x600.5eedeff7424f2809ce1638127b67deac.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24l1.400x600.64a6bd03b7c98f4d541e661c459f7a0a.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24l2.400x600.b7b618ed8784c14b1abd301e518b9b61.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24l4.399x600.b47d32546b61cc015a401382ec548c77.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24l5.600x600.ca1ddb3a0b8201982ea0f32a7c5e32ab.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24l7.400x600.cb870fc16b6dfafc31741caca5c7d73c.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/13/mm24l8.449x600.f03eceed0589aabb15ad04bf20a8d100.jpg]</p> <p>So here is what I need from you guys!</p> <p>1. More decor ideas, that can be done on the cheap!<br /> 2. Appetizer ideas that are vegetarian. Everyone that's coming (almost) is vegetarian. </p>
