Fabric Backdrop

I think I may have finally figured out a way to hang a fabric backdrop behind the head table. After searching and searching online, I discovered that using PVC pipes can do the job. I suppose I can always use this set-up for future parties as well. I am no handyman, but I'll check out Home Depot and see how "easy" this can be.

Here are some instructions on setting one up.

Pink and White Striped Background

For the past couple of weeks, I've been going back and forth in my head on whether to put up a pink and white striped or plain light pink fabric piece behind the head table at my daughter's birthday party. After seeing Amy Atlas' blog, she has now convinced me to definitely go for the striped version. It would match my invitation design anyway.

I'm also planning to put up paper bunting banners reading, "Happy Birthday" and "Madeline". I have so much to do!

Striped Paper Straws

I need an excuse to use these pink and white striped paper straws and they add a great vintage feel to any party! Oh, how I love the vintage look!

Project Wedding shows a cute way of using these straws. It's a good thing BevMo is in my area! I'm going to have to check them out and see what the costs are.

Update - I found some pricing information on straws that Peach and Pearl did. There's a contact on there that tells you where to buy these straws at a reasonable price!
