New Years Eve DIY Party Bags
With the new year here, how did you spend the last day of 2011?
We created these personalised party bags for our New Years celebration. First we started with simple brown paper bags which we printed guest details along with the evenings party menu. As they are bags we stuffed them with party horns, beads, party poppers, funny glasses and some chocolate of course! All sealed with a shaped paperclip – cute huh! (My favourite is the pink engagement ring clip)
These are simple for you to DIY at home, and not just for new years eve! These are great for kids parties as take home goody bags or use them as place settings.
Set up your wording in Word or your favourite program and print! When you feed the bag through your printer, make sure that you feed it bottom first to stop it from becoming jammed or eating your paper bag. Not all printers will take the thickness of the bag so if yours doesn’t just print onto another piece of paper and stick it on for a similar look! – Enjoy x

The next look is perfect for a garden or outdoor wedding, bridal shower, or even just a gorgeous luncheon. Use some old flower pots or pick some up from your local hardware or garden centre, add herbs or flowers for an instant centrepiece. Lavender was added here giving a touch more colour to the table. When selecting your herbs for your centrepiece, think about what food you will be serving and complement the flavours. This makes the centrepieces not only look gorgeous but they become functional too!

If you are having a vintage style wedding or soiree collect some old tins (check your local second hand store or ebay for some bargains) Add your favourite in season flowers using groups of colour and you have an instant fun and interesting centrepiece! For a different look, use standard silver coloured tins in a range of sizes.
