5 IDEAS FOR UNIQUE PLACE CARDS/FAVOURS

When planning a tablescape there are many items to think about including place cards/name cards around the table. Instead of the typical paper place cards that normally show up at table settings, I have rounded up a few different ideas for your next gathering. Bonus points – they all double as cute favours for your guests to take home with them! Just personalize them slightly and they are ready to go for your next party!

1. Mini Candle

My first suggestion is a mini sized candle that you can theme to your party! Having a summer luau theme – pineapple breeze scent is the way to go! Bundled up around a cozy fire at Christmas time – twisted peppermint is my jam. I think you get the point – there are SO many different flavours that you can customize them for your specific gathering. Also you do not necessarily have to have the same scents for each guest – there are so many fun options out there that work well together. I’m assuming you are not pairing together tobacco smell with lavender lilacs and hot chocolate rum cake scent ha! Stick to one grouping and you will do great! Once you have your selected candles, the final step is to customize them with a first initial (or first and last depending on the group) of the people attending the party. I got these gold monogram letters as a gift for Christmas but they originally came from Michaels and can also be purchased at other craft stores.

BUILD YOUR OWN CAESAR COCKTAIL BAR

One of my favorite tips when hosting a party is to have an area where guests can entertain themselves. This could be a photo booth backdrop area or “make your own” activity which allows some entertainment for guests while you put together the last minute touches on your food items.

With a fun suggestion from my sister Patrycja, we decided to spice up our last get together and create a “build your own” Caesar cocktail bar! I always have so much fun putting these types of things together because the possibilities are endless and your imagination can run wild.

VALENTINE’S NIGHT WITH THE GIRLS

I love me a kick-ass girl’s day but it definitely does not happen enough! I feel like February is the perfect time to plan a day together, whether it consists of hosting a Galentine’s Day party or just gathering on the couch for one epic V-Day night. Don’t stress if you cannot do it near the 14th  – anytime throughout the month will work! If it’s after the 14th you get the bonus of discounted candy/chocolate – hint hint. Having everyone together is always so much fun therefore whenever you can make this happen is great!
