The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the sun is shining. Spring is in full force, and we can’t get enough of it! To celebrate the season, we thought we’d bring you some party inspiration perfect for spring and early summer gatherings. Check out our four favorites below!

BRUNCH IT UP

• 

• 

Calling all our brunch lovers- This party is for you!

To set this table we used pretty shades of pink, gold accents, and of course our “Bitches Love Brunch” and egg napkins. It wouldn’t be a brunch without food or drinks, so we served up a little chocolate fondue, fresh fruit, champagne and juice and some pastries. We used a fresh floral bouquet as the centerpiece and placed everything on a light pink crepe runner. Set this party up indoors or outdoors and enjoy a mimosa or two!

TEA TIME

• 

• 

We’re buzzing like a bee over this party! 

This table is set with pastel colors, pink and gold foil details, and mismatched place settings for a fun spring gathering. We used paper fans as a backdrop, a beautifully decorated cake as the centerpiece and fresh florals and greenery down the table. To top it all off we served up petit fours, fresh fruit and of course, champagne! Host an afternoon tea or a picnic with this party theme.

ON THE FARM

• 

• 

This party gives us all the farm feelings and makes us want to party until the cows come home!

To set this table we went with a chic gingham table-runner, which paired well with our black and white gingham dinner plates. We also added apple shaped plates and farm printed napkins to bring the farm theme to life. For table decor we used fresh florals, plants, honeycombs and a basket of eggs. Don’t worry, no eggs were harmed in the making of this party! As an activity, let the kids have fun with our farm themed temporary tattoos and stickers. They can decorate the eggs or on themselves. Host this free ranged celebration indoors or outdoors, and let the kids enjoy an afternoon of fun and friends!

FLUTTER AWAY

• 

• 

A party guaranteed to make your heart flutter!

This table is set with dreamy pastel colors and the sweetest little details. For the place settings we used pink and gold foils, die-cut butterfly plates and lilac accents. As a backdrop we built a balloon garland and placed butterfly dinner plates in it to give the illusion that they’re fluttering! To finish, we kept the centerpieces simple with two floral arrangements and a vase filled with pink feathers. This collection is perfect for spring celebrations with all the little butterflies in your life!

When we heard about Belle Isle’s new Lemon Lavender Moonshine, we knew we wanted to incorporate it into a drink and with its beautiful lilac color, we knew it’d be perfect for Mother’s Day!

Enjoy this spritz on the front porch after Mother’s Day brunch; the lemon and lavender bring a bright citrus and herbal flavor, while the bubbles make it an ideal post-meal sipper.

• Lilac You Lots 12oz Cups, Guest Napkins, and Dinner Plates
• Mint To Be Chargers
• Chill Out Cocktail Napkins
• White & Gold Gatz Dessert Plates
• Gold & White Striped Cocktail Napkins

Cinco de Mayo is a month away!?

Have no fear, the Jollity Girls are bringing you the perfect fiesta inspo, so you can throw the best taco party! We also created lime slice tequila Jell-O shots that will be an instant favorite. Check out the recipe below and fiesta like there’s no manaña!

We really wanted to make this table as bright and colorful as possible for this Cinco de Mayo celebration! So, to set this table we chose our Pink Dinner Plates, Pink Guest Napkins, and Chartreuse Guest Napkins from our Enchanté Collection and our Posh Buoy Bye Dessert Plates. We also wanted to add in a pop of gold and used our Posh Gold to Go Chargers. To finish the look off we used our Avocado Canapé Plates from our Fiesta Collection.

For decorating the table, we grabbed cactus and sombrero themed items, colorful fringe and honeycombs, and we added a fresh touch with a beautiful floral arrangement. Have some fun setting your own table and don’t be afraid to use things you already have at home. The more colorful, the better!

LIME SLICE TEQUILA JELL-O SHOTS

• 

• 

We love these Jell-O shots because they match so well with the table and decor, not to mention they’re delicious. At first glance they look like normal lime slices, but your guests will be delighted to realize that they are actually shooters!

YOU WILL NEED:

• 6 Limes
• 1 Box of Lime or Lemon Jell-O
• 1 Cup Boiling Water
• 1 Cup Tequila
• Sea Salt (or sugar if you prefer sweetness!)
• Muffin Tin

STEP 1:

Cut limes end to end and juice them. Then use a towel to pull the pulp out of the lime halves and discard the pulp.

STEP 2:

Mix Jell-O with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved, then add 1 cup tequila and mix well.

STEP 3:

Place lime halves in muffin tin for support, then carefully pour Jell-O into the halves. They should look like tiny little bowls.

STEP 4:

Refrigerate 2-4 hours until set, use a sharp knife to cut into slices, then sprinkle salt or sugar as the final touch.

STEP 5:

Enjoy!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, we created a fun DIY craft for the special people in your life! We used cocktail napkins from our Stuck On You collection and Mod Podge to decorate the cutest gift baskets.

Find the supplies needed and step-by-step instructions below!

YOU WILL NEED:

• Mod Podge
• Foam Brushes
• “XOXO” Cocktail Napkins
• Lip Cocktail Napkins
• Metal bucket (can be found at craft stores, like this one here)
• Scissors

STEP 1

Begin by unfolding the “XOXO” Cocktail Napkins and Lip Cocktail Napkins. Then, cut the Lip Cocktail Napkins so that only the Lip design is left, discard the white portion. Next, paint the bucket with Mod Podge.

STEP 2

Apply the “XOXO” Cocktail Napkins to the bucket, trimming off any extra that hangs over the edges. Smooth out the napkins so that no crinkles are present. Let it dry for 10-15 minutes.

STEP 3

Apply Mod Podge to the back of the Lip Cocktail Napkins and place them on top of the “XOXO” layer. Smooth each one out as you apply to ensure there are no wrinkles. Let dry for 10-15 minutes.

STEP 4

If needed, apply another layer of Mod Podge to the napkins! It is not necessary, but will preserve the design should you want to reuse it next year. Or, you can remove the napkins and decorate it for another occasion using the same method and different themed napkins.

We decided to fill this basket with lots of fun party supplies, accessories, yummy drinks, and a little something to help that “you are an adult now” next day hangover. 😂
