{Bookless Club} Breakfast at Tiffany's



What a gorgeous day for Champagne & OJ
I don't entertain nearly enough as what I should.

I debated for hours over the perfect table and chairs and now I never seem to be home in order to entertain!

Luckily with Bookless Club taking place every 6 weeks, I know I will entertain on every 3rd rotation.

The girls go all out with themes (it used to be simple things like "Feather Boas"or "Comfortable Shoes") and they have been inadvertently been challenging me to Up My Game.
The purpose of having a theme is to get us to think creatively and use what we have without buying costumes or props if we can help it.
So far, we have all managed to do a really good job!

This is a theme I have wanted to do for a while and as per usual, I remembered on a Friday afternoon and scrambled to prepare (what can I say - I work well under pressure)

The theme for this event was Breakfast at Tiffany's

I had ordered cupcakes to be baked especially for the event from The Cupcake Boutique. Usually delicious, I was let down by the taste.
At least they looked pretty!
Special Order
I printed some cute props to use for photos and used a kebab stick as a handle.
Surprisingly, the girls didn't complain too much for photos! Our biggest challenge was remembering to smile behind the glasses!

Faking it with Prop Sunglasses
Now we know how to smile!
Once again my grandmother's possessions came in very handy, I wish she were around to see how many times I use he stuff for events & decor. (Pearls in the foreground and a diamante bracelet I was wearing)

Table Decor
Tips and Tricks:

  1. Never throw items away that could be used to decorate a table. Something small like a feather boa can take your table from ordinary to extra-ordinary.
  2. Linen napkins immediately improve the classiness of an event- Mr Price Home have a beautiful and very affordable range
  3. Using easy printable and a bit of tape and imagination will save you a lot of money.
