November is the month of Movember - all in aid of raising awareness for male cancers such as testicular & prostate cancer.
Moustaches; therefore seemed only fitting for my Bookless Club theme. I was even more excited when I found pink Moustaches - whoop whoop!
Bought from Big Blue - they didn't stick very well though! |
Now before you think, "What a miserable lot" - we couldn't smile because the darn things kept falling off.
I downloaded a template of a moustache and cut it out in various sizes to stick on the napkin ring...
I printed a few moustache images onto paper, photo-shopped a few in pink and used it for an extra decorative theme under the plates.
I also found a cute image which I printed and cut out into a square and stuck with some tape onto my coasters (top right of the photo above)

I had pretty much left all arrangements until the day before the event, so i had to come up with some quick & easy designs to implement.

To finish the theme off...
I had painted my nails with the little moustache (my post here)
Dessert was store bought Lamingtons which I had planned on cutting into a little moustache shape - but never got around to doing.
Would have been a nice touch - perhaps next time I won't leave it until the last possible moment!

For the "manly" theme I had wanted to do male-inspired food such as beer (Savannah) and Burgers. But after I found the pretty pink moustaches, I settled on:
- Crumbed Chicken Breast on a Portuguese roll with cranberry sauce, Camembert cheese and rocket
- For Tee (the pescatarian): Fishcakes on a Portuguese roll with a home-made Sweet Chilli Mayo mixed with lemon juice and black pepper.
...with a side of Sweet Potato Chips
