CHRISTMAS AT SANTA'S

The spirit of Christmas was brought to life by this couple who transformed their home into Santa's Workshop! Event designers, Fairy Godmother a Wedding & Event Company, incorporated everything we love about the holiday into this party. Guests were welcomed by Santa and Mrs. Claus, and entertained by glamorous carolers. Decorations included snow globes, trees, nutcrackers, and more! Guests could even visit with Santa's elves while they prepared party favors. I especially love the penguin and teddy bear lounging on a sheet of "ice" in the pool. Different food stations were prepared using grapes from the family's vineyard. It was certainly a night to be jolly!

A COZY CHRISTMAS TABLE

When you think of a cozy Christmas you might think of a fireplace by the tree, maybe eating cookies while sipping cocoa. Those kinds of references are made in this table designed by Arizona's Meant2Be Events. The soft gold tea lights, pinecones, tree napkins all help bring the traditional symbols of Christmas to make this table real cozy!

GIRL SCOUTS HOST ELF ON THE SHELF BREAKFAST

December 1 is Saturday and for many kids it's the day they welcome their Elf on the Shelf! It was also the theme for this special Girl Scouts breakfast.
For over 25 years the Riverside Community Girls Scouts in Harlem, NY host an annual Breakfast with Santa. This year, former Girl Scout, Marissa Flores of The Event Ninjas in partnership with Noirstyle Invites, gathered a group of colleagues and solicited help from the community to host the biggest Breakfast with Santa yet! The event included free breakfast, games, activities, a modern day Santa–and of course, those yummy Girl Scout cookies! I love how each table featured an elf in a different pose! The tree featured handmade ornaments created by the Scouts. The event served the community and helped Scouts earn their community service badges, while learning new skills from planning to hosting. There are so many cute ideas if you're hosting your own Elf on the Shelf party.

BABY SHOWER FILLED WITH WHITE PUMPKINS AND TEDDY BEARS!

Canadian event designers, Beaucoup D'Amour Events & Weddings, created a beautiful cottage-like interior to celebrate this Mama Bear's upcoming arrival. The rustic decor included wood rounds for plate chargers, mason jar foods and lots of greenery to bring the outdoors in. I really love the addition of mom and dad's birth stats on display. The white pumpkins also make this decor ideal for this time of year.
