FOOTBALL PARTY TIP

We've all seen and do the wine charms... but I have to say I never thought of doing something to help party guests keep track of their beer or soda cans. I love this idea from Lydi Out Loud. She made cute helmets with a Cricut attached to elastic hair bands as "can charms." If you don't have a Cricut, you can use different colored footballs that would be easy to cut out.  Find this idea and more for your parties here.

WREATH MAKING PARTY

While I was going through these photos I felt like I could actually smell the fresh scent of greenery. It immediately relaxed me! Get together with a few girlfriends to relax while putting together a plush green Christmas wreath. It'll be a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the holidays. With Christmas just over a week away it's the perfect time so your wreath is nice and fresh. This get-together was hosted by Janelle, wedding industry florist expert, in her home studio (nice room, right?!) who taught participants how to make their own wreaths using boughs and pretty adornments. (Having them use rubber gloves is a smart tip!) Thanks to Calgary's GingerSnap Photography for taking and sharing the festive photos.

FREE DOWNLOAD: HEALTH FOOD TAGS

Health awareness is so prevalent these days--especially if you're hosting a party. My daughter has many food allergies, so I ask guests to make me aware of any allergies they have right on the invitation. That way I can make sure to have food options ready for them. Even preparing meals for teacher luncheons we are asked to provide one gluten free option.

To make it easy for guests to identify foods at a party, FoodPackagingLabels.net has a great set of food labels you can download instantly for FREE HERE.  From sugar free to gluten free, their set (shown above) covers a wide variety of options. You can also use the labels to organize your fridge and pantry. The website also generously shares free printables for the weekly meal planning and special events. With Easter right around the corner, you might want to check out the Easter labels here.
