We all decided that it would be a lot of fun to get together this summer for a picnic/barbecue at a local park so that the kiddos can run around like banshees in the sunshine. I'm sure that no one is surprised to hear that as soon as this came up as an idea I started mentally planning the details. It just so happened that this coincided with the arrival of my monthly Martha Stewart Living that is full of gardening and spring fabulouness that only got me all the more excited for sunshine and entertaining! Here are some ideas I've been kickin' around...
The playground at Washington Park would be perfect for the littles to run around in and it's near picnic tables for the moms & dads.
I have always loved simple groups of flowers in mason jars as a rustic and fun way to add color to a casual outdoor party.
How cute and perfect is this lady bug design for a picnic? Love it!
Juan Ayala {daddy of Romina} has perfected the bbq hamburger & jumped at the chance to be grill master. I think this cute condiment set would look really great on the table next to "the worlds best burger".
Okay, no one needs this many beverage options with a group of our size. But, I do love beverage dispensers like these and was thinking one with iced tea and/or lemonade would be perfect.
These are from the high priestess herself Ms Martha Stewart {from this months issue of Living}. They are little mint chocolate puddings in flowerpot shaped votive holders with sprigs of mint in them to look like seedlings! How adorable is that?! This is super easy {chocolate pudding as the base with crushed mint chocolate cookies on top to look like potting soil and a sprig of mint sticking out} and the votive holders themselves are "dirt cheap"!
As you know, favors might be my favorite thing about parties and I thought that Martha's carrot cake sandwich cookies would be the perfect favor for everyone to go home with.
Those cookies would look adorable in favor bags like this!
