A Company Luau

Social Graces had the opportunity to plan a corporate event for a great company in Bolivar. MO. They had just completed a software launch and it was time to celebrate the team with a luau. Shauna Storey from Accunture was wonderful to work with and made our job super easy.
Below are a few pictures from the evening.

Baby: A Gender Reveal Party

Today’s party is an extra special one for me…it’s when I (Becca) found out I am having a baby boy in April.

A couple of weeks ago we had a gender reveal party with 40 of our closest friends and family. I had every detail planned, including the WAY we were going to cut into the cake.  Except, I hadn’t thought through the moment of 40 people watching, anxiously awaiting to see the color. It was an exciting and very emotional moment to say the least.
Here is our sweet little girl, Zeda.  I’m not sure what she was more excited about, having a brother or eating cake.

Cake: Belinda Wingo

Truffles, star cookies and meringue: Trader Joes

    Something Borrowed: Autumn Engagement Party

    We borrowed this Autumn themed Engagement Party from Celebrations at Home. Its cute, fun and totally DIY-able (did I just make up that word/phrase?).  Although its styled for an engagement party, it could easily translate into a theme for a wedding, party or shower.
