Summer All Time Favorites

Summer All Time Favorites

Let's face it. It is hot.

For some reason the North Carolina heat came out of no where. We have skipped the Spring and went straight from Winter to Summer. With this instant change in weather, means instant change in your style and how you host Summer parties.

For me personally, I pick the hot seasons to vamp up my jewelry game, and experiment with different clothing cuts that work well with my body shape. One of my favorite stores currently is our neighbor "Pink Magnolia"! They have been my go to for everything Boho chic!

With new fashion, means new summertime parties! Which I LOVE! Luckily for us, I can pick out my summertime fashion next door at Pink Magnolia, and pick up amazing party and decorative essentials here at Cute Buttons.

What are my current favorites....glad you ask! :)

1. Paper Place-mats!

I love outdoor dining, but I hate the clean up after it. These place-mats here at Cute Buttons has made partying outdoors so festive and enjoyable, for the guest and the hosts!

2. Decorative Napkin Holders

I am a sucker for adding small accents to my summer party. Complete Sucker. So, instead of having your guest pick napkins straight out of the bag, lay them in a napkin holder. Not only is it hassle free for your guests, it really shows that you know how to host a great party! This napkin holder below is from Jaye's Designs, and is located online and in-store at Cute Buttons!

 

3. Thank you Cards

A little goes a LONG way. Every event I host, I always give my guests Thank You cards for coming and enjoying the moment with me. Below are my absolute favorite from Crane Stationery. You can order this online or in-store, and if you call, we can monogram these to add that extra flavor!

4. Serving Platters

Serve, Serve and Serve!!!! My biggest pet peeve at parties, is when individuals dip their cup (with their hands), into the punch bowl. YUCK! How can we fix this? Our Mudpie serving utensils is the way to go. Seriously. Make your favorite Sangria, and put it in this clean, elegant, and fun serving utensils. It screams Summer. You can order this online, or pick it up here!

 

I hope you enjoyed my spin on hosting Summer Parties, with some spice!
