Being surrounded by all things weddings and parties in blogs, in magazines, and on TV (
Yes, I too watched Sean and Catherine's wedding the other week…and yes, I refer to them on as first name basis), can make most nervous to jump at throwing her best friend a shower, much less a wedding!
Personally I have had instilled in me the love of hosting and showering for as long as I can remember by the ultimate"Hostess with the Mostess" my mom. For her, it was never about having the finest china or catering by a James Beard award winner, but about the little details. She always has the best table settings for an event; fresh flower arrangements with seasonal fruit and cute cards identifying each food item. The couples monogram can often be found scattered throughout the home as well as the cute nickname of a friend's baby (i.e. "lady bug" or "scooter") on cookies and invitations. Every detail is well thought out and given special attention.
One of the easiest ways to focus on the details is to think about the paper products. No, I am not talking about the plates and napkins, but about the invitations, the place cards, the cupcake toppers, and even the food identification cards! It's not too hard, once you've established your theme, color scheme, or invitation.
