ever since the wedding, i've had an itch to plan something, anything actually. and katie b. has been wanting to do a recipe party-since forever. so we combined ideas and creativity and threw a really fun, yummy food party! so i've decided to post a blog with all the little details, tips and tricks we learned about planning a recipe party.
invitations: for the invites, we did actual recipe cards. i found them at michaels craft store in the dollar section. i love a great value. to fill out the invite, we put "instructions" for the perfect recipe party--well you can see in the picture below :)

games: since our girlfriends aren't very "gamey" we decided to non-activity games. we chose to do: "cutest apron competition" and asked every attendee to come in their cutest apron-which DeEtt won! we did "best recipe"-obviously. and we did a "how many" buttons game (which ended up being quite the task to count all 1,493 buttons. sorry again to my husband daniel who i nominated to count all of those--oops).

recipe cards:all of the girls invited were asked to bring a copy of their recipe for the other girls--so that we could make the recipe, too! one girl hand-wrote recipe cards for every girl. one girl stamped her recipe for everyone, and the rest of us just did the ol' computer print out :)


prizes: we splurged a little bit and got gifts for all of the winners of the games. which when the girls saw the prizes, said: katie, you set the standards high. which is kinda fun! but little do they know (until they read this) that i got all the prizes at ross!which means=money saved! love that!



drinks: the great thing about having a recipe party is that it means the girls all bring food (their recipe), so all we really had to provide was drinks and eating utensils, plates, etc. so i went to Trader Joes and got some fancy looking drinks, threw some lemons and water in a pitcher, and since we have limited space, i set up a drink station on our bookshelf.



recipes: now the part you're all waiting for--the food!i know you're just dying to know what food was made, well don't worry, i'll show-and-tell you!
