Everyday Events: Outdoor Smores buffet

I love this smores buffet from Moore Minutes. Love the rustic outdoor setting, love the burlap and love the pine cone tag holders.

LOVE the jumbo marshmallows!

Love that she had different flavor options including peanut butter cup!

Love how she incorporated nature into the setting, even lining the trays with camo scrapbook paper.

Plus, bark, twig and stick balls...

Make sure to stop by Moore Minutes to see additional photos. If you plan on camping this fall, put this idea in your file for a fun night around the fire.

Everyday Events: Impromptu Picnic

Isn't it amazing how fresh flowers, ribbon, raffia and some baskets can make your everyday picnic look like it came out of a magazine?

Paula of Frog Prince Paperie had 3 hours notice of her guests arrival! She threw together this perfect impromptu picnic with what she had on hand and it turned out beautifully!

See that beautiful pound cake? She shares the Paula Deen recipe on her site! AND, she sells those monogram circles in her etsy shop.

Paula's impromptu picnic is exactly the type of occasion we celebrate here at EC. Even with short notice, when you have a few basic extra touches on hand, you can make any gathering an occasion!

Everyday Events: Little Man Tea Party

This is one of the cutest little themes I've ever seen!

Cheri at I am Momma hear me Roar, threw a little man tea party for her son, Rex. Rex is obsessed with everything mustache and told his mom he wanted a mustache party for his 3rd birthday.

Done! And super cute!

So she made it like a tea party. She made full sheets cakes and cut them into mustaches. Drew faces on plates with Sharpies.

She cut sandwiches in the shapes of ties and drew shirts on the napkins!

and look at the mustaches on the cups! And how cute are the boys in their ties??

Visit her blog to see more cute photos and a tutorial on making the 'stache cakes!

This party made my day! So adorable! And easy!!

DIY: Mini ice cream sandwich sticks

Amy at Living Locurto made these easy and cute ice cream sandwiches on a stick.

Couldn't get much easier that this.

Take full size ice cream sandwiches straight out of the box.

Cut them in half, add a stick and dip them into sprinkles!

Use red, white and blue for July 4th or Labor Day.. or use whatever color combination matches your event! These would be especially cute at a tailgate. Cover them in sprinkles of your school's colors, keep them in a cooler until time to serve!
