Our main course was simply delicious while remaining within the theme: A District 11 <u>Fresh & Fruity Agriculture Salad</u>, "<u>Boy with the Bread</u>" rolls from Peeta's Bakery and <u>Beef & Veggie Stew</u>, inspired by the Lamb and Plumb stew Katniss and Peeta enjoy in the book. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">As a hopeless hostess, I am always looking for new ways to serve and display treats at my events! And with a few cheap goodwill purchases in combination with some glue, paint and imagination, I was able to create three different types of cake plates, each for under $10.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Two Step Serving Plates:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b></b>These are perfect for displaying a cake or even for serving something smaller such as cupcakes or rice krispie treats.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="goog_1855447933"></span><span id="goog_1855447934"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">To create these cake plates is quite simple. For the first I purchased a gold candle stick holder (originally 4 dollars but bought on half off day at goodwill for $2) and a silver plate (originally 99 cents but purchased for 50 cents). After fusing the pieces together with a heavy duty adhesive ($8 a bottle, split between 4 creations for $2 each) I painted the finished product with white spray paint ($6 for a can, split between two plates for $3 a can).<br />

This week was a bittersweet week for all potterheads for it marks the end of an era. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the seventh and final book turned movie premiered today (Friday June 15th) thus ending the series that engulfed a generation. To say goodbye to the Magical World, I hosted yet another Harry Potter Dinner Party similar to my previous <a href="http://hopelesshostess.blogspot.com/2011/04/potter-pallooza.html">Potter Palooza</a> premiere party from last November. </div>

So my always fabulous friend <a href="http://denediaries.blogspot.com/">Dené</a> (See her featured on <a href="http://courtneycloset.blogspot.com/search/label/Den%C3%A9">my fashion blog</a>, or follow her on <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/Dene_Roth">twitter</a>) is leaving Arizona next week :( to study abroad in Australia! Anyways, we decided to send her off in style... Marie Antoinette style (because we are both in love with Marie as well as cake!)</div>

This party was all about delicate desserts and sassy sweets, most of which were pink. I served pink cake balls, mini strawberry cupcakes, peanut M&M's (one of Dené's favs), chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows (some pink some white), smarties, strawberry milk and cookies, strawberry pudding, brownie bites, and homemade rice krispie balls.</div>

So we had parasols hanging from the ceiling, hand fans draped about the house, feathers filling the corners, a big banner I created in Dené's honor and a hat box where guests could leave Nay with some last words before venturing to Aussie Land.</div>

Hello Hosts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So last weekend was the Forth of July and although I did not do anything too extravagant for the holiday, I did celebrate with my fabulous mother and amazing boyfriend at my childhood home. For the three of us, I created some exciting celebratory desserts in addition to our all American burger and brats lunch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>Dynamite Drinks</b><br />
For drinks we had tropical red punch but I lined the rims with blue poprocks<br />

Here is a copy of the invitation sent out to all the guests. I create my own e-vites and send them via the free site: <a href="http://www.punchbowl.com/">www.punchbowl.com </a> I used to love this site but as a recently made some disappointing changes. Now in order to use images in your e-vites you have to upgrade to plus and therefore pay.</div>

Like always, we had way to much food, mostly finger foods! For appetizers we had: shrimp cocktail, fruit kabobs, veggies, cumber boats filled with creme cheese and salmon, cheese and crackers, pigs in a blanket, and lady bug crackers: crackers topped with a creamy spread, tomatoes and olives; and for desserts: brownie pops, strawberry cupcakes topped with strawberries, fun-fetti cupcakes topped with blue frosting and umbrellas, carrot cake "you did it" cupcakes (cause horses love carrots) topped with trophies, lemon bars, chocolate sheet cake, chocolate moose served over a vanilla wafer with whipped cream topping and strawberry cookies. For drinks we served punch and lemonade. </div>

To decorate we went with a pink and orange theme, pulling pops of color in everywhere. For table runners we used fake grass, and to create a derby feel wrapped our utensils to look like carrots. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So because of lack of research and some failed hostessing skills on my part I planned my royal wedding party for the wrong night, this error was brought to my attention (thanks grandma you are a life saver) only 5 hours before my party guests should arrive at 10. Although this made for a stressful 5 hours and less of an extravagant party then I would have liked, it will make for an interesting post.</div>

An Easter afternoon, full of food, family and friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This afternoon my mother and I hosted an easter party for our family friends. Rita and Kenneth, their daughter and my good friend Katrina (check her out her blogging magic at <a href="http://www.heylittlebirdie.com/">http://www.heylittlebirdie.com/</a>), her husband Jason and their adorable little children Estelle and Levi. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Decor:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to use simple things to create easy decor that made a big impact. I started with a large white table cloth and a colorful striped one as well. Then topped the table with glass vases filled with Robbins Egg candies, colored peeps and flowers for center pieces. Finishing touches included miscellaneous Easter and spring nicknacks such as bunny and duck trinkets. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For food we had the typical Honey Ham with rolls, salad, deviled eggs, a potato casserole, a dessert salad (oranges, coconut, bananas and marshmallows YUM!) pear cake (so wonderful, you have no idea) and some appetizer finger foods. For a festive touch, I made birds nests out of peanut butter and pretzel sticks, froze them to create a bond and added candy Robin Eggs and paired them with PEEPS!</div>

So easter decor was not enough for this girl, I wanted to add some holiday flair to my hair! I created a 'birds nest' bun and then glued Robins Eggs to bobbie pins and positioned them in and around the nest. To see more pictures, the rest of my easter outfit and the inspiration behind this bird-do check out my fashion blog: <a href="http://www.courtneycloset.blogspot.com/">www.courtneycloset.blogspot.com</a></div>

I have always wanted to host a Murder Mystery Party, and last week I finally got the chance! In the future, I hope I will be able to create my own murder, characters and plot, but for my first attempt I wanted to use a preset story. So I utilized this site: <a href="http://host-party.com/Home/Default">http://host-party.com/Home/Default</a> where you can "purchase" a murder, tailor it to your guests and party and finally print out all the clues and information. I choose The Railburn Murder, a classic 1930's Who Done It! Overall the site and the game was really helpful and I highly recommend it!</div>

For decor ideas I turned to my loyal friend: Goodwill. There I purchased an original classic Clue board game as well as the more recent version. I used the board games and pieces as table settings and food identification cards. Also I taped off the front with "Crime Scene Do Not Cross" tape and made a body outline using blue painters tape.</div>

The Party details and decor were quite easy to do, all it took was a book or two. I put Swedish fish on the table but by the end there were few, I guess my guests liked to punch on fish red and blue. I also made my home colorful and bright, so take a look, like it you might....</div>

When determining what I should cook, I simply looked to a Dr. Seuss book. From the Grinch we had Who Hash (potato casserole) and Roast Beast (roast beef). Then we had Green Eggs (deviled eggs with food coloring) and Ham (ham rolled in green tortillas and ham turnovers with spinach dipping sauce), Oh what a feast! For dessert I made cup cake's resembling Thing 1 and Thing 2, with red velvet cake and blue frosting it was easy to do!</div>

<u>The Details:</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I am in love with Harry Potter books and the movie series franchise, so what better way to celebrate the newest film's premier then to host a Harry Potter Pre Party ? The night before the movie premiered my friends joined me for a night of magical festivities. Then at midnight we headed to the theatre to watch the movie!</div>

<u>The Decor:</u></div>
</div>
Simple Decor tricks can go a long way. I made "house" emblems by printing out the symbols, attaching them to foam and adding safety pins. Then I placed them all in an old witch hat and "sorted" people as they arrived by having them pick from the house. Place harry potter books and candles around to grasp the theme while incorporating dark and regal colors, I choose maroon and gold for Grinfindoor. Set the table in a T shape and cover it with Harry Potter related items, I used miscellaneous "quidditch" balls.<br />

Although authentic Harry Potter food would be ideal, it is not really logical. So make food that remains true to the theme without going overboard. For appetizers I made Dragons Eggs (deviled eggs) while the main course was Hogsmede Holiday Ham (honey glazed ham), Herbology Salad (garden salad) and Hagrid's Hot Rolls (basic rolls). Desserts were fun! I made Pretzel Wands by dipping thick pretzel sticks in frosting and covering them in sprinkles and cauldron cakes by adding licorice handles to chocolate covered cupcakes topped with sprinkles. Drinks were also exciting, I constructed Butter Beer (a mixture of creme soda and butterscotch syrup) and made a bubbling Polly Juice Potion (party punch) by adding dry ice! Be sure to add explanations for your guests who may be less Harry Potter informed.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>The Dinner:</u></div><div style="text-align: center;">For food I served New Orleans style Gumbo over rice, with salad and rolls.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>The Dress:</u></div><div style="text-align: center;">For outfits, everyone wore cocktail attire and Masks, for a Mardi Gras feel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>The Decor:</u></div><div style="text-align: center;">I had recently traveled to New Orleans (hence the inspiration for this event). While there I picked up some pretty Mardi Gras Masks and placed them around the table and the dinning area for some Big Easy Flair. Also I played Jazz in the background to add to the ambiance.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><u>The Details:</u></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">On Monday I turned twenty and had one of the most amazing birthdays ever mostly thanks to my amazing friends and extraordinary mom. Here are some of the images so I can share some of that amazement with all of you! For my party the theme was "Mad Tea Party", partially inspired by Alice in Wonderland</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Food! We had so much food, four rounds to be exact! first three types of finger sandwiches, second scones and jam, third sweets like brownies and fruit cookies and peanut butter cups (oh my) and finally cupcakes! Although it was my birthday, it was everyone else's "un birthday" so everyone got a cup cake and a candle! For drinks we had multiple kind of tea and kept it coming, hot or cold everyone was able to enjoy a great glass of Tea!</span></div>

<u>The Decor:</u><br />
Start your decorating with the door, simply print out "Mad" signs. I had so much fun decorating and trying to capture the “Mad hatter” theme! Take a look for yourself, tell me what you think, was it mAddd enough for you? :)<br />

Create a Mad Tea Party inspired long skinny table with mixed matched chairs and dishes. We just purchased a bunch of bright tea sets and dishes from Goodwill and borrowed some from friends. Using cards, I wrote guest names and used them for name cards for the table setting along with their candy apples I made for each person! I also used fun napkins, and made "drink me" signs to mimic Alice in Wonderland.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Games are always fun, especially for a day party. Some of my favorites include the “Draw a picture on a plate and over your head game” where you simply draw a picture on the plate without looking! All you need are paper plates and pens! We also played BINGO and used the buttons as markers, as well as charades, always a crowd favorite! The winners got different candy as prizes!</span></div>
