Elizabeth was the very first blogger to contact me when I launched the blog last summer. It turns out we have some fabulous mutual friends. She is one of the kindest, warmest and stylish ladies online and I adore her. Be sure to check out her blog PRETTY PINK TULIPS and you, too, will be a fan! I had to include her in my 9 in the New Year Series.
Items for a birthday luncheon for a girlfriend
1. Calligraphied Invitations - This one is from SARA'S PARTY PERFECT
2. Pink Peonies - Elizabeth's favorite flower (shhhhhh....don't tell the tulips) Order some HERE
3. Real Glasses - Sometimes people like to use plastic glassware, but Elizabeth is a firm believer in real glasses. How about THESE from Crate and Barrel? They are stylish and inexpensive.
4. Pink Champagne - Elizabeth's favorite is LAURENT-PERRIER CUVEE ROSE BRUT
5. Outdoor Venue - While not always possible, it makes an event magical. How beautiful is this table setting from SUNDAY SUPPERS?
6. A Beautiful Cake - This one is an angel food cake from style maven CAROLYNE ROEHM
7. Celebration Candles - Tall skinny TAPERS are so elegant!
8. Monogrammed Cocktail Napkins - The very best are from LEONTINE LINENS and make any occasion a bit more elegant.
9. Party Favors - Elizabeth always gives her guests a "little something" as they are leaving.
Elizabeth - Please put me on your invite list!
