Fall Themes...

       I don't know about everyone else, but I love a party with a theme. Now that I have a daughter, I am so excited about all the parties that I get to throw and of course with themes! This past weekend we had my daughter christened. When I was talking about the plans with my mother and telling her about the theme, she was confused. She was like isn't the theme, the christening. I said absolutely not! I am having a fall themed christening.

      I worked my butt off to make it as nice as I possibly could. It is hard to do this with a very limited budget, an infant and a only a backyard but I think that I pulled it off.  Of course, we had pumpkins and acorns in some the centerpieces that surrounded mason jars with flowers but others were made of white birch logs that I drilled holes to hold tea lights. In my mind it I would light all of the fall scented tea lights and it would smell like fall... However the wind did not cooperate and kept blowing them out!

 

      For some reason, when I thought fall, my mind kept going to mason jars. I am not sure if this is because of the fall harvest or the fact that they are everywhere! So of course we had to have them with fall colored paper straws. We made homemade lemonade for the kids and for the adults Honey Crisp Apple Sangria! It was a huge hit.
