This site has been a gold mine for party décor ideas, especially for an upcoming baby shower I’m helping to host. No, it’s not for me (duh) or Megan. Her parties have personal and unique elements that give us a glimpse into her creativity. Thankfully, she gives us a peek and tells us how she does it. Plus, the stuff she uses is often pretty affordable. Don’t forget to check out the party themes section of her site. Not only does it include tablescapes and decor tips, but a menu complete with food and drink suggestions! It’s one-stop party planning, I tell ya.
