i've got a party to plan!

I'm hosting an engagement brunch April 18th for my best friend Rebecca who is getting married late October. Keeneland will be having its spring meet in April so we will be having the brunch at the track. *praying for beautiful weather* Sort of like a tailgate/brunch, but I think that sounds kind of tacky! I've been ordering decorations and such online and wanted to share some of the cute stuff that is on its way! 

I ordered plain pink drink koozies off ebay. I got them for less than a dollar apiece with shipping! I'm going to order a custom rubber stamp with the bride and groom's initials off etsy and stamp each koozie using fabric ink. I thought this would be a cute favor and useful for a day at the track! Then I can give Rebecca the custom stamp as a gift...
The stamp will look something like this.. but with "R&J".
Stamp from Sweet Paperie

I've also ordered an adorable "congratulations" banner off etsy that I can hang from the buffet table. I'll be serving mimosas and breakfast sandwiches on croissants, and of course I will be serving cupcakes! I've ordered some sweet cupcake toppers for those! 


The banner will be in spring colors and say "Congratulations" - I got it in the "mini" size, and the cupcake toppers will be similar to these only they will have "R <3 J>

Now onto invites...

I hosted a bridal shower brunch for one of my best friends last year. It was a lot of work but so much fun! I did a lot of the same stuff you're doing - lots of pink, monograms, and cupcakes! I used www.paperstyle.com for the invites.
