So, what are two things that go perfectly with Christmas parties? Cocktails and Christmas cookies, of course! I had so much fun setting up this festive area in our kitchen! This built in hutch with glass cabinets is perfect for party fare. You could also set this up at your kitchen island or table! Old […]

We are officially moved into our new home! I haven’t done much decorating yet but I did style our dining room table! I had the opportunity recently to create my first Thanksgiving table with Old Time Pottery! I’ve styled fall tables in the past but we are usually not home for Thanksgiving so this was […]

One of my most favorite places to decorate is our breakfast nook! Its such a cozy spot to have a cup of coffee and look out the window. When Old Time Pottery wanted to help me decorate a Christmas table, I knew this one would be fun. They have so much cute Christmas tableware! As […]

Things are in full holiday swing over here! Starting with the front porch. I was so happy Old Time Pottery wanted to collaborate again on our porch decorations. It is a really fun area to decorate! So, you may remember our Spooky Porch had witch hats hanging from the ceiling. I really liked what they […]

Question for You
Below is my English Bulldog-Bella. Otherwise known as "Boogie" because she boogies when she is happy. She is my baby. Yes, I am one of those people who are crazy about their dog. People say she does not know she's a dog. What do you think?
(I promise this will be related to parties)
Well Bella's 2nd birthday is coming up this month and I was thinking about throwing her a party. We had one last year but it was really just a reason to have a party. It had nothing to do with Bella.
I was wondering if you have ever thrown your pet a party? I want details! Was it pet themed or did you just use that as a reason for the party?
To take it a step further…I want to know… what is the craziest or funniest reason you've ever thrown a party??? Don't be shy. This will be fun!
I think a pet party would be fun (probably more fun for the people than the pets, but still…)
My family doesn’t need a reason to throw a party. We organize two or three theme parties a year just for fun.
Similarly, my co-workers and I have a Thursday afternoon tea party tradition. Each week we search the date on Wikipedia and decide what we’re celebrating. A Russian holiday? Leonard Nimoy’s birthday? It really doesn’t matter.
In both cases, the party comes first, then the reason. 🙂
(I blog about related stuff here: http://www.everybodysinvited.wordpress.com)
It’s funny you mention this, because I’m in the beginning stages of just such a party! My “twins” turned two in February, but that’s not a good time for an outdoor party, so I figured we’d celebrate in the summer.
Sprocket’s birthday is coming up May 25th and I want to throw him a party. So I’d love to see everyones ideas.
My idea is a lion theme, he thinks he’s a lion and his favorite stuffed toy is this nasty old lion which we have replaced 3 times.
Lion dogcakes, maybe a felt ‘lion’ collar, playing some frisbee, a pool to play in and whatever else him and his dogfriends enjoy.
This might be the idea I stick with or I might come up with something else. Whatever happens you can check it out on my blog May 25th or 26th!
We’ve had small celebrations for our dogs in the past (special dog food cakes, etc) but next month my dog will be 100 in dog years so we’re planning a little bash for him. Love your bulldog – we have one too!
These are all great ideas! Happy Birthday to all the dogs! Stephanie, I love the Lion theme. Hannah-The tea party tradition sounds like so much fun. As long as you’re celebrating it doesn’t matter why! Thanks everyone!
We gave our Old English Sheepdog a first birthday party last year with party hats and a doggie cake. All of her doggie friends came and a few even wore ties. The oddest party I had was a new red chair. My husband said No to the new chair but I bought it anyway. I sent out birth announcements for it and had a bris (ritual circumcision) where we cut off the tags and yelled Mazel Tov!
D-I’m laughing out loud to the red chair party! How cool and creative. I love the dogs in ties too. Thanks for your comment.
I threw a party when my greyhound turned 10! I made pupcakes and had doggie-themed food (i.e. hot dogs, pup-tato chips, soda pup, etc.) She received gifts and opened them herself (she’s very talented!). I’m sure all of my friends thought I was nuts, but this had to be the craziest party reason ever and it turned out well! Best of luck with yours! 🙂
