Delightful Mother’s Day Party

Hi Friends… I am so excited to share this delightful Mother’s Day Party with you!

Delightful Mother's Day Free Party

 This lovely soiree is by Larissa from Sweet On Parties. I was so excited that she used the free Mother’s Day Party Printables that Free Pretty Things for You designed for us recently.

FREE Mother's Day Printables

{Download your own Free Mother’s Day Printables}

 Check out some of the super creative ways that Larissa incorporated them in this celebration:

Free Mother's Day Printables

 What a perfect setting for a Mother’s Day Party! Note the ribbon Larissa used with for the banner and the mini-flags that she decorated the cake with. The most darling detail is this beautiful party-goer. Her ruffled dress even matches the colors of the printables.

Mother's Day Party

 I love the gold lettering Larissa used on the place cards/menu cards. Are you craving a mini pavola as much as I am right now?

Free Mother's Day Printables What a sweet bundt cake! It looks scrumptious.

There are so many more gorgeous photos (and some adorable models) and ideas for you to see over at Sweet On Parties!

 I hope you visit Larissa and mosey around her charming blog. Thank you for sharing your magical soiree with us.

 Hi Friends! Wow the days are passing in a blur as we count down to summer vacation. It feels like school and sports activities are in maximum overdrive around here.
