A charming way to welcome party guests & capture great memories

This weekend was about family.

It was about celebrating and simply catching up.

And it involved cake and lots of nibbles and

just a few flowers…

and a whole lot of goofing off and laughter.

Such as water balloon fights. (more coming there)

Pranks, snapchat snippets

and a certain bicycle.

While I ran around the house on Saturday sweeping the floors

and spritzing linen spray,

I also created a few simple bouquets with some of those market blooms from last week

and scattered just a few of them around the house here and there

Like in the dining room.

The bedroom

and the bathroom of course.

And I also decided to create a simple, charming welcome for family out on the lawn.

With just a few balloons and blooms,

a pretty present and bicycle.

It was a simple sweet display that is so easy to put together.

It literally took me about 5 minutes.

But it definitely said ‘Welcome’ in a charming way.

Whether you have an old bike or a new one like this one

for a birthday party, grad party or even just a family get together-

a little display out in the driveway or by your entry is a perfect way to greet your guests and say hello.

And… a bonus?

Something like this becomes a great photo prop

for party goers as well.

I kind of got the feeling they were mocking that balloon bicycle set up…

But it was so funny…

I said mock away.

If you are busy with hostess duties,

you can simply set up a camera on a tripod with a timer

and let guests go to town having fun

And you will probably have a good time seeing what they came up with.

There is a reason I call these guys my ‘goofballs’

😉

Love them all so much.

Coming your way later this week,

a close up of the mantel dressed for the party

and a fun tour all about lighting up the night.

Hope your week is off to a great start
