even though we got quite the downpour of rain right before the party started yesterday (which we needed and actually help cut the humidity) the party was such a success. my mom did a great job organzining and planning and cooking. i guess i know where i get some of my skills from.
my peach sangria was a hit … and super delicious if i must say so myself. i actually thought i made WAY too much but it was gone before i knew it!
so here’s my recipe… i used 6 bottles of white wine (pinot grigio and moscato), 2 -3 cups peach schnapps, 3 cups orange juice, 1 1/2 cups simple syrup, 1 large bottle of pellegrino (or any sparkling water), 6 peaches chopped, 4 granny smith apples chopped, a bunch of green grapes halved, 4 lemons sliced, 6 peached cubed, 3 oranges sliced … and boy was it yummy. and the smell was crazy good too.
see the invitations i made. the inspiration for the party was a picnic … and red and white ghinham of course.
there were lots of flowers for decoration…
vintage baskets thrifted from goodwill …
there was super yummy spinach dip …
there was an older brother that tried to ruin my vegetable tray picture …
ahh, that’s better…
there was homemade salsa (the final jar from last year – saved for the perfect occasion) …
there were cookies …
lots of cookies …
and of course … cake … the most Delicious cake made by my aunt …

Nice Pics Michael you’ve created the
party all over again. Thanks again

creative invites. Mom
The same thing happened out my way, the rain came and all of a sudden it wasn’t totally miserable out! But on a more serious note, how much do I want to dunk my head in that sangria? and the spin dip too. Both are my weaknesses.
and the theme??? I adore it! Such cute invites!
you are dangerous for giving me that recipe for sangria, help!! Those cookies and that cake oh my, what brilliance!
mmmmmmm……sangria, I’d almost get over my wine allergy just to try that! lol – everything looks grogeous, nice invites 🙂 glad the weather cooperated for you all.
