Party! St. Patty's Day Pot LUCK

Here lately I have been looking for pretty much any reason to throw a party. I think it really has to do with just wanting to see friends and spend time with people I love. It seems the older we get, the faster time goes by, and the busier we all are, the longer it is in between seeing the people we care about. Parties are a good way to remedy that, at least, I think so! 

Back in March, we decided to throw a St. Patty's Day Pot LUCK with a few close friends. The weather was so nice, and we needed an "excuse" to light up the smoker. Aside from seeing friends and smoking meat, thanks to Pinterest, I had been dying to make one of those 7 layer rainbow cakes... and well, what better reason than St. Patty's Day? 

So, we threw a little get together, complete with a pretty adorable little table setup. I made this banner to hang over the table, which I then moved to my mantle for the rest of the month.

The day, the company, and the food were all pretty fantastic... and my rainbow cake, well it was pretty amazing! I had so much fun making it and made a huge mess with those little tiny rainbow nonpareils! You can find lots of progress pictures over on my Instagram feed if you're interested!

Decorations were pretty simple for this low-stress bash. Lots of green and white and a hint of yellow. I love having fresh flowers when I entertain, they add such a nice touch. These lilies were at the peak of perfection for the occasion! 

Our last little bit of fun came in the form of a photo booth with some fun props I downloaded and printed from The Dating Diva's. We had such a fun time, I am already starting to think of the next reason to have a little get together! (Not that you're surprised by that!)
