RE-ceiving Guests: Easter Table #2

CASUAL BREAKFAST TABLE.  I posted this week about using a Butterfly Theme on my Living Room Mantel which left all my cutesy, pastel Easter stuff unused.  I decided to use it in my family room.  The pink felt placemats are from Target.  They are in the Dollar bins.  The bunny placemats are from Pottery Barn Kids.  I bought them 9 years ago for playdates and I still really like them.  The coordinating egg shape plate is also from Pottery Barn Kids as part of the same set.  I used a white cotton tablecloth and white napkins.  I used the green and white polka dot paper left over from my St. Patrick's Day table to decorate the napkins.   The crystal old-fashioned is by Gorham. 

Bunny Convention.  I gathered our stuffed bunnies and put them on a cake stand for a centerpiece.  I have pink and green tulle remnants that I used for make believe and different parties when my daughter was young so I wrapped some around the centerpiece for a bit more color. 

Got Bunny?  We have a lot of bunnies left over from when my daughter was young so Easter allows us to get a bit more use out of them. 

Big Centerpiece.  I normally don't have such a big centerpiece on this table, but I had so many bunnies to use that the centerpiece grew and grew.  I didn't even use half of our bunnies.  I was especially sorry to not be able to figure out a way to use our moss bunnies, but the table was just not big enough. 

Green and Pink.  The Pottery Barn bunny place mats and plates come in 4 colors: green, pink, blue and yellow.  I have 2 sets (btw, wish I had a third, but I haven't seen them again, not even on ebay, don't you hate it when that happens?) so I decided to only use the green and the pink to emphasize those 2 colors since it is a smaller table.  This also allowed me to use items like the green and white stripe candles and polka dot paper covered tin cans left over from my St. Patrick's Day Table which was nice.

RE-ceiving Guest: Pink & White Luncheon

OUT ON THE PORCH.  As Reba mentioned in her post on Blue Toile Tables, she likes to host guests outside on her covered porch. She fits 3 tables of 10 there easily and since weather in our area is warm most of the year,  she doesn't have to worry about it being too cold.    Almost 4 years ago, Reba hosted a luncheon in honor of our niece's graduation from high school. For the party, Reba chose a pink and white theme.  Reba used  light pink and white buffalo check runners over rented hot pink tablecloth on the tables.   Pink and fuchsia colored roses in white pots were the centerpieces.  As with the blue table settings linked above, Reba chose personalized M&M's in white tulle drawstring baggies as favors for the guests at this party.  White and pink paper placecards were used at each setting.   

Reba used her lighter pink glass goblets and clear water goblets.  Silver chargers under white plates broke up the pink infusion.  Reba found a cute set of white and cotton candy pink napkins at Pier One with different designs (polka dot, stripe etc.) on sale.  She bought all the ones they had in our local stores and asked me to buy some in my town so she would have enough for 30 place settings which she has mentioned is the number of guests she plans for when she shops for tableware/entertaining items.  She placed the napkins on top of the plates at each setting.  She used her Towle Old Master silver for flatware.

I think the party setting turned out super cute and very appropriate for the occasion.  Hope you enjoy the pics.

When she began planning the party, she originally was going more pink, black and white because she found some cute party invitations that match our niece's personality.  However, the adorable napkins from Target made her go more pink, silver and white in the end.  If you're curious, Reba found the invitation online HERE
