Dancing Branflake Pool Party

Imagine this:
All your friends gathered around this pool.
Gourmet snacks and yummy goodies are being passed around.
There's a live band, some people dancing on the grass, and an endless supply of laughing.

Let the pool party begin!

The Menu
Refreshing drinks, light but savory finger foods, and a refreshing of dessert.

What I'm Wearing
Breezy top, fun skirt, and a whole lot of color.
Aren't those wedges adorable?

The Favor
When your guests arrive, let them choose their favorite color.
Then let them take it home with them as a favor.
Hey, it's less laundry for you!

I hope you all have wonderful pool parties this summer!

I've not been to a pool party in ages... This, I think, is very much how it should be done!

Caitlin said...

whoa! I am there! Especially for that lobster sandwich. And that suit?! So pretty! Your side job should be stylist for real.

kimbirdy said...

a pool party!!! this is such a fun idea. and could we also have magician doing card tricks? that seems to make a lot of sense for a pool party in my mind, but maybe that's just me. :)

That pool is gorgeous! I like the idea of beach towels as favors. (Something to file away for another day)

Ren- Lady Of The Arts said...

man I want to come to your party- would you be upset if we had on the same swim suit? I'm not trying to steal your thunder it wasn't intentional.

Erika Lee Sears said...

I agree with Ren I think we should all wear matching suits. :)

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

Oh my golly, I need to get myself a suit for this pool party! I packed mine in some box that's heading back to NJ. That, of course, technically doesn't matter as it really doesn't fit that well anymore. A new one is definitely in order. Happy Friday, Tiffany!

Debby said...
