Planning a Party

I wanted something special for this birthday. My sister found many wonderful sites with party settings.
We decided to use paper plates to make the clean up easy.  There will be 22 people.

Planning a Birthday Party for your Mother

We looked at a variety of Websites on floral arrangements and party table settings. We looked at paper plates online and at stores and decided to go with the pink peony dinner plate. The plates will sit on a green round place mat with pink salad, dessert and napkins from the dollar tree.  The napkins will go in clear plastic wine glasses.
 
My sister made the lovely floral arrangement from flowers from the dollar tree.  I really like the the idea of a lace looking table cloth.  There will be three of the floral arrangements, two silver candelabras and several tea candles in small clear glass containers. We were looking for chargers that I had seen on the internet, but no one seemed to have them. My sister came across some green place mats at a discount store.

 
The name cards have the same motif as the plates. 
It will sit in the center of the dinner plate.

 Using the same paper plate motif you can cut out the wine cup name tags with a punch.  I also glued on the name.  I am out of rose colored ribbon, so I just put white to see how it would look.
There will be rose streamers all across her living room ceiling and a happy birthday banner. We will also need push pins to tack it up.  Balloons too.
