Dorm Dec Wednesday: Engagement Party Inspiration Board

Recently my room mate got engaged.  Hoooooorrraaayyyy!!!!!!!

I have been asked to be the maid of honor & boy am I excited.

Since the wedding date is going to approach fast - less that 3 months actually - I am planning an engagement party.

a FIESTA! engagement party at our new place!

We have the perfect sized back yard for this & I can't wait

this isn't going to be your everyday fiesta though....it's a hip fiesta :)

-Backyard Engagement Fiesta-

one: reds, blues, oranges, yellows - perfect fiesta colors

two & three: margaritas like there's no tomorrow - pitchers & glasses

bride & groom-to-be cactus margarita glasses

a carafe filled with margs on the rocks

guests will drink from salt rimmed mason jars 

(I'll be emptying a lot of sauce jars in the next few months!)
