This
Ladie's Night was fantastic! Fourteen lovely ladies got together to do a little Chinese Christmas gift swap...you know the game where you draw numbers to see the order in which you pick a gift and the next person can steal someone's gift or pick a new one. Everyone brought either an appetizer or bottle of wine to share so this is a low-cost way to entertain.

The table is all set up waiting for food and friends to arrive! I wanted the table to represent the girls so when I found the wire
dress form, I had to have it! I painted it red to match and draped her with a boa. I wrapped a vase and tied it to look like a
ladie's corset. The big martini glass is filled with
"rubies," "emeralds," and
"diamonds"...a girl's best friends!

I dressed the "corset" vase with
bling letters and maribou boas.
For the table "runner", I used lengths of extra ribbon I had.
The Bar:
Are you naughty or are you nice? If you're naughty, then come sit by me!!! ; )
Once I stumbled upon this
wall transfer at Joann's Fabric store, I knew it would hold an important roll at the party. It was the inspiration behind the bar area.

The sign says
"For the Naughty Girls... Appletini." I added
gourmet potato chips and M&M's for a little salty & sweet. The glass dish of chips is embelished with a swirl sticker from the scrapbooking store and it sits inside the larger bowl for a kind of tower effect.

Glasses rimmed with
green sugar, star fruit garnish, and tiny jeweled sticker on the base.
I lined the trays with green wrapping paper to coordinate with everything.
"For the Nice Girls... soda and water." For the water bottles, I made unique labels with sayings like
"Santa, bring me some bling," "define good," "Santa, I can explain." More adhesive gems were also placed on the labels.

Love it! I love the colors and all of the fun details! I'm sure your friends had a blast!
Oh what fun! I loved how you used paper in so many elements, and as a fan of signature party drinks, I loved your cocktails. Can't wait to see more pictures!
I don't know if I can take more. I'm on cute overload right now. I love how you hit all the details! So cute!
Thanks, Ladies. I had so much fun putting it all together!
