An Adult Game Night Party

Thinking about having a game night party for adults?

Here is some eye candy that may make you want to roll the dice...

The color scheme for the evening was black & white polka dots & yellow...

I made the invites using black & white polka dots and a Scrabble tile font which set the stage for the party...

My inspiration for this table came from who else but the queen of dessert tables...

Amy Atlas...

She had done a black & yellow table that tickled my fancy...

I thought the color scheme would be perfect for this party...

The flag was made using the same polka dotted paper that was used for the invitations & adorned with yellow & black ribbon...

I think it looks fabulous on the white french doors...

I used two of the same colored yellow tablecloths so that they would drape almost to the floor...

I purchased them at my most favorite place...HomeGoods...

I used black serving pieces that I had from Goosie Girl's birthday-halloween party which were purchased at Target & HomeGoods...

For height, color & freshness, I used simple, clear square vases & covered them in the same polka dotted paper & attached yellow ribbon...

They sat on top of block styro squares that were spray painted black...

I made these Whoopie Pies using Martha Stewart's recipe...

I used her Marshmallow Fluff frosting (which I tinted yellow) for the inside...

I also added vanilla pudding so they would be moist...

I cut a piece of the polka dotted paper to use as a liner for the pedestal...

I like how it peeks through...

I found these tiley, sparkly looking, black candle holders at Old Time Pottery...

I couldn't resist..

These chocolate cupcakes are made using Ina Garten's recipe...

They are the simplest things to make!

I made cupcake wrappers using the same polka dotted paper...

The black tray is from Target...

The tic tac toe cookies are made using a chocolate sugar cookie recipe that I found at Bake at 350...

the dough was amazing to use!

I hate when you are trying to roll it out & it's all sticky & yucky...

Not this one!

I piped X's & O's using royal icing that I tinted yellow...

Cakepops are from the cakepop queen herself, Bakerella...

I tried dying the chocolate black but it came out gray...

I don't know what happened...

I even used Americolor...

oh well...

the gray blended...

Both of these trays had the polka dotted paper liner too...

I found these sweet little dice boxes which I filled with Lemonheads...

This little pitcher (there were 2 of them from HomeGoods)

were filled with chocolate covered pretzel sticks...

I sprinkled banana split sprinkles on top to give them some texture...

You can't have a game night without popcorn...

I like the touch of red too...

Cakepops again in the back...

The front tray has domino chocolates...

Again, my black wan't working well so I kept them white...

A side view...

My favorite piece of the party...

the dice wine charms!

Totally love them!

The water had to have a little bling...

Same polka dotted paper with the same Scrabble font as the invites...

An arial view from the balcony...

The perfectly coordinated plates & napkins...

both from Target...

I heard the party was a big hit...

I hope you enjoyed all the details...

Please let me know what you think!

Oh...and thank you fellow & favorite bloggers for all the ideas

& inspirations you provide on a daily basis!

A "Charm"ing Addition

Won't these be a "charm"ing addition to the Game Night party?

It's always the little things that have guests talking...

These were the simplest things to make...

in the beading section at JoAnn's...

earrings, black, yellow, red beads and the dice were buttons...

I made them while I was watching American Idol...

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!

A First Birdie Birthday

Hip Hooray just threw her daughter a first birdie birthday.

Just precious!

The attention to detail is superb...

I'm loving the bookshelf behind the dessert table...

She gives a complete summary of how she executed this sweet little event
