party in a box // pinwheels

I love table settings. 

There's something about the place setting, centerpieces, and details that make my heart swoon. 

Sometimes, there isn't enough time for crazy table settings and that's when a PARTY IN A BOX comes in handy! I've done this before and they are so fun (see here & here). 

This box (well, technically it's not a box, but close enough) was for my sweet friend Charis' birthday. 

 Supplies- scrapbook paper, pinwheels (large and small), plates, napkins, forks, straws, mason jars, 

cake server, twine, and a cake stand. 

 We got to the restaurant early and placed a piece of scrapbook paper at each place with a little napkin,

and a cup of water with a straw. 

We ended up not using the little pinwheels & the twine just for a gift.

Then we filled 2 mason jars with sand and pinwheels.

 So simple and so cute. 

Dinner at Piggy Back BBQ in Whitefish.

After dinner we enjoyed a gluten free coconut cake from Sweet No Wheat. 

Super fun night celebrating a wonderful friend!
