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!)


four: tablescape inspiration -
Sewn together streamers, streamers on serving ware

five: my new fiestaware inspired dishes will be mini serving trays on our
TACO & SALSA BAR!

six: wicker baskets for napkins, cutlery, chips, etc 
+ handmade party favors 



- More Inspiration -

- handmade paper wall medallions for the fence
- festive citronella candles & lanterns
- airplane bottles of tequila favors for guests

- Budget -
$200
money I'd gladly spend for my best friend!

Do you have any tips for a new maid of honor?
