Day 90: The Invite

Invite picture. Cute huh?

My high tea is coming. The date is near being set. So, I sent out a pre-invite today because as I wrote to my invitee's there isn't much point having a charity auction of my goods if it is only going to be me to attend. With the left picture sent (not home made but a borrowed image from online, but that's not to say my scones won't look as good!) I got some numbers back and it's a go. 

 
Now the difficult thing will be to not overspend in this experiment because let's be honest, buying for a party (especially one with cupcakes and yummy things) can easily turn into a monster event with (not so terrible) left overs. Thift and environment will be front of mind for this, but how to make a good party result? www.reuseit.com was a good site to visit, but this picnic set was just under $20. Good for me in my handbag to eat my lunch with at work, but not good on the thrift scales when I'm hoping for 20 people to attend. Scrap that.


www.greenmuze.com has cute ideas but no where to purchase party items. I think I'll have to go with the good ol' ceramics and after party clean up. I do have some cute tea cups and china... The rest I'll have to borrow and all food items will be home made so less plastic use at least!
