Peach and the Willow

“Life is too short not to say “I Love You” often, to save the fine china or to skip the whipped cream! It’s too short not to play dress up and drink champagne with your girlfriends on a Tuesday night!”

Sabrina Pflug

Planning a fun party for the girls can really be executed anytime of the year, but I find it especially festive to throw an “over the top” girly party around Valentine’s Day!…a Galentine’s Day Party, if you will. Add a theme to your party and the fun can begin before guests even knock at your door! With only one guideline for party attendance, guests were asked to arrive dressed in their favorite Sex and the City character. So in the days leading up to the event, friends were scouring their closets for their best Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda outfits! So. Much. Fun.

Since the party theme had been established, it was up to me to create the festive decor, beautiful and tasty nibbles, plenty of bubbly and the signature Sex and the City cocktail, The Cosmopolitan! The atmosphere was alive with laughter, music, clinking glasses and lots of quality girl time!

The mood was established at the front door using a garland of party fans by My Mind’s Eye. I rummaged my own closet for my Carrie Bradshaw outfit…the only thing I purchased new was the tulle skirt!
