By JennieI'm hoping to co-host a mimosa brunch later this year and while any party that serves mimosas doesn't need much else to be perfect, there are a few extra touches I'm hoping to make.
If this sounds like your kind of party, you have two options: 1) move to Texas so you can come to my party or 2) throw your own (with some tips below).
First up, invitations. While I love a good, witty evite more than the average party thrower (what price is better than free?), paper invitations aren't something to scoff at. Who doesn't love getting mail? And mail that's inviting you to a party? I'm sorry, that's just downright fun right there.
For only $15, you can buy a customizable and printable invitation like this Garden Party Invitation from Em Papers Etsy Shop. Customize it, print on the paper of your choice and voila! Not too expensive, not too difficult.

Also, if you opt for paper invitations, spruce up your envelopes with this fantastic return address stamp ($38) from Letter Girl's Etsy shop. I've been wanting one for ages.
Next up, the decor. Keep it simple! Put some daises in thin white vases around the house (how gorgeous are these white milk glass vases?), use clean, crisp white linens, and make the table pop with some bright, colorful ruffle chargers ($4.95 at Crate and Barrel).

Now, let's not forget the star of the table. The champagne flute. While you could certainly pick out something funky for each of your guests or even keep it easy (and less breakable) with a plastic flute, I like this classic flute that's reasonably priced from Crate & Barrel.

You'll also need champagne for those mimosas, so check out our champagne round-up for some great tips.
Now, the menu. Keep this simple too. Muffins, (sweet or savory) scones, an easy breakfast casserole. For my party, I've definitely bookmarked these blueberry crumb bars from The Sweets Life, as well. Hey, why not also have a little chocolate and make these mimosa brownies from Cakespy? (They fit the theme!)

Yum.
If you're into giving favors, check out this perfect gift idea from Make & Takes: mason jar cupcakes.

Or, pick up one, really nice gift and have a drawing at the party. I love this novelty apron from Paper Source.
Most of all, enjoy yourself. Have fun, sip a mimosa and talk tv, books, hair, and husbands with your favorite friends. That's what parties are really all about. The stuff is fun, the company is better.
Enjoy!
