We had Johnny Carino Bow Tie Festival, the simplest recipe ever. But SUPER yum! You can get the recipe HERE.
Huge THANK you to all the sisters who brought salads & garlic bread! Delicious!
And a BIG Thank you to Niki Bagley who made our cupcakes for dessert. (check out her info below!)
The Program was fantastic too! We have such talented sisters in our ward!
Huge thanks to all that were involved!!!
They used the Parable of the Princesses by Jenny Philips
more on that HERE.
Decorations:
We set the tables up in a horseshoe shape, just for something a little different & out of the ordinary. We had a limited budget too, so we kept everything to a minimum. I got all the fun colors of napkins that we used at the Zurchers Party Supply store. The square yellow plates were from Walmart.

We displayed the cupcakes like this, and I bought a mixed flower bouquet at Sam’s Club to stick in the tops of a few of them. An amazing sister in our ward did all the cupcakes for us, Niki actually has her own baking business called Deserts on Demand, so if you need something call her or check out her facebook page! ;) I’m not lying when I say everything she makes is DIVINE!!!
So if you are feeling up to it here is the Napkin Flower Tutorial:
Step one:
Take 4 napkins, any color will do, it’s even cute to alternate the colors.
Pull them all apart like this.So you have 8 thin napkins to work with.
stack them all in a neat pile.
begin folding them like an accordian or a fan.
tie the center with a piece of ribbon
or string. (You won’t see it at all so color does not matter)
Next cut the edges of the napkin, you can round the edges for a romantic look or clip them into a triangle for a more edgy look. I did some of both.
Next peel the layers of napkins upward like this:
Repeat on both sides. Your flower will look like this when you are finished:
Tip: One set of 50 napkins will make 12 flowers
Good luck! Let me know if you have questions. I think these are just darling, for birthday parties, baby showers, a summer BBQ!
It was a great celebration, THANK YOU to all who were involved, it's the Sisters in our ward that make every activity so perfect!
