Champagne Popsicles

I hosted a girls night at my house last Friday and it was a complete SUCCESS! I wanted to share with my friends/viewers some tips on hosting a girls night!

My particular theme was: Pinterest/Wine Night. In a nutshell, we would create cute Pinterest Crafts, drink wine, munch on appetizers, paint our nails, and do what us girls do best GOSSIP!

I researched PINTEREST [www.pinterest.com] crafts to see what particular ideas I could steal to make this night a success. As soon as I saw the chalkboard wine bottle I fell in love! This was the following that I wanted my guests to replicate:


Wine Bottle Chalkboard Vase:

Materials:
  • (1) Wine bottle per guest
  • (1) Chalk stick per guest
  • Chalk Board Paint (I purchased mine from Michaels)
  • Flowers


Instructions:
  • Remove labels from wine bottle (soak in hot water and scrub)
  • Paint (2) coats of Chalk Board Paint on wine bottle the day before your guests arrive 
  • Give guests painted wine bottle when they arrive with chalk and ribbon- and let the decorations begin
  • Once the wine bottle vase has been decorated to their liking, add flowers
Here are some examples of Vases that my guests did:

 This craft was very easy and a ton of fun. Plus the girls had something to bring home and place in their rooms/apartments. All of the vases came out so different and unique; it was really such a fun craft. I think this would be the perfect idea to place on tables for weddings/receptions so that guests can find their table number. This is very affordable and fun!

The next thing I needed to do was to get the girls some fun appetizers and treats; what better of a place to look then my dear friend PINTEREST [www.pinterest] yet again. Take a look at the goodies that I had for my friends when they arrived:

Appetizers: 
  • Cheese and Crackers
  • Pixie Stix 
  • Ring Pops
  • Zuchinni Pizzas
  • French Bread with Marinara Dipping Sauce

Champagne Popscicles:
Give a glass of champage to all of your guests served with a 50/50 bar inside.

It tastes amazing-the50/50 bar will start to melt fast, so make sure your guests enjoy it while they can!
....and lastly don't forget to add some balloons to the decor. Who needs a pillow fight when you have a balloon fight :]
Peace. Love. Girlsnight!
