Planning Your Themed Menu

Make sure you give some thought before deciding on your final menu! Have a few tasty treats to offer as well at your party.
DIY crafts are always a very nice personalized touch, it’s why we decided to include some!

Try your best to soak it all in while also capturing those precious memories you can look back on! Don’t forget to take pictures of your creations you make too!
