A “Paint” Inspired Dinner Party

Todays entry into the Pink & Orange-inspired Vendor Challenge comes all the way from South Africa.  Julie and Shona of In Good Company put together a stylish and modern dinner party that would be great for both young and older guests.  They used a paint theme and offer up some creative ideas using the challenge colors plus navy to give it a more neutral feel.  Read on for the details… 

The idea is well suited to a party held at home where you would like to add the special touch without going “overboard,” for example: a milestone birthday for a husband or best friend, a graduation or “congratulations” party or even “just because”.  We were inspired by 100 Layer Cake’s Inspiration Board and Jen Ramos artwork at Cocoa & Hearts.  The printables were designed by Paper & Cake.

Some tips from the ladies to help create this look are:

• Design your own backdrop by painting a plain canvas with bold stripes coordinating with your color palette.
•  Use the rest of your paint by splashing stripes on invitation cards and envelopes.  Add some glitter and you’re good to go!
• Craft your own paper flowers to save on budget.
• Dip bamboo cutlery in paint for a well placed splash of color.
• Serve store-bought candies & desserts and add printable toppers for a special touch.
• Paint stripes around candles for an updated candlelight centerpiece.
• Add ribbon to swizzle sticks for that little extra touch.
• Fill printable favor boxes with extra treats from the sweets table.

Thanks to Julie and Shona for such a beautiful design and some helpful tips to pulling it off!
