Fun Favor Friday: Coozies

Thank god it's Friday! We are ready for another exciting weekend here at Keith Watson Events and hope you all have something fun planned to relax after this week!

The weekends are prime time for getting together with friends and almost always reserved for times to get married. This favor is the perfect finishing touch to any party or wedding! How great are these personalized coozies?!?

Order yours at Belle Styles!

We love the personal touch these add to any event and they're a favor that your guests can use over and over again that will always remind them of the memories they made with you on your special day!

How fun are these favors for your next get together?!?

S'more Lovin'

Some things come together to create perfect harmony- chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers are one such combination. No Fall season, bonfire, or camping experience is complete without the ooey, sticky, goodness of a freshly roasted s'more. With that in mind, these favors are the perfect take away for your guests for your wedding or party this Fall.

How many pieces of chocolate do you add to your s'mores- one,two, or go crazy with three??

Love is Brewing: Coffee Favors

There are few things more warming than the smell of fresh brewed coffee in the mornings. It makes waking up early Monday morning for work a little more bearable, it makes snuggling up on the couch to read your book a little more cozy, and it makes catching up with old friends a little warmer.

These coffee bean favors are such a great idea for your caffeine addicted friends or to help keep the memories of your special day awake in all of your guests!

Are these favors your cup of coffee?

First Day of Fall: Confetti Leaves

As tomorrow is the first day of Fall, we figured we'd leave you with a little Autumn inspiration for the weekend!

One of the best parts about Fall is the changing of the leaves and the hues of yellows, oranges, and reds have become a staple of any Autumn celebration.

If you're thinking about having your wedding in the Fall, how amazing would this make for an exit rather than rose petals or rice?!?

What do you think of these for a grand exit???

Perfect snacks for your football tailgate!

Are you ready for some football?? Oh, yes, tonight is Monday night football! We all know there are staples to every football party or tailgate. First off-oversized TV to watch the game. Secondly, team spirit, taken to whatever degree you feel is necessary to cheer your team to victory. Lastly, but certainly not least, refreshments and food to keep your energy up all throughout the game!

While chips and dip is a pretty standard player in any tailgate, we love these ideas to elevate your tailgate even further up the field!

Your guy may not appreciate how adorable some of these ideas are, but these are sure to make you the ultimate game day host/hostess!

Football Party

Well, it's official- football season is officially back! Parties and tailgates are a huge part of football season and the last thing you want to do is drop the ball on your event!

This football party featured on Hostess with the Mostess looks like so much fun! No matter what the score of the game is, this party gets a WIN!

    Does this party score a touchdown in your party book??

The Missing Piece of the Puzzle

When you find "the one," you have found the person with whom you are going to spend the rest of your life with-you can't imagine life without them. You go together like peanut butter and jelly, like popcorn and a movie, like s'mores and a campfire. Whatever it is that relates to your relationship, you know you two are the perfect fit.

With that in mind, how adorable is this puzzle piece cake topper???

Does this piece everything together for your wedding??

Mini Brunch Shower

Favorite meal of the day....go (and yes, dessert can be considered a meal)! While you may prefer a nice steak dinner with all the fixings, there is one meal that is said to be the most important- breakfast. Sometimes, however, breakfast time comes just a little too early in the morning to enjoy. For this reason, whoever created brunch, was brilliant!

How delicious would this be for your next party as opposed to the standard dinner extravaganza?!?

Baby shower, bridal shower, just-because-we-love-each-other, this theme is perfect for so many occasions!

What's a must-have at your brunch??

Money Ballons

Everyone wants to give the perfect gift, and rightfully so, but sometimes deciding on what that gift is is difficult. One universal thing that everyone loves though....money!

These money balloons we found on Be Different, Act Normal would make THE perfect gift for the hard to buy for teen or eager kid who is saving up to buy that totally awesome toy they've been wanting!

I would be in a popping frenzy if someone brought a bouquet of balloons filled with money into my house!

Warning: Added confetti- extra messy, extra fun!

What are your thoughts on this gift idea??

Keep your wine cold!

Metal buckets are a go-to when you think of how to keep drinks cold at your party, are they not? Here's a new twist that is a must-try to keep wine chilled at your next party- the ice bottle chiller mold from Williams-Sonoma. Ice mold holds for up to 6 hours!

                           The metal pan catches condensation so there's no mess for you!

Make it even more fun by adding different slices of fruit, flowers, and more! Incorporate elements of the season into the mold!

Is this not a must-have for your next party?!?

Hire a Wedding Planner

So I may be a little biased, but in my professional opinion, it is a huge mistake not hiring a planning for the day of your wedding. Sure your best friend volunteered to do it, but don't you want her in the pictures? You don't want to be searching for your mom because she's left to find out why the caterer hasn't arrived yet. And, worst case scenario, if disaster strikes, you don't want to be the person trying to handle it! 

The only things you should have to do on your wedding day are get married and live happily ever!
