Pioneer Party

I love the 4th of July! Not only does it remind me that I truly am proud to be an American, it is a great time to be with family, have a picnic or barbeque, watch beautiful fireworks light up the sky, the list could go on and on! I came upon a great list of ideas that might help your party the party to be at this weekend! Thanks to Studio 5 for letting me use this... and if you have ideas or traditions that you love, let us know! Leave a comment and let us know what fun things you have done...
Studio 5 Party, Holiday and Idea Contributor Alisa Bangerter shows how to make it a fun, festive atmosphere.
Invitation Ideas:
• Simple invitations could be printed and attached to small flags. If these need to be mailed, simply roll the flag and mail in mailing tubes. • A creative invitation would be to fill a balloon with red, white and blue confetti or paper shred and a rolled up invite. Fill the balloon with helium and tie on a ribbon. Attach a small tag that states the recipient must pop the b…

Hey friends! Do I have a DEAL for YOU! In honor of all of the great dads out there, I want to do a Father's Day Special. Come in anytime this week - MENTION THIS BLOG - and get 10% off your entire purchase! Wahoo! Those dads come in handy, sometimes, don't they?! (phone orders will be accepted if you don't live around town!)

Here is just one of many cute little ideas to do for the dad in your life...
Announce it to everyone... Decorate with a darling Fish Balloon from Pioneer Party...

Top it off with a big bag of Swedish Fish!

Other ideas: Fish for dinner, go fishing as a family, buy a fishing license...
Now if your man doesn't like to fish, then you better come on down and let us help you figure something else out!

Just a random thought for the day:

Sometimes you just can't take life so seriously! Take each day as it comes and start each day with a smile... just like this bag says... "Living a good life is like shaving - no matter how good you do it today, you still have to do it again tomorrow."

It’s Time To Weigh In!

That’s right! Bridal Shower games are hard to find, and sometimes just a bore...so try this idea: Every woman knows that purses are a necessity. You can carry pretty much anything in them. So do a weigh in. Have all the guest line up to weigh their purses and have prizes for the lightest purse, and the heaviest purse! The prize can be anything from a small bag of chocolate coins, to a brand new purse! Get creative! This activity could also be done at any gathering - Bunko night, girls night, family reunions, etc.!! Do you have a good idea for a Bridal Shower? Drop us a comment of what has worked for you...let's share!

Another month has flown by! I can't believe it is already for the next month's message. Well...(drum roll please)... here it is!




The message this month (from the June Ensign) is titled, "Participate in Sincere Prayer." We love the phrase, "Prayer Changes Things" so that is the tag we decided to go with. Because there are no hole punches or other text on the tag, it can be easily taken off and tucked away in your scriptures or put on the fridge or mirror for a daily reminder.
The message is printed on the back, folded, and a package of Twizzlers is tucked inside a cute little pocket. We hope you enjoy and pass along this great message.
