"Under Construction" Engagement Party

This was a very special engagement party for us at Harmony Gardens!  It was to celebrate Malcolm and Cindi's engagement (the owners of Harmony n Love Catering).  And it was also special, because I got to plan the entire thing and host it with my brother's girlfriend!  Fun!  We had games, and good food, a dessert buffet, a candy buffet, a fun DJ, some dancing, and we got to celebrate an amazing couple!  What more could you ask for?  Oh, some pictures, perhaps....

It was an "under Construction" theme, since the couple is building a new home and we tied that theme throughout.     

Cutting the cake

 we made cupcake flags out of paint swatches 

we placed trivia about the couple on larger paint swatches and put them in the centerpieces

We had everyone sign his and hers tool aprons

 Unfortunately most of my pictures were taken right before the party and we had not uncovered the candy yet! 

We used a drywall mud bucket to hold cards and gave mini tool sets for prizes for the games.  Games consisted of "Guess the number of screws" and answer trivia questions from trivia in the centerpieces.  We asked the question, "Where do see the couple in 15 years?", "How will you pray for the couples marriage?", or "write a fond memory" and had the notes pinned on a clothes line.
