Pick: A French feel
Before you head to the party store looking for décor ideas, sit down, look at some pictures of Paris for inspiration and come up with a concept that’ll come across to your guests. For springtime in Paris, a soft pastel palette is oh-so pretty. For a Bastille Day bash, think of the French flag and its colors: blue, white and red. For something terribly chic, go for monochromatic black and white. And for an over-the-top, girly-girl look, consider pink with rich accents or designs.
Think: Makeover
Inside or out, small room or large, any space you have available will work for this party…you just need to be creative. We love what this party-planning guru did to this simple indoor/outdoor patio area. Disguise plain walls by hanging streamers or ribbons from ceiling to floor. Head to a local farmer’s market to pick up piles of fresh flowers on the cheap—or, ask guests to bring a bouquet of their favorite blooms instead of gifts.
Listen: La vie en rose
Set the tone as soon as your guests walk in with songs straight from the streets of the City of Light. You don’t need to crank it up, just turn up the volume enough so strains of old-fashioned French music can be heard as you talk and laugh and munch your way through the day.
Get started with this vintage French playlist from Spotify…
Sip: A little bubbly
Leave champagne for the adults—we’ve got something even tastier. Pick up a few bottled of sparkling lemonade. Keep them cool in a vintage-looking ice bucket, and ask Mom if you can borrow her good champagne glasses for the occasion. Getting a no on that one? Instead, head to a party store and grab a set of good-looking fakes. Might be pricier than the bottom-dollar versions, but you can wash and reuse for other parties, too.
Shop ‘til ya drop: Anders-Ruff has tons of coordinating printable décor ideas for your party.
Bite: Adorable desserts
The French are known for their food, so instead of offering just one choice for everyone, consider going with a buffet. For a main course, think baguettes and a spread of cured meats, cheeses and veggies. A good local bakery will have everything you need for dessert, like cream puffs, éclairs, croissants. Or, you can whip up your own treats. Try our rosewater cupcakes to start. We also love these crafty Eiffel Tower treats, made from wafer cookies and icing.

You know the funny thing is I was rushing to do my nails for fourth of july on my right hands that it looked like that flag that girl was holding and it was red white and blue! Just like paris flag a bit, but far away, it looks like italy's flag!!! 3 flags in one hand that I designed! LOLZ!

Here is a good cause (a page on FB). It's a page called "Hold A Child's Hand". If you like the page, you will be helping us out a BUNCH. There were many goals we wanted to accomplish with our project. One of our goals was to raise awareness of the importance of the preservative free drug called, Methotrexate. (a drug that helps children fighting cancer) This medication has been in short supply for some time, and we decided that we would contact the congressmen of all 50 states, as well as President Obama, to inform them of the issue. Another goal was to help families who are affected by childhood cancer. To do this, we planned many events to raise money for cancer research and financial assistance for families. Our goal was to raise at least $1000 for a foundation called “Alex’s Lemonade Stand” which focuses on finding a cure for childhood cancer, and providing funds to help families as their child endures treatment. Another goal was to raise $150 for the Ronald McDonald Charities.

Hey RainbowPuke99, it may be good to bring some wipes or a couple pairs of shirts to change into. Grab some sanitary wipes or skin wpes and dab yourself whenever needed. You could also bring like 2 extra pairs of a shirt, but make sure they all look the same, like all white or black tees. Hope this helps and have fun! Xoxo

I love how the wafers are made to look like the Eiffel tower! I made a club called Live your life which is basically about your life and where to come if you need someone to talk to or just need advice and another club called Arianators which you should join if you love Ariana Grande. There are positions open in BOTH clubs and if you want to apply for a position then please join my clubs and leave a comment there and tell me why position you would like to apply for and why. Even if you don't want to apply then please join! To find my club(since my profile is being moderated) go to clubs then click on new clubs. Right now both my clubs are on page 2, but it might not be in a few hours. So please join because these are the first two clubs I have ever made!
