We love a farmers market theme for a summer party, like our “The World is Your Market� graduation party theme! We teamed with Panera Catering for an easy menu we styled to fit the fresh decor theme for a hassle-free luncheon that will allow you to celebrate instead of cook.
To give the guest of honor an added boost on their big day, create a table just for guests to leave messages of congratulations and advice.
With a fresh baguette and a few simple materials, we created an uncomplicated yet polished place setting. Learn how we made this DIY Baguette Place Card Holder.

TOP PARTY TREND:
AS SPOTTED BY
OMBRÉ
“One of our favorite party trends,” says Jillian at Catch My Party, “is ‘ombré,’ which means a gradual change of a color from light to dark.”
“The best thing about adding ombré to your party’s color scheme is that it can work with any color and for any type of party (kid birthday, adult birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, etc.) Also, since it’s a new trend, it it will make your party feel fresh and modern.”
