Entertaining with MM: Stock the Bar Party

So what do you do when your child-hood best friend, who is really like the annoying brother you never had, is getting married!? Throw a stock the bar party of course!!

​But seriously... friends who are really family is a true gift in life and we were so happy to be apart of this special time.

​A "stock the bar party" is a fun choice, especially when hosting something for the couple (not just a bridal shower; the soon to be hubby needs some love too). There are TONS of ideas and themes on Pinterest that the options are pretty much endless.   

​Check out our fall themed stock the bar bash below - I even included a tutorial on how to re-create our pumpkin center pieces! These would also be great for a Thanksgiving center piece, hostess gift, or "just because"!

​Pumpkin Flower Arrangement Tutorial:
​Items needed:
​-1 medium to large pumpkin, as round and perfect as you can find!
-1 carving knife
-1 spoon
​-Old newspaper
​-6-8" tall flower vase (this will depend on the height of your pumpkin - choose a vase that is small enough to fit within)
-Flowers! Whatever you like best!
Instructions:
​-Carve out the "lid" of the pumpkin. Be sure to make the hole a decent size, as if you were carving a jack-o-lantern
​-Remove the lid and throw it away. Begin to remove the insides of the pumpkin. Clean it out as best you can but it doesn't have to be perfect.
​-Place your vase in the center of the hole and stuff newspapers around it. This will help hold it in place so it doesn't move around.
​-Fill with water and begin arranging! Be sure to cut some shorter pieces so that it covers up the hole.
​-Now you have the perfect fall arrangement!

Cheers y'all - to fall, family friends, a life time of love, & stock the bar parties!!
​Thanks for reading!
