Scrabble tile place cards
My absolute, all-time favorite board game is Scrabble. It’s a little like golf for me — I am terrible at it but it never stops me from wanting to play again, and again, and again.
So I was tickled pink when I saw this clever idea on the LA Style Unveiled Blog recently for Scrabble Tile Placecards. Are they not fabulous? Perfect for a game night dinner, engagement party, or a rehearsal dinner, the placecards would be a whimsical addition to any table setting.

Scrabble tiles and trays can be purchased as replacement pieces so you don’t have to buy the full game itself ten times over. For a large event where you’re using lots of the Scrabble placecards, I’d suggest affixing the tiles to the tray with double-sided tape to keep them secure, otherwise they are bound to get bumped off.

Wedding Inspiration: Easy Custom Table Numbers
Custom Table Numbers
While the idea of using frames to display table numbers at weddings is not a new one, I love how My DIY Wedding Day finds a way to make it fresh — and easy!
Simply find frames that complement your tablescape, choose a decorative paper (think wrapping paper, scrapbook paper, etc) that reinforces your color scheme and overall design, affix a printed table number (using the same font as your other wedding stationery) and voila! Simple. Elegant.
The idea could be used equally well at a rehearsal dinner, bridesmaids luncheon, or shower.
Thanks, My DIY Wedding Day!

Beating the Summer Heat with Spirited Ice Pops
Growing up, my mother used to make my brother and me homemade popsicles during the summer. They were always such a special treat and we enjoyed the variety of flavors she would make. I can still picture the plastic molds she used (Mom, where are those? Can I borrow them?!) to make them.
Popsicles really are a fun summer snack. And everywhere I turn these days, I see a new trend emerging: spirited ice pops. What a nice, refreshing, grown-up way to beat the summer heat!
The spirited pops would make a great dessert for a summer barbeque or an informal rehearsal dinner. Choose one flavor to match your theme (e.g. Pina Colada Pops for a Tropical-Themed Party) or serve several flavors to offer guests a choice.
Here are a few recipes to try:
Spirited Pops
Bellini Popsicle from FineCooking.com
Mint Caipirinha Ice Pops
Sans Alcohol Pops
It’s always nice to offer a non-alcoholic selection for those who prefer not to imbibe. Here’s one option:
Martha Stewart Living Blueberry Pops
Mold It!
There are a variety of molds out there for popsicles. You can choose a few (try one for each different flavor pop you serve) or just use one. I love this version from Tovolo, available from Amazon:
