Sparkle Brunch

Start the New Year right by hosting a fabulous brunch for your nearest and dearest. We themed ours, "This Is Your Year To Sparkle." We provided guests with beauty-themed favors, including beauty-themed pads and pencils, and nail polish.

Make your table POP with a black & white chevron tablecloth, gold accents, and bright flowers.


Choose a theme and set the tone using mini chalk boards.


For dessert, try French Toast sticks and Hot Cocoa!

Add some party-themed elements to your entry way.
We used some of our beauty-themed party favors.
