June Pinterest Party - Utah!




**This post may contain affiliate links**

I hosted a Pinterest party at my friend Melissa's house, in Utah, when I was there visiting for a few weeks, in town for different events. I thought, why not throw a Pinterest party as well! So I did. Huge thanks to the 2 that came, we sure missed those who were not able to make it. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate.

I can't believe I made it through another
whole year of Pinterest parties! Although I did continue doing them virtually for a bit, I was very stoked to finally switch back to hosting them in real life. They're still not perfect and I always think of ways I can improve them (after I do them of course) but keep reading to see what we ate and what we made!

I was very excited to be able to host another Pinterest party in Idaho - my second one this year! Tony's niece, JD, was so excited to let me come set up the party at her place. She was a great host! Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate!

Oh, and here is the Pinterest board we worked from for ideas and inspiration.

Christmas in July Pinterest Party

 


**This post may contain affiliate links**



Sooo, there has been quite a lot happening this summer. To start, the last Pinterest party that happened was in May.  I had planned to do one for June but had 2 camping trips, a hot air balloon event and an unexpected family funeral in Northern California. So that pushed out any plans I'd made for doing a party that month. Now - July - almost over! I was gone for the holiday, then went up to Utah and a day later drove to Northern California again for another week of girls camp. I badly wanted to do a Christmas in July theme since somehow I've never done that before! But with very limited time to plan, it just didn't turn out like I had hoped in some ways. Keep reading though to see what we made and what we ate....


First Ever - Virtual Pinterest Party 2020

 

**This post may contain affiliate links**

While I was in Idaho for Thanksgiving, I made the decision to jump to doing Pinterest parties virtually starting in December instead of January due to covid. Parties are soo much more fun (imo) in real life but I didn't want to completely stop doing them (like unfortunately happened over the summer) so the only other option there is right now is to try and do them virtually. This proves tricky in a lot of ways and I was nervous to start up this way of doing things but it worked out pretty decent. Keep reading to see what we made and ate.

July Utah Pinterest Party!


July was a cactus and succulents themed Pinterest party and my friend Melissa hosted it at her place. So grateful! People really pulled through with some great food and I provided the crafts except one that Jessica so kindly brought for us to do. Check it out!

Craft, Snacks, Birthday Bash


I wanted to do something fun with friends for my birthday this month and what better way to celebrate than to do a paint night? It's not something I am very good at and I thought this one would be easy'ish but it's been tricky for me to get my waves looking right!

Patriotic Pinterest Party - CA


No better time to get this post up than on the 4th of July even though this party was a couple weeks ago now. Lots of traveling has made for quite the busy month but we still managed to find time for a Patriotic Pinterest party!

Utah Favorite Things Pinterest Party


My friend Karina let me have this Pinterest party at her place and I think it worked out pretty nice. Any place we have a Pinterest party while I am in Utah seems to work out great. We had a good turnout at this party and a lot of great food & crafts!

May Pinterest Party Theme Announced!



I feel like this party might need a little explaining because it's slightly different than any I have attempted in the past. This theme will be the same for both California and Utah parties.

Thinking of themes for the monthly Pinterest parties can be fun and at times, a little challenging. I don't mind keeping most months the same theme (yes the cactus & succulents party as well as the camping and s'mores party are both likely happening again!) but when it's always fun to switch it up a bit too and I've been wanting to do a favorite things party for awhile and incorporate it with a Pinterest party.

There are various ways a favorite things party can happen but here's how I plan to do it.

Bring 1 wrapped gift. $10 spending limit. Can be various small items or one main item.

At the party you will be given a number and all gifts will be numbered as well.

Bring your favorite food from Pinterest (or a craft for everyone to make if you prefer).

We will eat and craft as usual and then towards the end of the night, or maybe the middle...we will swap gifts / you will take the gift whose number you were given when you arrived.

It'd be nice to open while we are all together and have each person share why they picked the gift they chose to bring.

How about that? Sound so fun? I dont want to overwhelm anyone so I hope everyone who wants to come will be okay with this theme and thought it would be a cool way to get to know people better. 

Let me know if you have any questions and as usual, if you'd like to bring a craft for everyone to make, let me know because I might just have the supplies you need and am totally willing to donate them towards the party.


April Utah Pinterest Party!

The April Pinterest party had the theme of spring and it was held in Utah since I was up there for a bit of time and my California peeps had a lot going on this month. Keep reading to see what we made and ate!

February 2018 California Pinterest Party Theme and Changes!




Every day of the year has some sort of 'wacky holiday' that various people celebrate. February is no exception - you can celebrate groundhogs, bubble gum, birds, ice cream, stuffed mushrooms, lame ducks, chopsticks, cards, kites, pizza, white t-shirts, friends, lost pennies, plum pudding, batteries and cherries just to name a few. You can see a complete list here


So, I thought with that being said, the February Pinterest party theme would be any of the wacky holidays in the month! Want to bring a food that you'd eat with chopsticks? Want to bring a pizza? Want to bring plum pudding or a cherry dessert? Go for it!

Since taking a poll in the West Coast Pinterest Parties group and a majority of voters were leaning towards only having to bring a food instead of a craft, I will give this a try. For the next few months I will provide 2-3 crafts and those attending can bring the food. I will try my hardest not to provide any food except drinks.  We'll see how this goes. After a few months we can evaluate. If you want to attend and are dying to bring a craft for up to 10 people, let me know and we can work that out - no problem.

Please email or leave a comment on this post if you have any questions. 

Date will be announced this week!
