Beachside Pizza Making Party

Taking a page out of my idea of

Crowning Ourselves

I through myself a family

Beachside Pizza Making Party

Ellis gave Jeff and I

 a portable pizza oven

 for Christmas

so I thought a little family beachside party would be a fun way to use it!

Conceptualizing parties is always a favorite of mine!

So picking a red and white color scheme

with a vintage flair  for 

a  beachside pizza party

 was my jumping  off point

As far as parties go

bringing everything beachside from home

for a set up

required quite a bit of planning and list making.

I really reveled in the challenge.

I was very 

intentional about enjoying the party planning process and 

the  set up.

We got to the beach 3 hours early

to secure a good spot

and

to be able to set up without any time pressure.

I was so happy I chose to 

wear a set up outfit

and then

changed into my 

Party Outfit.

I did a

 trial run party set up

 the day before at home

so I could know for sure how many folding tables, textiles, florals ect. 

I would actually need for the party spread.

I had individual

 boards for pizza making

I ordered

 parchment papers

 pizza trays

s and 

rolling pins 

as well.

We had all of the toppings pre prepared as well.

Jeff of course was in charm of the 

pizza  oven cooking

We had a vintage cart that works perfectly for the pizza oven set up

which includes a propane tank

that sit on the bottom shelf.

After the set up I changed into my

 tulle skirt and off the shoulder gingham top

but the wind gave a chill in the air

so I was happy I brought my denim shirt.

I was so happy with how the set up came together!

all the pre prep really payed off!

I happily wore my red rain boots to my party

because I hate the feeling of dry sand 

they worked so well for me!

I set up a child sized coloring station

filled with crayons and a roll of craft paper.

I always love to have a little creative play 

worked into my parties

especially when my sweet grandchildren are involved.

Ellis made a

 beautiful Italian snack board.

My friend Rachel brought

 a tasty salad!

Rachel and I met almost 30 years ago

when our children attended a Waldorf playgroup!

Needless to say our kids are all grown up by now

which gives us plenty of time to ocean kayak!

This canopy is from Business and Pleasure

I set it up in case the grand kids wanted a cozy play area.

I've made the fabric pennant banners over the years.

I love how they so easily add a pop of fun and whimsy to any party!

I couldn't be happier how my multi generational party turned out!

My heart is so full of love\for everyone who came out for our

Beachside Pizza Making Party!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy as you 

style your life
