Last year, some dear friends of ours had a destination wedding. Many of their local LA pals couldn’t join in the celebration so Eddie and I decided to throw them a little “Mr. & Mrs. Party!”
For this party, I went with a coral / pink and gold theme with a touch of teal. If was early fall, so I added a few pumpkins. The scrapbook paper pumpkin was featured in our Mod Podge Pumpkin Makeover Video. For the cake table, I used a dollar store plastic tablecloth and some ultra rolled rose fabric to make a covering. The KT Scrapbook art was created by just collaging images and cut flowers from scrapbook paper. The “just married” banner was boring so I added some coral / pink paper behind the letters. The cute pink and gold geometric plates were from the dollar store.
I used this floral scrapbook paper throughout the party. To add a more festive mood to my dining room, I coved my family photos with collages from their wedding day. Wedding photos by www.josealvarado.com.
For this design, I used the scrapbook paper and some paper-cutouts left over from our photo props.
I really love how the gallery wall turned out. I used every scrap of paper I had. Since the photos were just ink-jet print outs, I used tape and a glue-stick to put them all together.
All of our guests have little kids. That is how this little group of friends met. So I wanted to have a treat that they would like. I dipped store-bought mini rice crispy treats into pink candy melts. The were gobbled up fast! LOL
For the entry way, I added a “Mr & Mrs” scrapbook paper so guests could sign a happy wish for the couple. I also added wedding themed tattoos and photo props.
Of course we had a toast! With a drop of hot glue, I added some rolled fabric roses to each little plastic champagne glass. I have a problem…. I can’t stop gluing stuff to stuff.
I made a sweet little heart cake with a…. box mix. Of course, I picked strawberry to match our pink theme. The heart cake pan was from IKEA and the cake topper was from Jo-Ann Fabrics. With the leftover cake batter I made a few cupcakes. I just couldn’t toss the batter.
We had a little toast and cake to celebrate this amazing sweet couple!
We had lots of nibblers too. It was a mix of grown-up food and kid friendly snacks.
I created this “Mr & Mrs” sign with…. Mod Podge and gold glitter. This glitter tips video will give you all the scoop you need to create something like this. I like how the gold pops off of my black counter tops.
We all had a lovely time celebrating Karol and Thomas!
We didn’t get raise our sparklers but we did get to raise our glasses!

Lovely sister photo!
That is a wrap on Karol and Thomas’s “Mr & Mrs Party” – I hope these ideas have inspired you to think about things you can make or do for a Just Married Party. If you can’t join a destination wedding…..don’t fret you can always celebrate when the bride and groom return. xoxo
