Kids’ Tables-I covered the kids’ tables first with burlap, then with a dark purple “runner” made with taffeta. I added one green ribbon going down the center. I placed small vases of purple and green flowers mixed with painted candle holders on the tables as center pieces. Kids’ Lunches-I purchased quart-sized wooden berry baskets from online and spray-painted them purple (of course). I then tied a piece of twine and a little barn silhouette (that I found online and printed on brown paper) on each one. I wrapped the lunch in a square piece of lilac satin and tied in a double knot. Inside were almond butter and strawberry sandwiches cut out in cute shapes. I also found the milk jars online and had my husband drill a hole into each lid where the straw would go. (These were 2 year olds, so I knew there would be spillage!) For an extra detail, I made hand-painted wooden labels that said, “Milk” for each jar. Adult Food Table-I covered this with burlap, and then placed moss all around the white platters of food. The menu included:
- sandwiches of roasted organic chicken, arugula, pesto, sun dried tomato mayo, and fresh mozzarella 2. sandwiches of roasted turkey breast, bacon, roasted red pepper mayo, and spinach 3. vegetable tray with spinach herb dressing 4. fruit tray 5. cheese tray 6. fresh tortilla chips with guacemole and heirloom tomato pico de gallo 7. salad of organic mixed greens, roasted red beets, toasted walnuts, goat cheese, bacon, and champagne vinaigrette I made 2 large banners to hang on either side of the adult food table: One that said “EAT”, and another that said “YUM”.
