Butterfly Garden Themed Table


Last weekend was out Knights of Columbus Ladies Luncheon Fundraiser.  The way it works is that you host a table and then invite people to join you for the luncheon.  It's a very nice fundraiser and fairly easy to do.  Each person pays $10 and they get lunch and dessert and we have door prizes.  Some years we've even had entertainment.

The hostess of the table has to decorate a themed table and bring a salad and a dessert to the luncheon.  This year, I went with a butterfly garden theme.



I found the tableware at Party City.  I really liked it...it was very spring-y!
I made the little napkin ring out of ribbon and flowers that I picked up at Michael's




The dessert doesn't really have to be themed to your table, but I did it anyway.
I made butterfly sugar cookies...





The centerpiece was easy.  I just got some fresh flowers and put this cute little butterfly clip on them.  I found the butterfly at Michael's.  They had lots of nice butterfly stuff.




I made a strawberry spinach salad.  I needed something easy because I had an extremely busy week.  This was so easy and very good!  It's just spinach, strawberries and sliced almonds.




I didn't have time to make a homemade dressing for it, but luckily I found this tasty, new dressing from Kraft.  It went very well on the salad.






This year everyone who hosted a table also brought a gift basket to be given away as a doorprize.
This was mine.  Again, I didn't have to theme it with my table, but I did.
I put a couple of marigold plants in it, some candles, and some butterfly notepads & notecards.





Claire asked if she could host a table this year so I let her.  Hers was a Candyland theme.  I'll post those pictures in my next post.  It turned out very cute!!

Great idea! I love the way you incorporated the theme throughout the luncheon.
