Today's chic for cheap look comes at the request of reader Heather who will soon be hosting a celebration for her dad's 70th birthday. Here's how she describes this challenge: "The event won't be too formal, will be held in a church hall in the evening, and
will have all ages of guests. I am just 40 so I want to be sure to
look crisp, fun and pulled together. As far as gift ideas, my Dad loves coffee and wine. So all of us
kids are pitching in for a gift that lasts all year: coffee of the
month from SLO Roasted Coffee Company and wine of the month from a Washington Winery. I love, love all of the gift ideas you find in etsy shops so if you have any suggestions..."
Heather also found some great table decor ideas over at housemartin (via Blomsterverkstad), and they in turn inspired me to create a free printable birthday card for any of you who would like to use it. It is not male or female specific (though it might be a little too floral for some guys). Download free-printable-birthday-card.pdf
(prints two to a page - I recommend the use of premium matte heavyweight paper for best results). Enjoy!
Don't forget to check out Melissa's look right here. Have a wonderful celebration with your father, friends, and family Heather!
