We know your Pink Plaid House Party will be fun. And tasty. And creative. And meaningful. And...
...well, the truth is, while we know it will be great, we don't know exactly what will be most special about your get-together. But we WANT to know!
I was unable to host my party at my home so I did it at work. During our lunch hour, I decorated our lunch room, brought in recipes from my new cookbook and all of the samples that were provided. What a lunch hour. Everyone loved it and I think that everyone will purchase the new cookbook because everyone wanted mine. Thank you for the opportunity to host a Pink Plaid House Party. God Bless everyone who has had to deal with this horrible disease and survived.
We had a blast, it was a great reminder to all about breast cancer awareness month, my mom even scheduled a mammogram the Monday after the party. It was a great time with the girls!
My party rocked!!! We had "boobie" cupcakes, with pink frosting, and buttercream nipples. We wore pink aprons as we made the caramel snack mix on the recipe cards. We drank pomegranite martinis and had so many laughs. What a fun night... Thank you!!!
I was so happy to have hosted this party! We all ate too much and enjoyed every minute of it!
This party was awesome! Thanks so much for the opportunity to host this!
Everyone had a great time at the party! Thank you so much. All of the wonderful party favors were greatly appreciated!
The party was so much fun... I only wish I could of invited more people... I made a cupcakes. with pink icing of course.. In the party package I put reminders that all of us were going to go have our mamograms done. I had told everybody in advance to check their calenders so that we could set a date. Then we each put the time & date in the party package to help us remember.. Some of knew people that had died of cancer in one form or another..:( I just want to say thanks for the great package. Everybody was so jealous of my new cookbook..
This was such a great party and it held very special meaning to me. I lost a very close cousin and her mom who was like a sister to me to breast cancer. I have several friends who are cancer survivors. I started by decorating my dining room and den with pink streamers and pink ribbons. I also had pink candles and pink light bulbs in my lamps for the event. I had made pink punch and made 3 different types of cupcakes and decorated my cupcakes with homemade pink icing and put pink ribbons on them. I gave out the party package pieces and everyone loved them. I also made a cheeseball which I believe is the best one I have ever ate. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much we talked about getting together every 2 to 3 months and doing a Pink Party where everyone brings their own dish. We are trying to think of some way to do some type of fundraiser so we can donate to Susan Kohem so that will be coming soon. Thanks to everyone for giving us the opportunity to get together for some great memories.
My party was moved to work on Saturday morning, because we had to work. We set up a small table with decorations and gift bags. Each bag contained the items in the party package as well as a breast cancer awareness bracelet, calendar, and butter mints. Everyone loved their gift bags. We enjoyed a cake made by Bonnie decorated beautifully with pink and white icing. We had cashews and walnuts. I also served a fruit tray with dip, and the very first cheeseball I have ever made with crackers. I displayed the PINK PLAID COOKBOOK in the center of the table with breast cancer awareness wall hanging behind the table. I think we are going to put into the works to have an annual breast cancer awareness celebration every October. We all had a wonderful time. We had 24 ladies in attendance with a special guest speaker. Lorie Sailors is a survivor of breast cancer. She gave a brief speech on the importance of getting your yearly mammograms and doing your monthly self checks. Can't wait until the next party to celebrate a wonderful cause.
Thank you House Party for giving me the opportunity to throw one heck of a party in support of one heck of a cause. It raised awareness while giving my friends and family an opportunity to spend some quality time together. We had a great party... great food, great games, a great theme, and great guests. Thanks also to Better Homes and Gardens - a wonderful organization and a fantastic publication. I am now a subscriber for life. Thanks for all that you do for us everyday people.
I just want you to know what a great time we all had. I am so proud to have sponsored a "pink" party, and a party in the "Better Homes and Gardens" name. We discussed how the local grocery stores and running so many sales on "pink tag" items, and we're seeing so many advertisements lately, supporting breast cancer awareness, and that is so great! We enjoyed the wonderful cookbook, and so many of them are going to be ordering their own. I'm already going to be ordering one as a surprise Christmas gift for my mom, because she loves those cookbooks, and fell in love with it, when she saw it. We all had a fantastic time, and shared so much. I would LOVE to do this one again, and really hope this one is offered again. This was the best party I ever had.
We had a great pink time and to my suprise on Saturday Morning I got the new issue of Time magazine and their cover story was on Breast cancer so I had the magazine there to share with my guests. We all enjoyed the food as well as the friendship and shared stories as well as goals. Thanks to house party and better homes and gardens for giving us memories to last a lifetime.
This was a fun party with great friends and family and for such a wonderful cause, Cancer awareness. We had refelecting times on lost friends and family members as well as enjoying time spent with surviors. We enjoyed the great recipes in the Pink Plaid editon of Better Homes and Garden Cookbook. I know what im giving this christmas for quite a few of my friends, who were so impressed with this editon of the cookbook. We had pink punch and pink food and just a pink time...lol It was fantastic Thank you :o)
We had an awesome time! Everyone loved the receipes that I made and two of the girls have the Pink edition of Better Homes and Gardens cookbook so they marked the page numbers down for themselves. I even made my first double layer cake from scratch! We discussed if we personally knew anyone who has been touched by cancer. I learned that one of my friend's mother had breast cancer and survived. My mother is a colon cancer survivor. It was really touching to learn this information about one another and know that this is a battle that many women face.
We had a great party at the local country club and raised $100 for Susan Komen. Our actual party was smaller but turned out to be really great. We ended up roasting s'mores on the beach and toasting our lost friends and family. It was touching, meaningful, and crazy! I loved it and have to do another one soon.
Thanks BGH and House Party!!! We had an AWESOME party! We held it at the local Eagles club and hosted a potluck featuring recipes from the book. We had live music, good food, drink specials and lots of friends. We raised almost $300 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I will definitely host more parties with House Party!!
Thank you so much Housparty.com and Better Homes and Gardens for choosing our family to host a Pink Plaid House Party ! Our party was a huge success. Everyone enjoyed passing the cook book around and trying the new dishes that I selected from it. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to host this party not as many people showed up as I had planned due to my sister in law having an emergency delivery with her new baby so most of my guests were at the hospital that night with her it still went alright everyone loved the goodie bags and everyone loved the food they all plan on buying cookbooks soon! I'm glad I had this chance to share memories of the ones we've lost and to discuss the importance of sbe's and how to do them thank you again !
