In April we had an open house for Shaun's brother Mike and his wife. They got married in January in Washington DC but there was lots of friends and family that couldn't make it so they had an open house here. Shaun and I coordinated the event which we hosted at our house. The weather cooperated so we were able to have it outside. I think everyone had a nice time, I know we did!
The happy couple!
Centerpieces we made for the open house. A friend gave me the idea for hot air balloon centerpieces and I just had to do them. Don't you think they look good?

Mike just before he released one of the giant balloons. It was quite fun to watch the balloon disappear into the sky and see who could watch it the longest. I think Shannon's sister won. Surprisingly we never saw it pop, it just kept rising and rising and rising until you couldn't see it anymore.
The Italian soda bar was quite a hit. Next party you plan you should have one of these.
The dessert table. We gave out the "R" sugar cookies as a favor. They were pretty tasty! We also had several hors d'oeuvres that were really yummy but I didn't get a picture of them. Happy wedding Mike and Shannon!
