turning 60 party food

My mom is turning the big 6-0 next week and we're throwing her a little open house get together this weekend. Even though we're keeping it pretty simple, I thought it would be fun to see what kind of appeys we could do for the big event. Of course I turned to Pinterest! Here are some yummy ideas I found*:

Stella & Dot Garden Party - decor ideas

I'm having a little Stella & Dot jewelry party (I've got a little contest coming soon!) with my sister-in-law Lisa in a couple of weeks and I thought I would have some fun with it and make it a bit of a garden party. It's going to be small so I don't want to go overboard, but I wanted to do something different than what I usually do for get togethers.

Here are a few photos of inspiration for decoration - some of these might be a bit over the top for my party but it's fun to get some ideas this way:
