Hello and happy Monday! 

I suppose I should start by explaining my disappearance over the last few weeks. The shortest explanation is this: I found a job! Woohoo! But because of my very quick start date with my new company, I literally had to put everything else on hold in order to finish up a consulting work project. Let’s just say, I just finished everything up yesterday. Which is great, because today is my very first day at my new job! I’m excited, filled with anticipation, and a bit nervous…all of which I hope means good things. Only the future knows!

Now, on to today’s inspiration post. I have been DYING to throw a party ever since I moved to Chicago. I originally toyed around with a Halloween party, but very quickly nixed that when the new job offer call came. So now, I’ve moved on to a Thanksgiving/Fall party, and I’m determined to put this one on the books and make it happen! 

I love the ideas I’m pulling from the above pictures. Pumpkins, gourdes, and leaves + deep, rich colors are just what I’m looking for as I plan the decorations. Throw in some Thanksgiving favorites turned finger foods, and I think I’ve got one great party idea!

Is anyone else in the party throwing mood? What’s the one thing you look for when you go to a party? Decorations? Food? Drinks? Please share!

and as always, you can hit up my Party Planner Pinterest board to see all the above pictures + much, much more!
