Last week I met with a group of ladies here on base to begin planning a spring "Friendship Lunch" to include both Americans from base and local Japanese women. It's a big event for our organization and we're excited to get planning. I offered to take the lead on getting the invitations and paper goodies designed and printed.

The lunch theme is "Spring Garden Party" so I immediately hit Pinterest for inspiration. Not surprisingly, I found so many beautiful invitations and parties that immediately have me longing for sunny days, green grass and fresh blooms. Here are some of my favorites. Maybe they'll inspire you to plan a little party, too!
