Pinterest Parties!

Have you ever heard of a Pinterest Party? Apparently they were all the rage during National Craft Month back in March. I might be late on the scene, but I really love the idea. The gist of it is for a group of people to get together and create Pinterest-inspired projects while consuming Pinterest-involved foods. You can have yours themed, or you can just do a generic Pinterest party. Either way, you can pin ideas for it. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Haeley from Design Improvised even had a Pinterest Swap Party, where each person brought craft supplies for a specific Pinterest project (wrapped, of course!). The people at the party then did a white elephant gift swap, each ending up with a craft to take home.


I also think it’d be really fun yo have a Pinterest-themed bridal shower. You could take ideas from the bride’s pinboards (she’s got to have a ton, right?), and create a party from it. You could have little craft tables dedicated to making her pinned DIY wedding decor (centerpieces, hair pieces, etc), eat fun foods, and enjoy cocktails – all based off what she’s pinned for the wedding. How fun would that be?

Anyone in Dallas interested in doing a Pinterest Party? Or would any of you be interested in a Pinterest white elephant swap via snail mail? I’ve got a lot of ideas on my shared DIY board, and my Someday Crafts board.

    I’d actually just been thinking about setting up a pinterest party – I love that idea! I live in College Station, but I’m in Dallas some weekends since we have family there. A pinterest white elephant snail mail swap is a great idea though! mail + crafts + pinterest = awesome.

      Yeah! I think if enough people are interested in a Pinterest white elephant snail mail craft swap, I’m up for organizing it!

    I would be interested in the white elephant snail mail one since I live in Utah. Love this idea. I am a pinterest addict.

      It’d be fun to actually do the white elephant craft swap. I’m hoping more people are interested, then we can do a big one!

    Love these! We based our whole blog on the concept of the “ladies night in”….. basically an excuse to get together with friends, craft, drink and eat!

      That’s such a fun reason for starting a blog. From the pics on your site, looks like you guys have a blast. I bet you come up with better ideas together too!

      We should do an etsyDallas one! I bet people would be in. Maybe we can ask around at the CraftParty on the 24th?
