Monday Mashups: Travel and Trade

This would make for the perfect 'Girls Night In'. Put the glitz and glam aside for a night and have the ladies over for a glimpse of the world through everyone's favorite books. It's a theme that will inspire and give everyone a chance to read something they otherwise may not have ever heard of. So invite some friends, have them bring a book by a favorite author that could be written about any place in the entire world, and starting trading! Here are some cute ways to decorate for the event.

We're in the mood to hit the road and travel to our favorite destinations. Are you in?

This global tablescape with pops of color makes us want to jump on a jet plane.

These map airplane cut-outs make for great confetti. They can be sprinkled around the dining table or dessert table for a touch of fun!

Speaking of dessert tables, these two vintage suitcase inspired setups are our absolute favorites. Feature some desserts from different countries--from macaroons to baklava, your guests' sweet tooth will be satisfied!

 

Setting these up on a bookcase would make for an added touch to the theme.

We love the idea of sending your guests off with these vintage airmail favors! Fill them with candies from Italy and China or Belgium and Russia. Dylan's Candy Bar can help you with international orders!

The use of the this Dr. Seuss quote is perfect on display for this mashup!

Bring your favorite book and trade amongst one another. Share quotes that are important to you; ones that make the book special. It'll bring a smile to everyone's face!

There's nothing quite like holding a paperback book in your hands.

Read on and travel to far, far away places at this Monday Mashup event. Devour the details of traveling and trading with your closest friends for a truly memorable time (and maybe even a fairytale ending)!
