Hello, friends!

I am so beyond thrilled to be teaming up with one of my favorite brands – Starbucks®! Seriously, someone pinch me! I simply adore any Starbucks products and I am pretty sure you do, too. I never met anyone who doesn’t love Starbucks. Am I right?

Excited to share our LIVE party with you today! We had SO much fun celebrating with the new Starbucks® Caffé Latte K-Cup® Pods. My friends and I are seriously in love!

I kept everything simple yet super convenient for our guests by setting up 3 fun stations: Sweet, Coffee and Craft Stations!

I hope you feel inspired to host your own Get-Together and invite your besties to enjoy a much needed girl time and endless conversations over coffee. Because let’s be honest, we can never have enough coffee.

First things first, I sent invitations out (design courtesy of Starbucks®) to my friends to get them excited about the gathering!

SWEET STATION

Because every girl loves pink, I decided to go with a pink and gold color palette. I designed a big sign “But First Coffee” (free download at the end of this post) to display in the center of the table. I also incorporated fresh beautiful hydrangeas for a feminine touch.

Delicious sweets that pair well with coffee, such as Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake, donuts, croissants, cupcakes and cake pops were available to satisfy our sweet tooth.

COFFEE STATION

We all enjoyed our freshly brewed coffee using our Starbucks® Caffé Latte K-Cup® Pods! No words to explain how much I love my Keurig even more now! Starbucks® Caffe Lattes are simply delicious! We had fun trying three signature flavors: Caramel, Mocha, Vanilla and Seasonal flavors, such as Peppermint and Pumpkin Spice. I honestly can’t pick a favorite! They are all amazing! The best part? They are made from milk and no artificial ingredients! Huge plus!

Only 2 easy steps to prepare a cup of delicious Starbucks® Caffé Latte:

1) Pour the flavor packet into the mug

2) Brew the Starbucks® Caffe Blend K-Cup® pod in your Keurig brewer. Stir & enjoy!

My friends enjoyed their coffee while mingling.

CRAFT STATION

I put together a craft kit for each one of my guests. It contained a chalkboard frame, chalk and a pencil. They had fun creating a DIY calligraphy chalkboard sign for their own Coffee Bar at home.

Here they are showing off their fun creations!

We would love you to create your own as well or incorporate this quick & easy craft activity into your event! Just follow the tutorial below.

Supplies:

• Chalkboard sign
• Chalk
• A pencil
• Calligraphy Print *You can do it using Word or any other software you are familiar with and pick your favorite font.  Just make sure you design it in a size that will fit your chalkboard frame.

Directions:

1. After printing your calligraphy print, rub the chalk on the back of it. Remove excess by shaking the paper off.
2. Place the print on top of your chalkboard. Make sure it’s centered.
3. Start tracing the letters with a pencil. Remove the paper.
4. Now it’s time to start tracing with the chalk!

After all the stirring and sipping, my guests were sent home with awesome Starbucks goodies including a mug, Starbucks® Caffé Latte K-Cup® pods, flavored packets and more! They were so excited about their kits!

You can find Starbucks® Caffé Latte K-Cup® pods at your nearest grocery store nationwide!

I hope you enjoyed our Starbucks Live Party!
