Monster Mash

We love the vibrant and creative decorations Megan (of the great The Homes I Have Made blog) used for this monster-themed party. Created to delight children and adults alike, it stunned us with its cheeky invitations and party favors (guests can “adopt-a-monster”). Head over to Megan’s blog to get the details, along with even more cute pictures!
