At this party we served small sandwiches, dips, and some desserts. For drinks we had iced tea, white wine, and sparkling juices.
Everything was labeled with a tiny postcard made of card-stock and given a postcard themed name such as “Airmail Macaroons,” “See You Soon Salsa & Spinach Dip,” “Special Delivery Sweets,” and “Postage Stamp Sandwiches.” The postage stamp sandwiches were three different kinds of tea sandwiches.
Our mini cupcakes were decorated with cupcake toppers made from vintage red and blue international stamps. The macarons were from Sugar Fixe in Oak Park, Il.
Your postcard party idea is so cute! I love the names you gave all the food, and the use of postcards for the signs.The plastic cups with the cities and states are adorable. Do you collect cute stuff as you find it, or do you look for specific items when you need them? I have a habit of buying the cute stuff when I find it, and then sometimes driving myself crazy trying to make sure I use it for something!! Thanks for a great post!

Thanks Teri! We're the same way. We're always buying cute stuff when we find it and then hosting a party just to use it! The state glasses are actually vintage and part of a collection Erin's sister has. We love using them at parties because everyone remembers whose glass is whose by what state they are drinking from!
