I set a fun table down under our palapa with a Margaritaville party for my lady friends.
I set the table with palm leaf placemats followed by hot pink flower-shaped chargers and then topped with my tropical plates which feature tropical birds.
Pink goblets and flamingo napkins with parrot napkin rings set the mood for a tropical theme.
I also added these cute palm tree drink floats for a fun look. The parrot stickers were added to water bottles for a custom look.
Margaritaville is all about the fruit, margaritas, tropical food and parrots. Don't forget the flip flops and shaker of salt.
For the centerpiece I added this tropical floral arrangement with orchids, red anthuriums and bromeliad.

Jain brought some lovely roses from her garden.

Flip flops, margaritas and tropical yummy food was enjoyed by all. I love hosting down by the pool, since we have a pool cabana with everything I need. From two refrigerators, an ice maker, Margaritaville blender, dishwasher, snow cone machine and a grill with a side burner.
The palapa makes for a nice shady place to enjoy an alfresco meal, complete with a palm leaf ceiling fan.

Most of the ladies brought salads including Potato salad, Tortellini salad, fruit, and a chopped salad.
She also brought some delicious crab cakes with a mango salsa. She gifted me this darling fish basket.
Catherine brought mango cheesecake and Pina Colada cheesecake mousse.
I also made Coconut Yum Yum for the ladies to take home plus flip flop cookies. The cookies are Nutter Butter cookies submerged with candy melts. I used a flip flop plastic cookie-candy mold from Amazon.
