My sweet friend Gabi and I have been having so much (maybe even too much) fun finding Any Excuse to Party each month (have you seen last month’s Popsicle Party?!), and for this month’s party we knew we wanted to feature one of our all-time favorite things: brunch. Maybe this makes us a little bit basic, but what’s not basic is the fun spin we put on this particular party theme. Introducing: Mini Brunch!

If I’m being honest, my solution to almost all of life’s problems is to throw a party, and this summer heat is no exception. That made this month’s theme for an #anyexcusetoparty collab with Gabi of By Gabriella an easy pick: Popsicles!

If there’s one thing I’m obsessed with (other than weddings), it’s puppies, and my own pup Wally is no exception. Okay, okay – he’s not exactly a puppy anymore, but he’ll always be a pup in my heart. In fact, this month, Wally turns 3 years old, making him 21 in dog years!

You know what that means…

21st Birthday Puppy Party. We weren’t kidding when we said we would find ANY Excuse to Party.
