Just as every occasion requires a special cake, I believe it also requires an event announcement.   I designed this one on Microsoft Word, had it blown up, printed and foam mounted.

I then designed celebratory bunting flags announcing “Terri’s Retirement,” keeping with the colour theme of pink and white.

I purchased small containers, and decided to fill them with some of Terri’s favourite treats.  The first is a somewhat typical popcorn bag, pink and white stripes that I filled with Maple Nut Carmel Popcorn.  The second is a pink with white polka dot, paper baking cup, which we filled with chocolate-coated nuts and pretzels, and the third is a white, cone shaped container with pink polka dots that we filled with an assortment of nuts.  On this one, I designed and attached a tag, “Ah …. Sweet Retirement!”  Finally, I displayed a duplicate, smaller sign for the treats, inviting each guest to help themselves to these delicious treats as they left.
