When your best friends pack up and ships off to San Francisco, it would be blasphemy not to give her a proper send off. A San Fran send off to be exact 🙂
This theme is easily executed with minimal expenses… but the creative possibilities are endless! Here’s a few simple ideas to get you started:
-
A ‘San Francisco Treats’ sign is basically mandatory for your party.
-
It’s too easy to paint a canvas with black chalk paint and scribble ‘San Fran Send Off’ on it for the party!
-
You’re going to need the Golden Gate bridge somewhere or other. Mind as well pair it with a quote from the only recognizable song about San Francisco.
-
A chocolate fondue with a little ‘welcome to Ghiradelli Square” sign would be ideal, but a basket of the infamous chocolate squares will get the point across just fine.
5. Howwww about having a Napa Valley wine tasting at the party?! Maybe paired with some Sonoma cheeses?! Purchase 6 different types of Napa wines and print out a little information card for each one that lists the origin, grapes and flavor notes. Take it a step further by printing out some ‘wine tasting cards’ for guests!
6. “Fisherman’s Wharf” raw bar anyone?
7. SF Giants cookies make a pretty epic parting gift for guests.
8. And last, but not least… give your guest of honor a piece of home to take with her on this big adventure. I had all the party guests sign the black portion of this canvas with gold sharpies.
