Imagining a launch party
At this point, I'm not even sure if they'll be one. A launch party for Austentatious that is.
I have the sort of personality in which I will daydream about this for months, hoarding all the what-ifs to myself, wondering if I could put everything together and make a spectacular success of it. Well, maybe this is me taking the first step. I'm posting a few pictures...a few possibilities...just in case.
I LOVE the silhouettes and the READ block letters, and the cozy tea party theme! The books are a very nice touch too! [via]
A photo booth would be a blast, particular with this sort of picture frame backdrop, or maybe a manor house (Pemberley anyone...?) with bonnets, mustaches, and mutton chops available for try-on. [via] Given that the book is a modern novel, with snatches of the past, not to mention a cameo by Ms. Austen herself (sort of), a launch would need to balance these elements.
Fairy lights and fabric flowers...or paper flowers...or streamers... There should be something hanging from the ceiling to help with that magical, fairytale feeling. [via]
Cupcakes play a little part in the book (but I can't find the photo credit)...and cinnamon doughnuts just sound lovely! [via] With the release date being January 31st, I figure hot chocolate will be the perfect accompaniment! [via]

Haha, I totally understand that personality because I have it myself! Good for you! It means that you are well organised and will put on a good party!
(Just one comment – it’s hard to read the security question against the colour of the background.)

I would say I’m well organized, Allie. But as pertains to entertaining…I get a little frazzled. I’ll hope for the best. (And I’ll see what I can do about the security question–thanks!)

Oooooh, I hope you have a launch party just like this, and I want to come and try one of those cinnamon donuts w/ hot chocolate!

Eve, the temperature is making me crave crisp fall days. And doughnuts with cocoa! Consider yourself invited!

And here I just wanted to attend because I think you’re awesome. Then you add CUPCAKES. Sheesh.
