After a few years throwing my parties and posting them to Project Nursery, I noticed something. Not only did I love doing it, but I was actually pretty darn good at doing it! At the urging of countless friends and family members, specifically my husband who was all "Um, when are you going to turn this expensive hobby of yours into a business, honey?", Entertaining with Emily was born. So, who am I? I'm a wife, mom of three little munchkins for whom I love throwing parties. I've got a design background in interior architecture, from which I pull my love of symmetry, clean lines, and balance into everything I create. I never met a can of spray paint I didn't like, as I have an inherent need to alter everything...just a little bit. Entertaining with Emily features a comprehensive gallery of my own work, my blog with loads of new and fun party ideas, and now an Etsy shop where I am selling my own downloadable printable designs from some of my most pinned parties!

If you are anything like me, you spent more time than you’d like to admit flipping through pictures of the recent royal wedding.
