So my Chick Pea was going to turn the big three-oh. That's good because she doesn't look a day over 22. Her SIL (you may know her as a writer) and I planned one awesome dinner party with games and a photo area. I have never done a dinner party because I always needed a reason. Well, good thing that's what Chick wanted because I was SO ready with ideas. She wasn't allowed to know about anything with the party. She knew what the invites looked like, and that it was a "fancy dinner", but that's it. This was so hard because she is my go-to gal and when I want to gush about stuff, she's the one I go to....so I didn't talk to her for like a month.
The theme was Champagne. She LOVES champagne so we started thinking of things and searching pinterest....this was VERY hard. Partly because apparently Pinterest thought we wanted to throw a "Great Gatsby" party. No. We just wanted to celebrate. We start with the invites made by More Peas, Please (along with ALL signage seen). These were glitter paper complete with a custom champagne label that had her birth year and place on it. Words on the back.
Next the details. I ordered corks from Amazon to use as place card holders. The same glitter paper was the backing to a bubble border design that I then used on the Menus and signs. The table was set in the middle with Chick at the head. On the table were champagne bottles that I Mod Podged glitter on. (GLITTER EVERYWHERE). Then I bought silk flowers to go inside of them. We had the party at Solomon's Porch at Glory Of Zion. (This place is perfect for weddings to meetings to birthday parties). The Staff there is amazing and came up with an AWESOME Menu. That night we had a very "tuscan" themed menu and it was SO good. The steak was perfect, the alfredo was awesome, the desserts were amazing. I could go on and on about the food, but I am not a foodie blogger so back to the details. The balloons were to mimic bubble hanging all around. The "Bubbly Bar" was awesome with our own little bar tender!
Here's the Dessert table with the Strawberry Champagne cake pops. If I could eat only one thing before I die, it would be those cake pops. We had wine, champagne, beer and gelato. Tiramisu and plain vanilla cake pops as well. As a gift, we had everyone sign the champagne bottle to the birthday girl so she could drink it and savor the memory of her thirtieth even longer than just that night. Her parents are very well known at our church and they prayed a blessing over her just before dinner. We are so blessing to have Chick's family in our lives. Her sweetness and great ability to put a smile on anyone's face is awesome. We also made a photo backdrop where we took photos throughout the night.
Here's Chick with her hubby. They're so cute!! Shortly before this we played a slideshow I put together of her 30 years on Earth. Her mom helped so much with providing photos!
These ladies are so much fun to be with. Her SIL even drove up from Houston for the party! We played a game shortly after dinner and I believe this was the most fun King Pea and I have had in a LONG time. It's nice to be home. This makes it far more fun!
