A "Sweet" Celebration

My Granddaddy recently turned 80 years old and my mom and uncles gave him a surprise birthday party.  The theme centered around burlap, mason jars, old fashioned candy, black and white childhood pictures, and a good ole' southern potluck dinner with fried chicken and baked ham.  How much better can it get?  Here are photos of some of the party details.

It is hard to condense 80 years of a wonderful life into a few pictures, but a few descriptive words and photographs that describe Granddaddy are "father", "husband", "son", "brother", "granddaddy", "great-granddaddy", "cousin", "friend", "uncle", and "LOVED".

These hand-made favor tags may be purchased in sets of 25.  Please email me for pricing and customization details.  These favors included some of Granddaddy's favorite types of old-fashioned candy.  This favor idea would also be cute for a wedding celebration or shower.

Preston says "Thanks!"

I helped my good friend Ashley design and create these sweet thank you cards after celebrating her son Preston's 1st birthday.  His precious photo on the front of the card really shows how much he enjoyed the cake, but he also enjoyed the presents, the friends, and the whole day of attention!  The inside was left blank, so these notes were perfect for writing a few sweet words to people who took time to celebrate his special day with him, as well as provide a snapshot of his birthday fun to family who was unable to be there.

P.S. - My husband, Andrew, took photos at the party and is available to take pictures for you at your next celebration so that you can enjoy the party instead of being behind the camera!  Email me for more information!

"A Ladies' Luncheon" Invite

This invitation was created for a Ladies' Luncheon which was held to celebrate an amazing 80 years of life with close friends and female family members.  A neat detail about this project was that the stamps on the envelopes were actually custom designed to match the invitation.  The invitation is 4.5" x 6" triple-layer flat card built with cardstock, patterned paper, and vellum with a sheer ribbon.  As noted on the invite, the attendees of the luncheon were asked to write a note or a memory on an enclosed note card and bring it to the luncheon in lieu of a gift.  I was lucky enough to attend the celebration myself, and the memories that these ladies shared were so sweet and sincere.  They have definitely had a wonderful life together and I'm sure they will continue celebrating each and every day in the years to come.
"All the days ordained for me were written in Your book, before one of them came to be."  (Psalm 139: 16b, NIV)

A Birthday Celebration

These invitations were designed for an 80th birthday celebration with family and friends.  The birthday girl's favorite color is yellow, and the celebration was a bright and cheery event.  I added hints of yellow, deep pink, and green to other aspects of the celebration as well.  The cupcakes were even designed by the specialty bakery to coordinate with the invitations.  The invitations are 4.5" x 6" triple-layer flat cards:  cardstock, patterned paper, and vellum, including a sheer ribbon. The collage below features pictures of cupcake accents, favor tags (that accompanied personalized m&m's), and a birthday card for the guest of honor.
