Miss Lily Bean had her party and turned the big oh-one this weekend! I am beyond wrecked (MIL here... thus a visit from the drama llama) and I feel myself starting to get sick now that a couple of weeks of hellish stress are over but I am so glad everything went as well as it did.
First up, a few from before the party:
And here was her party setup:
Her chalkboard that I never, ever want to erase:
I forgot to get a photo of the food table all finished, but here is the photo board I threw together literally in the 15 minutes before people showed up. We had BBQ catered and it was really yummy.
The goody bags had Little Miss Sunshine/Mr. Happy books, lemon cookies, a pencil, a crazy straw, a packet of natural lemonade mix, and a strawberry applesauce pouch.
The pink lemonade cake:
And the birthday girl in her sweet crown, devouring cake!
Re: Lily's Lemonade Stand (AW, PIP, WTF...)
"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always.
As long as I'm living,
my baby you'll be."
Thanks, you guys!! I loved her party so so much.
I haven't done event planning but I used to work with wedding planners and created gift bags/boxes for hotel guests and I have done some children's party favors here and there. I would totally do party planning if I didn't have to give up all my weekends... maybe once the kids are older.
I DO have about eight million Etsy shop ideas though. ::sigh::
