Party Planning...

Well, here we are, less than 6 weeks away from Charlie's 1st and my 30th birthday celebration.  Yikes, how did that happen?  And since we are combining both of our birthday's into one very special day I've decided to run wild with a balloon theme!  It's fun for all ages don't you think!?

So, since I have yet to do ANYTHING in preparation for it and in the spirit of giving myself a swift kick in the ass I decided that it was time to get inspired!   So,  where did I find it?  Pinterest of course!

For the decor I'll let the pictures speak for themselves because the possibilities are really endless! I envision color and balloons EVERYWHERE!

As far as the cake I do know for a fact that a dear family friend will be making it for us...including Charlie's smash cake!  I can't wait to see what she comes up this time!  Check out the one she made for my baby shower here...pretty amazing huh!?

For shits and giggles I'm going to attempt to unleash MY inner craftiness by making a balloon wreath, balloon topiary centerpieces, and a picture montage/birthday banner.

And for fun, I would like to dedicate one part of the house to a photo booth.  I envision lots of balloons like in the below picture, props (glasses, mustaches, etc.) and a chalkboard for guests to create special messages.

Until then, wish me luck as I dive head first into party planning mode!

P.S.  If Daddy's reading this...hold tight!  I think Mommy's about to over do it!
