Easy Ways to Make Birthdays Special

Birthdays are so special, and we only get so many of them as parents where we can make them super magical.  Here are some things I've done that had a huge pay-off with the little people.

Funfetti pancakes with candles

Half birthday cakes - because really what's another reason to have cake?

Flashback Friday: Bridget and Gerry

When Bridget first told me she wanted a red and orange color scheme for her glamorous Belhurst Castle wedding, I was skeptical.   However, she quickly got me on-board, and this wedding is colorful, fun, and full of glamour.  Check it out below.

I did their menu cards and program, which you can purchase here on Etsy.

We just love it when satisfied clients share photos from their parties.  We were thrilled to design this Curious George birthday party hat for lovely Addison.

Katlyn's Sunflower Bridal Shower

I did this Sunflower bridal shower for one of my oldest and best friends Katlyn.  The theme was her sister's idea and she wanted to incorporate wood and rustic appeal into the design.  It was such a bright, beautiful and sunny day - like the bride herself!   All the printables can be purchased on Etsy.  

Ready for some sangria!

That Day We Unpacked My Wedding Dress

One of my favorite memories is one morning my son was napping and my daughter and I unpacked my wedding dress.  Sometimes saying "yes" results in the most beautiful moments.

This is my "it still fits after two kids" dance.
