I just realized that I never shared any photos of my 1920s style Birthday Party! It was a huge blast and I am thankful for everyone who was there and dressed up ever so wonderfully. (The photo above from the Left: Kate, Me, Grace, Holly, Jenn & baby Noah)

We had a ton of fun and creative ideas that me and my girls threw together for a great party! We had plenty of wine, champagne and sparkling punch to drink (Boxed grape juice for the kiddies)… Grapes, Cubed Cheese, Crackers, Olives, Old-Style Candies all dished up in some beautiful crystal bowls and dishes. We of course had a pie contest and the winner was my Grandma with her Lemon Meringue Pie (which is my all-time favorite by the way).

For fun, we set up some lounge areas complete with a single red rose in a small glass vase and a strand of pearls. The guests enjoyed some night croquet that was lit up by some lovely Mason Jars with candles that lined the whole backyard. My friend Karen and I also created some fun paper lanterns to hang (using white paper bags, stamps, ribbon and fake tealight candles from the $1 store)… template, courtesy of Martha Stewart!

Other decor included some gorgeous long-stemmed ostrich feathers in vases, Dark Turqoise Velvet Draperies, Poker Tables, and we even dolled up the Wine Glasses. I found this absolutely gorgeous gold paper and printed up a bunch of “Important People” of the 1920s (a.k.a. Bonnie & Clyde, Charlie Chaplin, etc), used my punches to punch em out and adhered them on some black squares. I added a couple pearl accessories, glue gunned some gold ribbon so that it would hang around the stem of the wine glasses as a simple name tag. I think they turned out beautifully!

Enjoy the photos :)
