Glow Party 0007

So we threw a party this past weekend.  Man, where does the time go?

Braeden turned SEVEN [07] and I keep looking at him thinking where did my baby go?!

He is SO grown up, independent, smart and FUHN -NEY.  Seriously, the kid will make you laugh for hours on end. 

 

We opted for a GLOW party at Urban Air Trampoline Park close to where we live.  I left the party idea and theme up to Braeden completely and together we picked out some fun decorations.

 

If you're hosting a Glow in the Dark party, I extremely encourage you to use optic fiber lights.  They are pretty inexpensive and make a huge impact on the overall table.  We had multiple people ask us throughout the night where we bought them and if they could take photo of our table.

 

The décor was complete with Glow stick necklaces, bracelets and shutter shades [because I had to throw these in somewhere!]  We had neon colored cupcakes complimented by neon plates and cups.  And just for fun, goodie bags and pop rocks.  It was hysterical watching the kids try pop rocks for the first time ... their expression their faces ... priceless!



The party was utter chaos, but the kids had a great time, and that's really what it's all about! 
I am overwhelmd with joy to see all the kids show up to his party.  School friends, sports friends and now neighborhood friends.  It makes the move that much easier to see your children happy.

Oh and props to our personal assistant Cody, who worked to make the party perfect! :)

 

Happy 7th Braeden!

 

Here's his invite if you're curious ...

 





Baptism Invitations 2013

 Wow, where did April go?  With all the hustle and bustle that May brings, it's sure to be the same way.

This month alone, we have a baptism and party, 2 weddings, events over Memorial Day Weekend and finishing up with a retirement party on the first of June.  Yes, it's definitly busy around  here.

The Baptism and party is actually for my to kiddos.  Unlike many, we did not baptise the boys when they were babies.  It wasn't until recently we decided to do so within the Catholic community.  They both love attending school and joining the parish seemed liked the right thing to do for our family.

SO, baptism it is!  It will be a private ceremony and afterwards we will host a luncheon for those who attend.  You know I couldn't leave it to just lunch, so I have prepared a small party to go a long with. 

Here's are cute invitation we sent out last week, complete with gold shimmer envelopes!

 We are so blessed that each of the Godparents are close friends with Ryan and I.  We can not wait to celebrate this joyous occasion!

Yay, birthday time!  Braeden's 5th Birthday is RIGHT around the corner!  Let me say that again ... Braeden's FIFTH BIRTHDAY is right around the corner.  Geez, my "little man" is growing up SO fast, I can't hardly stand it.  Love love love that guy!  We have decided to have a camping|bonfire|outdoorsy party this year, and will be held on some land outside of town.  I can't wait to show you the final product, but for now ... here's his invitation suite!  Had so much fun creating this for him!
