A couple of years ago, I hosted a party to celebrate Sommer's 30th birthday. It was so much fun prepping for it. I was an eBay fiend the month before the party, that is for sure. We had a lot of fun at the party - even Sommer's mom was able to attend, all the way from Texas.
Onto the details...
The invitations...I wanted a cute picture of Sommer as a little girl so I enlisted Tim to help me. It was so cute...he showed up at the door one day after work with some pictures that he had found...they were perfect! I then assembled the three page invitation (vellum, photo, invitation details)...
The color scheme was red and black with silver accents. I threw together a table run from scraps of black fabric I had, and Brenda brought down lots of yummy smelling red candles.

The placecard tags -
to be tied onto bud vases with red roses...
Placemats...saw this in a magazine (can't remember which one)...just printed on 11x17 paper.
Menus...I liked the quote:
"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." - Virginia Woolf
Mini milkshakes - scored these little silver cups on eBay. Filled them with yummy Hardee's chocolate shakes...still one of my favorites.
I made some CD mixes as favors (I know, I sound so 'old school', right? Well, at least I didn't say 'tapes'...)
CD Jacket...
