On July 14 I threw a Barbie party for my best friend's little girl, Brooklyn. At the beginning of the whole process I had all sorts of ideas on how this party would be PERFECT! Well folks, every party is NEVER perfect! The perfection literally stresses me out to the max, then the day of the party I look at everything and say, "I love to do this and at this point the party will happen no matter what!" The show must go on....as they say.
At first, I was just going to "help" Stephanie with all of the decorations, however she and Brad asked me to plan the entire party instead (big shoes to fill people)! It allowed me to really put time and effort into what I love and I can't thank them enough for that. This experience has given me even more courage to conquer the party planning business...one party at a time!
I kept pinning items on Pinterest wondering if I would ever be able to make them happen. I talked about making a life size Barbie box but the closer we got to the party the more unrealistic that became. I kept wondering how I would make it look exactly like I had imagined in my mind. If you don't know anything about me, I will enlighten you....if things don't look exactly how I have them planned in my mind...I have a tendency to drop them altogether! With decorations anyway (the rest of life is just too much craziness to control)! As we got down to the wire my super great husband stepped in to help me and the results of the party were phenomenal.
Together we were able to make Barbie plates, a banner for Brooklyn, cupcake toppers, confetti, table toppers, Barbie silhouettes, a Barbie Box, and the Barbie logo for decorations. I have included some pictures to show just how much fun everything was:

Next up is my brother's Welcome Home from Marine Boot Camp party, then I will be full force on The Avengers themed party for my sweet nephew Brynden and the Minnie Mouse Party for Mia Mia! They are the same weekend so wish me lots of luck!
Once again, thank you Stephanie and Brad for letting me plan Brooklyn's Barbie birthday. I had a blast and I hope you did too! Stay tuned for next week....
P.S. still no name for the company! After this last party my idea was....It's all for the Party! Any thoughts?!

Great party! Oh a name will be hard. Use "events" somewhere into the name, opens up other possibilites down the road. How do I follower you?
