Last of the Surprise Birthdays!

Earlier this summer I had mentioned that I had a lot of Surprise Birthday invitations to create. I can finally share the last of them with you. My Aunt Darla turned 60 this past weekend and her children put together a surprise party for her.

I was asked to design the invitations and the place cards for the guests. We also added some trivia cards. My cousin Farrah was in charge of the decorating. She will be a certified party planner at the end of December and she is starting her own company called Simply Azure Events. This was her first event!

We discussed a theme and it was heading towards Egyptian but upon research we quickly learned that most of it is hokey and with a limited budget to get it exactly how she wanted it would have been impossible. We decided the use the peacock feather for it's meaning and incorporate her as the Queen and her 60 year reign. With the invitations starting everything off Farrah was able to do a great job with the rest of the decorating. The invitations feature a teal, brown, cream and gold color scheme. They were accented with teal crystals and depending on which invite you received you had a gold or brown ribbon. There was also an en enclosure for hotel booking info. So take a look at the finished products!

Coming up next... This years Holiday Card and a recap of the past designs!
