April's my birth-month. Normally I throw myself a party. 2011 was an ice-cream party. I see I haven't blogged about it. I must be sure to do that this month. Last year was Breakfast at Tiffany's. One of my most popular posts. That was a fun party.
This year I'm not throwing myself a party. WHAT? I know, a lot of my friends were surprised too. Don't worry, just because I'm not throwing a party doesn't mean I'm not celebrating. I'm having mini Pinterest parties. I'm getting together with friends and family and making, cooking or baking pins from my Pinterest boards.
The first pin I completed was from my Cupcake board, Twix cupcakes . Everyone whose tasted these loves them. The cookie crunch adds texture and surprise. If you like caramel you'll love the frosting, it blends beautifully with the chocolate cake.
I'm looking forward to completing more pins and adding them to my Pinterest Made Me Do It board. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go eat another a Twix cupcake.
It all started with an invitation, created by Bird's Party just for my Breakfast at Tiffany's birthday party. I LOVE the design she created.
P.S. Don't forget to check out the latest issue of Bird's Party magazine featuring me darling, on page 154.
Oh would you look at that, I forgot a little bow on the martini glass. Even experienced Party Diva's forget a few small details from time to time. oopsie.
The sparkly paper covering the back splash was inspired by The Partiologist. Oops! looks like I spilled my diamonds.
I have to give a shout out to my family and friends here. I didn't ask them to bring anything and would you look at the food on that table! I didn't need to cook at all. Shoot, next party I have I think I won't cook anything (except the cupcakes, I do love baking). More $$$ for party decorations that way. Woo Hoo!!
Bling for the guest table.
Dessert :) Strawberry cake with champagne cream cheese frosting made by me. The fabulous toppers were made by Edible Details.
This party was a blast! My friends got into the theme and dressed up to the nines. They even really got into the Photo "booth" I set up. Hamming it up for the camera and enjoying the props I set out.
Breakfast at Tiffany's related props. Feather boa for glamour, have to have the cigarette holder, fun sun glasses, long black gloves and a kitty mask (scene in the movie).
PARTY FAVORS!!! Who doesn't love those. I made two sets. I don't know about all of you but I have THE hardest time getting people to RSVP. Thus, two sets of party favors. But first,
My friend of Great Big Beautiful Dogs surprised me by making party favors for all my guests! How incredibly sweet of her and just look how fabulous these are. Tiffany box's made of white chocolate and filled with coconut. YUM!
As I said above, I made two sets of party favors. The first set was for my guests who I had to call or email and ask them if they were coming. Yes, I know my friends are reading this. I glamoured up plain black gift bags and filled them with a sparkly nail file, Cracker Jacks (as seen in the movie), homemade peanut butter chocolates and home made bath fizzies.
The second party favor was for the two guests who RSVP'ed first with out me even asking them. One of them before she even received the invitation. I just told her one was coming. Yes, I know my friends are reading this. hmm,maybe they'll RSVP next party to get the rockin party favor. Woo Hoo!! :) Said with love of course.
I would have loved to have given all my guests this party favor but I haven't won the lottery yet :) Breakfast at Tiffany's book, sparkly nail file, pearls (fake. I told you I haven't won the lottery), blue eye mask, feather boa, nail polish and a Lush bath bomb. The Tic Tac's? Oh, because they're blue and my brother gave me a whole box of them.
What do you think? Ready to throw your own Breakfast at Tiffany's party?
Ciao darlings
