Josie's Hollywood 11th Birthday


I promised photos from the Hollywood birthday extravaganza, and here they are! The ladies got back from their spring break vacation just as I was putting the finishing touch on the (e'hem, plastic) red carpet. It was so rewarding to see the look on their faces when they walked through the door! Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the party, but I was informed they had a blast, ate too much sugar, and enjoyed Star Wars on their private big screen.

(the marquee was my favorite part!)

midway shot, balloon bouquets (and Dorado in the left!)

the finished table: "sham"pagne, cookie platter, veggie shots, photo reel favors, and plate settings w. ringpop bling

Josie opted for dessert cookies, cute and delicious

party games, popcorn box treat bags, and their very own magazine cover, "your photo here!"

It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. With this experience behind me (and a bit more planning time ahead), I'm excited for the next--Jenna's fabulous '50s birthday!

*I'm still getting used to the new camera...these photos seem a little grainy, so I'll have to work on that, sorry!

Very cool. I can tell you put in a lot of work on this, Cal. Glad the girls had a nice time. I still have fond memories of themed parties we had as kids, so I'm sure she'll remember this one.

The ring-pops and gossip rags were a nice touch I wouldn't have thought of. Good good! :)

Thanks all! I was pretty worried about pulling it all together, but I think it worked out in the end.
