I get hired for many different things and it seems I wear many different hats! An event I did recently was a 50th Birthday Party. It was a ton of fun for me especially because the women that hired me was great to work with. She definitely knew what she wanted it to look like. So, I presented a few ideas and we ended up making the perfect Classy 50th Dessert Birthday Party.
The Birthday Girl I was doing the party for I didn't know very well. So I started by asking the hostess a little about her. I found out that the birthday girl was very religious, family oriented, she had children and they meant the world to her. I also found out that she wouldn't take well to a party that made fun of her age. She was more shy and really didn't even want to celebrate this milestone at all. So, this was a challenge...but I love a challenge! I came up with the idea of a Classy Birthday Party, full of family photos along with classy desserts and flower arrangements that didn't have any BLACK flowers or any reference to "Over the Hill"! Below are some photo's that were really hard to take because the house was lit by candles and the lighting was really dim...but, you get the idea.

| Every dessert I made I had made these little flags that said something about who the women was (Her Character)! |
These were some of the words the hostess came up with when I asked about the Birthday Girls Character! I thought this was great! She was Wise, Faithful, Elegant, Gracious, Nice, Sincere, Generous, Humble, Sensible, Happy and the list went on! I tied little spoons in a silver ribbon to each individual chocolate souffle...They really were cute.

| I also made these cute little Greek Yogurts with berries and a touch of honey. I then typed up a sign and called them "Generous" to go with the theme of the Birthday Girl! |

| Main table! |
As the Center piece on the table I simply took large glass containers and filled them with individually wrapped mints that were in the the theme colors the Hostess picked (White, Black and Silver). Also, 50 Silver balloons hung over the table each had a family photo that dangled from the balloon. This was very cute and a great conversation piece.
 |
| The Birthday Girl's favorite dessert was Red Velvet Cupcakes so WE HAD to have those! |
 |
| I also made little flower arrangements and had them placed around the room with candles throughout! |
 |
As you can see plenty of desserts that graced the main table! It was very elegant, and classy just like the Birthday Girl! What a beautiful way to turn 50! She clearly is loved by her friends and I really enjoyed meeting such beautiful women both inside and out! Thanks for allowing me to help create a memorable 50th Birthday Party!
