The Cutest Birthday Party Ever


Last month we threw a party for my mom's birthday. It was honestly the cutest party that I've ever been to. So many flowers. So much pink. The bulk of the planning and decorating credit goes to my sister, Heather. She's a party genius.
 

 I loved helping Heather bring this party together for Mom. All the little touches (like the Diet Coke party favors and the old photos on display) made it really special. I got to bake and decorate the cake, which was rather terrifying exciting.

The party itself turned out so well. Yummy food, fun games, and there was even a craft table set up where people could fill in a page of a scrapbook for my mom.


Mom deserved to have a such a special party thrown for her. :)



love,
Hannah

P.S - A big huge thanks to all of you who left questions in the comments of my last post! You guys ask the best questions ever. I'm looking forward to answering them!

      Thank you, Libby! :) The cake was simply two boxes of Betty Crocker White cake (my mom's favorite!) with homemade almond icing.

    This is so cute! I love the coke bottles! The cake looks so good as well.

    I was wondering, how did you put the buttons on your blog so we can follow you on twitter, instagram, etc? Hopefully that makes sense. I've been trying to figure it out for a while, but nothing has worked. Thanks!

      Thank you, Felicity!

      Oh, yes! The social media buttons. It took me a long time to figure that out, but I eventually stumbled upon this site which explained it well. It took a lot of tweaking, but I eventually got it. But please do come back if you have any questions. :) Here's the link: http://www.carrieloves.com/2012/12/free-social-media-icons-updated/

    Wow! You are such a talented decorator and party planner. And you make cakes too! Do your talents ever end? I am convinced that people who can make and decorate cakes are nothing short of super-human superheroes. Yeah... I dropped out of cake decorating 101 in high school : (

    I was quite impressed by the simple beauty of this set up. Keep it up!
