Cocktail Slumber Party

Just when I think I get back in the swing of things... here I am a week later! Here's a picture post of how the Cocktail Slumber Party for Betsy's Birthday turned out! It ended up being a lot of fun and REALLY DELICIOUS as far as the food is concerned. I think a good time was had by all :-)

The food lineup! Special thanks to Betsy for her amazing guacamole and Lauryn for her amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Wouldn't be a slumber party without some grown women in onesies!

Lauryn showed up with this: best and worst idea ever.

The random shot game. Pick a card off the floor, take the corresponding shot (Of: Sprite, Water, Malibu, Absolut, or 99 Bananas. SURPRISE!)

Maybe we should have done the nails BEFORE we started drinking...

(At least we remembered to do the cake this time...)

Party Planning

Thursday really needs to go ahead and roll around so I can get this Cocktail Slumber Party birthday going or I'm going to drive myself crazy with the planning! I want to keep it pretty simple, and I already have most of the shopping done for both food/drinks and the decorations. I kind of went a different direction than I originally planned because I found some napkins that were cuter than the ones I first looked out, but here's some inspiration so far:


I'm pretty sure that by the time this week is over I will be the proud new owner of a cupcake stand. I can't stop thinking about how adorable they are and what a great table centerpiece one would make, not to mention they are pretty inexpensive if you go with a smaller one. I think I really might be crazy... who spends this much time planning a small party and obsessing over cupcake stands? Would it surprise anyone to know that I've decided to pursue Corporate Event planning as a career? Haha

Please tell me someone else out there gets as excited as I do to plan even the smallest gathering!

Blast From the Past!

Yet another themed party from Miss Ashlee... last night she had a "Blast From the Past" night. The idea was to "dress like children", play a bunch of games, watch movies, eat foods from when we were kids, and MAKE ICE CREAM SUNDAES! I think anyone looking at the pictures of it on Facebook must think that there's no way we weren't drinking during all of this, but it's true!








It was actually REALLY REALLY fun. I was exhausted afterward and slept like a baby last night! I think one of the high lights of the night was the face painting. Justin originally convinced us to paint Steven's face like the "Wal Mart Smiley Face", but it really turned into some possessed demonic looking Roll Back guy. Oh, and did I mention there was a pinata and nerf guns? Talk about a good way to get aggression out!
