Whoo's 1st Birthday?

Mallory's 1st Birthday....that's WHOO!

My sweet neighbors, Chuck & Jill, threw this charming OWL party for their daughter's 1st birthday!



Jill picked out these darling invitations, banner, napkin rings, cupcake toppers & favor tags from Tula Designs! Love these! The heart on the Owl is my favorite!!



They ordered one of our Custom Signature 'TableTop Drops' for the Sweets Table! 'Whoo Wants Sweets?"


Chuck & Jill put the dessert table together themselves! I LOVE the vintage Bird cupcake stand they found at a local boutique! It was PERFECT! I also love how they incorporated the vase with natural branches! I knew they would make this table look fantastic as they have an incredible sense of style!


Jill made this precious Owl cake as Mallory's smash cake!



They also ordered the birthday girl one of our custom coordinating Owl Applique Onesie & Tutu for her party! How beautiful is Miss Mallory?!




These phenomenal photos were taken by the incredible photographer Holly Kittle.

What a fun party! Thank you to my dear friends, Chuck & Jill, for letting me be a part of Mallory's special day!

Outdoor Birthday Celebration

This past weekend I hosted a Triple Birthday Party for my husband and two of my girlfriends in our backyard at our home. Nathan, Kit & Jenny have birthdays spanning from September to November...I thought how much fun it would be to throw a party for all three of them.

October, being my favorite month of the year, was the choice of date for this get-together! And, oh, how good Miss October was to us! The weather could not have been any better! Since the outdoor event didn't start until 8 o'clock in the evening, I was a bit worried about it being too chilly. I literally checked weather.com a million and a half times the week leading to the party, as lows had been around 45 degrees that week. We were blessed with evening temperatures in the 70's! Thank you, Mother Nature!

When deciding what the color palate could be for the party, I asked each of the honorees what their favorite color was and to my surprise all three answered, 'RED'. Well, that made things easy. I also added Chocolate Brown and Tiffany Blue into the mix.

Now that I had the color scheme together, it was time to start planning and designing a Swanky Shindig for the 3 Favorite Peeps of Mine...

Jenny, Nathan & Kit


When I started thinking about what would make this event special for the 3 Birthday Peeps....I thought 'what do they love'? Well, my husband is a cigar aficionado, so what would be neater than a Cigar Bar for him and his buddies to enjoy!

I wanted the aspects of the party to be a complete surprise for the the birthday boy & girls, so I had to pick out the cigars all by myself. I found it wasn't as intimidating as I thought it was going to be. I selected five different brands/flavors based on strength. Thompson Cigar made it somewhat easy for me to choose...I just went to the section 90+ Rated Cigars....how could you go wrong?
I chose 90+ Rated Cigars in three different stregths...Mild, Medium & Full.
I thought it was funny that my husbands first question was, "Who helped you pick these out?" Oh babe, don't underestimate a Party Girl! Mission successfully accomplished! : )





I wanted something very special for the birthday girls! I decided on a Scent Bar. I absolutely adore perfume and thought the ladies would love creating their very own Signature Scent! We had a mix of 20 different Essential Oils to mix our own beautiful concoction. It was truly fun!



The Tiffany Blue large glass perfume bottles were filled with Coffee Beans to sniff in between smelling the different oils to cleanse the palate clear of any of the scents.




Social Circles signature 'TableTop Drops' were custom designed for this event on Chocolate Burlap for each table using the party emblem. I used white for the Cigar Bar, Tiffany Blue for the Scent Bar and Red for the Eats Bar. These Table Top Drops are available for sale...contact us for a custom design for your next event.


Since the event was being held a little later in the evening, I decided to go with more of a dessert theme...Cakes, Cookies, Bourbon Balls, Baked Brie and Assorted Cheese and Fruit Platter...yummo!


Menu



We served three different cakes....the favorites of the birthday honorees.
Nathan Cake ~ Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Kit Cake ~ Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Jenny Cake ~ Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting


The darling cookies were from no other than the fabulous, Lisa, from The Cookie Jar! I told her the details of my party, including color palate, Cigar & Scent Bar, and the initials of the Birthday Honorees. I asked her for Cigar and Perfume Bottle cookies and one with their initials... and once again, she delivered perfect cookies! She is amazing at cookie design and her cookies are as good as they look!

Hope you enjoyed our party!!

Ryder Cup

I'm so happy to share this super fun golf inspired party with you!

One of my dearest friends asked me if I would be interested in designing her sons 4th birthday party. Are you kidding? Where do I sign up?!? I immediately bought the plane tickets (they're in Denver, Co....me, Tennessee!) and got to planning!

First question I asked her, "What is Ryder really into these days? What does he love?" She responded with, "Golf!" and that, my friends is when the Stars aligned! Ryder and Golf.....

The Ryder Cup

I couldn't wait to start planning and designing! Argyle! Argyle! Argyle!
I called my sister, who is the mastermind and designer of all things paper for Social Circles....we brainstormed and came up with some fun ideas. I worked on my part, she worked on the paper and it all came together fantastically!

Ladies & Gentlemen, Welcome to the 4th Annual Ryder Cup!

Our signature Painted burlap Banner.


The Registration Area was set-up for Golfers to sign-in and pick up their Team Visor and Player Badge.





The Personalized Lanyard Badges were one of my very favorite elements of the party! Kudos to my genius sister, Christi, for this idea and the incredible execution of it!




The Sweet Spot dessert table was set up in our pavilion with lots of yummy treats! The birthday boy does not like sweets at all, so we had to have some salty items as well! Our signature hand painted' tabletop drop runner' added the perfect amount of 'Golf' to the table.




The cookies designed and made by The Cookie Jar were phenomenal! Such amazing work!


The Sweater Vest cookies knocked my argyle socks off! Too cute!


Putting greens...


Bags!


The yummy Caddy Cupcakes were from the delightful Happy Cakes Bakery!


Irons & Woods...chocolate covered pretzel rods and plain!

Happy Birthday, Ryder Roo!


This party was held at Adventure Golf & Raceway in Denver. I cannot tell you how awesome this place is! Beautiful landscaping and gorgeous flowers EVERYWHERE! If you're in Denver, I highly recommend it for parties!

I hope you enjoyed the Ryder Cup!
