My dear dear friend, Lacey is turning 30 and we celebrated her birthday this Saturday. Â Her guy threw her a dinner party for family and a few friends and asked if her friend Courtney, her Mom Lori and I could take care of the details and decor. Hec yes, we said! The evening was magical–so much love and laughter–exactly what Lacey deserved. Â The party was at one of my most favorite venues ever–The Malibu Cafe. Â Outdoor, rustic charm with just a touch of elegance. Â Picture reclaimed wood tables, twinkle lights, fire pits and chandeliers hanging from oak trees. We decided to carry that theme through with our decor. Â Simple. Â Understated. Happy.
All the guests took home a box of Sees Candy Chocolate.
Guests were asked to write a “life lesson” that Lacey has taught them over the years and then add it to the mason jar. Â Some were hysterical and some were heartfelt. Â The hit of the evening were the faces on a stick. Â We blew up pictures of Lacey taken over the last 30 years and added them to a stick for photo props for the guests–soooo much laughter.
There were a handful of kiddos at the dinner so I put together these little kits to help keep them entertained: coloring book, crayons, bubbles and a pin wheel.
The beautiful birthday girl, Lacey and her Jordan.
And her stunningly adorable daughter.
