Mark's Surprise 40th!!!

I absolutely loved loved loved working on this party, not only because the "client" was my big sis Cibele, but mainly because I know how much in love she is with her boyfriend Mark. And I knew she wanted everything to be PERFECT!
Cibele's only request was that the favors were a “hangover kit”. Super cool idea which I hope to be use on other parties. She knew her guests were a drinking crowed, so we designed this kit which contains pretty much ANYTHING you can possibly need after a night of drinking. From aspirin to Gatorade, we had it all.

For the main table, I chose to keep as simple as possible. Not only Mark is turning 40! He is a simple guy, so just some chocolates, the cakes (made by Delicias de Cakes), and the favors. For colors I chose, black and silver… elegant with a little “pop”. Ju came up with the idea of a childhood background picture, which it was a big success. Thanks Ju!
Getting this pic was a funny story which I must share. Around Xmas time, Cibele tells Mark that I needed a pic of him as a child for some of my “crazy projects”. Mark emails me a picture of him and Santa and writes… “here is me with my special man”. LOL, Mark seriously believed I was creating something for Xmas. Unfortunately I did not succeed in getting another picture from him, so I was forced to crop Santa out. Sorry Santa!

And of course, we cannot leave our personalized waters behind... after all, you do need to keep yourself hydrated while/after drinking alcohol.

Once again, Happy 40th and Cheers Mark!


















With love,

New Years Favors

Because the only thing we can think of nowadays is favors, parties, décor, favor, parties, décor … I could not miss the chance of giving a favor to my family and friends that were attending our New Year’s Party.  Juliana came up with this super cute idea of giving our guests a Wish List Kit which came with a gold cord, an eraser, a paper clip, a candy, and a rubber band.  No no it’s not weird, each of this item had an explanation why they were important and why they were part of the kit.  Please see for yourself on the pictures below:

Cheers and Happy New Year!
