The Party

Oh what fun the party was Sunday
Every aspect was a blast from planning to preparing to hosting

We have a pretty large yard so on the patio I was able to put 2~ 8' tables below the pop up tent

Plus there was seating on the driveway and in the actual yard
Although many people seem to enjoy standing and mingling
It was a blast!

Here is the centerpiece

The colors for the party were burgundy and lime green

The napkin in the center had fruit stripe colors

Then I filled the bags with country time lemonade candy and gumballs for weight for the balloon and sprinkled 30 confetti on the the ables with Happy Birthday blowers

The guest of honor, my brother really enjoyed it too

Here is a sample of the fruit martinis that I served when everyone began arriving

They are a combination of fresh watermelon, honeydew, pineapple, raspberries and blueberries in a plastic martini glass with a toothpick sticking out to the side with two neon colored balls at the end to represent the olives

These kabobs were a HUGE hit at the party I made 70 of them with the help of my dad and all but three were gone by the end of the day

The kabobs are super easy and OH SO YUMMMYYY!!!

I will post the how to soon

Here are the cupcakes (my brother and his friends loved the toppers) that I served for dessert along with ice cream cake and fresh cut watermelon
