She and her husband had already decided on the name Benjamin for their bundle of joy so Jennifer incorporated the letter “B” into the design.

First up is the tables. We received this submission from Karen Ayars who styled it for her daughter’s third birthday. She wanted to go with a vintage feel to pay homage to the original movie. There were three tables, two for desserts…

Remember that vintage milk & cookies table we went nuts over? Kate and Yolanda, the ladies from Kiss Me Kate, went above and beyond with a third party: a vintage hot air balloon party. This theme is perfect for a girl or boys party. Once again, we are wowed by their attention to detail. The sky blue panel painted with wispy white clouds is a beautiful backdrop for this table. Balloons wrapped in netting and…
