We threw my mom an amazing surprise 60th birthday party last weekend at her favorite restaurant in town. The surprise went off without a hitch, even flying in her brother & mom from the east coast without her finding out. So sneaky! Using her favorite colors orange & turquoise, I made accordion photo booklets which were at each place setting, and cello bags of orange-essence cookies for the favors. We made floral centerpieces using huge bundles of flowering branches in tall glass cylinders and 100 white votives scattered on the tables. Definitely a night to remember!
I love the favor tags! I used an old photo of my dad for the invites and favors at my Dad's 70th birthday this past summer. I think people got a big kick out of it and he did too! Sounds like a great party. Your mom must have been so happy!
