So before I begin this post, let me just tell you that I am a girl who loves her birthday. I like to start planning my birthday month (June) shortly after Christmas wraps. Crazy? Yeah - probably. Fun? Totes.
Last year the hubby and my mom teamed up to throw me a surprise 30th birthday party. On a boat. With a bunch of my friends. And pirate balloons. Did you miss that fun post? You can see it here. This year though, turning 31, it really isn’t really that big of a deal. I mean, after 30… the next milestone is 40. So it’s all downhill from here right?
But it’s still a birthday so it’s still party-worthy. So here’s what I’m thinking… a vintage camper birthday party!!! (I’m normally not a fan of multiple exclamation marks but this idea is so great excessive punctuation is absolutely necessary!) As an event planner, I’ve come to the decision that it’s totally okay for me to throw myself a party, as long as it is not a big milestone (i.e. 30th birthday, bridal shower, graduation party…) because I’m throwing it with the intent of my friends and family gathering to have a great time. Anyway, I figure I may as well use my new awesome Shasta Reissued 1961 as a prop right??
I’m just in the beginning phases of brainstorming said 31st-vintage-camper-birthday-party… but here’s what I’m working with:
Want this look? You can have it: Coral Summer Placemats from Target // Summer Floral Plates from Target // Pitcher with Orange-ish Tumblers from Target
Don’t you just love this fun vintage style fan that I found? It’s so fun and it does a great job at being a fan and circulating air!
I really haven’t had much time to even decorate her yet… so it is a bit crazy that I’m already planning her first party! In addition to packing up our house and working a few weddings in June, apparently I need to drive myself crazy, I am going to start planning party with my new 2015 Shasta Reissued 1961 Camper. What do you think… Maybe a cute birthday pennant banner? Some coral and seafoam striped straws with fun, summery beverages? A campfire? Good music? S’mores? Oh em gee I’m so excited!
