Grand Rapids Photographer // What Made My Week – Vol 35!
This past weekend was SO much fun. We celebrated Addison’s 3 1/2 birthday, so of course, this made my week!
We don’t have birthday parties every year because we have so many people to invite. I think we invited over 70 people to this party….with a huge family and lots of good friends, it’s bound to be a good time!
We didn’t want to spend a fortune, so we DIY’d as much as possible. I had a lot of fun designing the invitations.
Shelby, from The Day’s Design, helped design the party and created all of the centerpieces and fun paper pinwheels.
I think these “ADDY” balloons were one of my favorite details.
I have to give my husband some major credit. Shelby and I had an idea to create some sort of tent over the cake and drinks very last minute…..and without hesitation, he whipped this up!
Some vintage games and a prize station!
The next big surprise was a visit from Dee Jay the Clown who did a magic show and made fun balloon animals for all the kids.
Ok……maybe he made some for a few adults too…
The menu consisted of a couple “waitresses” passing out walking tacos, hot dogs, fruit cups, veggie cups and chips. My chef-in-training nephew, Joe, even made homemade mini funnel cakes. They were delish!
Thank you SO much to everyone who helped us celebrate! And a HUGE thank you to Shelby for all her hard work and time making this party perfect! Thanks to my awesome intern, Isabel, for helping take photos so I could enjoy the day…..you are the best!
