Thanks for all of the well wishes we received yesterday. Violet had another visit with the doctor today and we're hoping she's on the path to being a healthy and happy little girl again. With that said, I'd like to turn the conversation to another (less serious) topic that's been on my mind lately - in a few short months I'm going to be turning the big 3-0 - Ack!
I remember thinking as a child that twenty sounded sooo grown up. Then I got there and I didn't feel like such a grown-up after all. I have a feeling that thirty will be much the same. My mom still says she doesn't know what she wants to be when she 'grows up'. As I get older I understand more and more what she means.
Anyway, I digress. I've been thinking a lot lately about turning thirty. I haven't really had a big party since I was a kid - I'm pretty happy with having my mom (or husband) cook me a yummy meal and having cake (or my favorite - fruit pizza). But thirty is kind of a big deal - isn't it? So if I were to have a party, here's one of my favorite grown-up 'themes' - metallics!
Some of these items (Geronimo balloons, Confetti System pinata) are a little pricey, but I think could be easily DIY'ed. Have you reached a milestone birthday recently? How did you celebrate?
Sort of funny that you wrote about this today, because I just posted pics of my 30th birthday decor on my blog. We ended up clearing out our living room furniture, set up high top tables and a bar and had all of our friends and family over for a cocktail party. It was just the perfect way to ease into a new decade!

ReplyDeleteI'm having a big 30th birthday party this Saturday! I too have not thrown myself a party in many many years, but felt this was a milestone worth celebrating. I'm going with a mint, gold and white theme with succulents and lots of little DIY's. In fact, I used the exact kraft paper invites with the gold flags on it as inspiration too.
