Modern & Girly Birthday Party

Playing off of a 'favorite things' theme, this lucky toddler had all her friends over for a lavish modern yet girly 2nd birthday party.  How adorable is that dress up station!  Details I love: each child had their own place card, Storey's favorite things were written out in calligraphy on canvases throughout the space, and the table that featured 36' balloons with tassels.  And that dessert table is to die for!

Favorite Things Party

Thanks to Oprah, we've seen the favorite things party gain in popularity.  The premise, each invitee brings enough of their favorite thing (one for each person), and goes home with a goodie bag full of other invitees favorites.  Every one's favorite things are beautifully laid out and the ladies proceed to shop for everyone favorite items, thus the fun shopping bags.  Alternatively, guests could explain why the item is their favorite or how they use it, and hand one out to each guest.  I love this festive & "girl's night out" take on a favorite things party.
