Totally RAD 80's Party

For my husband's 40th birthday party, the theme seemed like a no brainer.  I just HAD to do an 80's themed party.  Denny is a kid at heart, he still watches his favorite 80's movies on a regular basis, and I am not sure when he will grow up.  I surprised him with this party, which was extremely difficult, but I think we pulled it off! 
 
I bought boxes for 97 cents each, covered them in black paper and taped neon colored sqaured to make giant rubiks cubes for decor on this table.  I covered the table with candy from the 80's (the dollar store was the BEST place to find most of these items!).  The Pac Man cake was a must, as my husband was and will always be a video game nerd. 
 
 
 
 
 
Each table centerpiece was an 80's explosion of jelly bracelets, rubik's cubes, slinkys, 80's style sunglasses, spray painted cassetts and VHS tapes.
 
 
I took place bulletin board paper and speckle painted it with neon colors (easiest thing ever!).  This was the simple set up for the photo booth, complete with a polaroid cut out and other 80's inspired props.

Sugar and Spice Baby Shower

I was thrilled for my sister-in-law when I found out she was pregnant.  She and her husband had been trying to start a family for a few years and when they told me they were expecting (on my birthday no less, what a great present!!!), I couldn't wait to plan her shower! 


I knew I wanted a candy buffet.  Seriously - they are so fun and yummy too!





I made tiered dessert trays for each table.  They were super easy!  Just cardboard cake plates with cardstock on top and ribbon around the edges.  I used cans of veggies wrapped in cardstock to go in between each layer. 

Loved my banners too!
