40th Birthdays Rock…

August 4, 2012 by Sherry Boswell

..when you are surprised with a Parisian themed party!

My husband & BFF Andrea conspired I mean secretly planned this thing for months! Even my kids were in on it-and they didn’t breathe a word of it! That is the most amazing part. Here’s the end result:

One of our photos from home that just so happened to be used as part of the wonderful decorations.

 

Guests were told to write a message on one of many Paris inspired postcards.
The place was transformed thanks in large part to swank new rental furniture and an Eiffel Tower shaped heat lamp!

 

 

And did I mention the string quartet?

 

Fabulous Food

Good gosh, the dessert table was almost too pretty to eat…ALMOST! Madeleines, Macaroons, Petit Fours, Cake Pops, Strawberry Swans and each one was très délicieux (that means YUMMY!)

SURPRISE!

Co-conspirator Claire kept me busy with lunch and a movie until party time!

What an amazing evening! I should have written this sooner, but I was still just basking in the glow of shock and happiness that I just didn’t get around to it. I know it’s cliché but it was an evening I will never forget…thanks in part to my wonderful family and friends!!! Special thanks to Tom Hohman and Lisa Griffin of The Bakery Off Augusta in Greenville, SC, James Bonds Photography, RJ Rockers and the Byrnes High School Strings Program.

And of course to my hubby Clay and Andrea-you guys cannot be trusted anymore! I have my eyes on you two! 🙂
