I Love a Party!
I've been asked to help plan a baby shower for a friend of mine and couldn't wait to jump at the chance. I love planning parties. In my twenties it was bridal showers, then it became baby showers and now it's birthday parties for my son. If I was to ever choose another career, I'm pretty sure it would be an event planner. I just hate working the weekends!
In my prime party planning days, the internet was brand new and there definitely wasn't anything like Pinterest to give me ideas. I would pull pictures out of magazines or just use what God gave me between my ears. Now, it's so much easier to put together the perfect party.
Here are a few photos of previous birthday parties I had for Wes (my son)...

My favorite parts of party planning are the invitations and decor. Here are some great ideas I've seen lately that I love and maybe will incorporate in my next party planning adventure. Stay tuned for those details in another post.
