My sister let me help in the planning process, and I loved every minute of it. She wanted a party them that was unique, but classic so we settled on a "Vintage Ski" theme. Luckily, my dad is a ski enthusiast, so we had lots of decorations already at our disposal. After commissioning some adorable custom invitations from Printed Moon, we finalized the details of the party. The guest list was large, so they opted to rent a space for the party instead of hosting at home. Everything turned out really well!
The invitation (which was also enlarged to poster size to use as a decoration and signage for the party guests).
The event space: A local community center with great natural light. There were gorgeous trees outside the main window, which fit in perfectly with the winter-y theme.
Vintage ski theme - complete with old wooden skis, vintage snow shoes, lots of lighted trees, and a custom-built arbor with icicle lights.
White lantern centerpieces, surrounded by a mixture of real and faux alpine greenery. All the real greens were cut from my parents' yard, so there was no expense!
Monthly pictures of the twins, framed and displayed.
Cupcakes on tiered boxes, made to look like a mountain. We also incorporated individual cakes for each boy, with vintage ski style ornaments as cake toppers.
Since there were a lot of kids in attendance, they had a designated play area to keep little ones entertained.
A few extra touches to complete the theme, like bundled birch branches on the window sills.
Thanks to the talented Catherine Gaul for the great party photos. I am so lucky to have these handsome twins in my life, and I can't wait to start planning their second birthday ;).
