PARTY TIME!!!

Hello Peeps! All 7 of my beautiful followers!! :) 

So Alyssa will is turning 13 and we have been planning her party for about 3 weeks now.  I absolutely LOVE planning parties!!  Since she is becoming a teenager, we wanted do something special for her.  I came accross an AWESOME Groupon for a limo ride for VERY cheap so we had our theme... Celebrity!  The Limo will arrive at our house and pick up her and a few of her friends, (who will be decked out in semi-formal clothing) drive them around town for an hour, and bring them back to our house. There we will have a red carpet rolled out and a celebrity lounge waiting for them!! 

We have turned our garage into our "celebrity lounge" by putting up black plastic tablecloths to hide dad's tools and cutting glow sticks I picked up from the dollar store and splashing them on the new black walls to create a fun vibe!
(pics this weekend, promise!)

This is her invitation, I made it at vistaprint.com they are full color, front and back with a glossy finish for about $1 a piece and I bought 20, plus tax and shipping of course!!

I know you cant read it well, but this is as big as I could get it, sorry!!

Here is the tableware she picked out:

Black plastic table roll to cover tables and we have black organza overlays to put on top to add some pizazz!  We borrowed the overlays from a friend!



Cute Plates!

and Napkins!

She has pretty good taste I think, and we only spent $25 bucks!!

I also made this autograph book for her so she can have all of her guests sign it with a cute silver pen and she can add pictures to it later as a keepsake!

I made this with black constuction paper and a cd gift box I found at the dollar store and some fancy wavy design cutting scissors!

I also ordered a few thing from oriental trading to add to the celebrity theme!!

Large plastic backdrop for photo op!!

Of course we needed a red carpet!!

...and we needed a star for the door to the lounge!!

Ours will read "Alyssa's Celebrity Lounge"

I also found this yard sign to put out where the Limo will park and the parents/papparazzi will be lurking around!!

  I spent $30 at oriental trading including shipping and tax!

I can't wait to post pictures of the final product and the kids at the party!  We party on a budget so I am also anxious to add it all up and see how much we spent/saved on our little shindig!!

I'll post afterparty pics here this weekend!! comeback soon to check it out!!

Love Jenn!!
