A Very Pink Night...

Monday, March 22, 2010

As I am sure you noticed by now, I changed my background for Easter. I picked this particular one in honor of the "Very Pink Night" we had....

Our Cate turned 18 this weekend. She wanted to do something memorable, so I wracked my brain for weeks and finally came up with a fun idea... how about a night out with some girls friends in a hot pink stretch limo? Here take a look....

Ironically Cate (far left) straightened her hair for this outing
and Sparky (second from right) curled hers....

This was one seriously long and seriously pink limo!

Now since this isn't really the "clubbing" crowd I came up with a plan for these girlies...
I staged an "amazing race" style scavenger hunt around our fair city. They were given a clue at the beginning of the night and solving that led them to their first destination... and after completing a task there they got another clue... and so on... They unanimously agreed you haven't lived until you pull up to the dollar store in a pink stretch limo! (Their purchase you ask?... They bought "pork rinds"... yes, there is little in this world more southern then going to the dollar store to buy pork rinds in a limo!... )


A peek inside...

This is what it looked like all lit up when they arrived at home...

They had a great time and said they felt like "rock stars" all night... Total strangers were taking their picture and they caused quite a commotion everywhere they went... or so I heard... I did not ride in this limo... this was not a party for moms... When they came home they had snacks, cupcakes and relived every minute...(see, I did get to go...)
Here is how I decorated the table... (please note I blurred out our Cate's real name for her privacy.)

 

It was looking a little plain so I added an extra feather boa...
Once I added the snacks the table was really fun, but of course by then I gave up on taking pictures...

You can see the boa in the background here...

Here is a better look at the banner I made with my nifty new Cricut I got for Christmas....

Here is a close up...
It turned out really cute...
Yes... it was a very pink night...

I am still in denial about my sweet Cate turning 18... I am sure I will be plaguing y'all with baby photos of her soon...

I also made some cute necklaces to give her guests, but in the commotion I forgot to give these to them. I don't want to ruin the surprise, so I will post about those later...

PS... Wanna meet all your neighbors? Even the ones who won't even nod? Hire a hot pink limo and have it parked out front of your home for about 20 minutes... Curiosity will get the best of them...

Thanks for listening,

  3. Great gift idea! For my 25th birthday I rented a pink hummer limo. It was by far the coolest thing that anyone had ever done and everyone still talks about it! Your daughter is very lucky you're such a creative party planner! =D

  7. All I know is today's birthday is my son's 19th and if he heard about this he would be so jealous! haha I think he would want a neon blue or red limo however! haha. What a great thing, we planned limo a few years ago for his 16th bday, but it was so expensive and I didn't have the "creative" idea of scavenger hunting! All I wanted was the driver to pick them up from home and drop them off somewhere, but they wouldn't do that, all they could rent out was by 4 hour increments. so we couldn't do that. Looks like a blast and wonderful birthday party! What fun! Blessings to you Cate.
