Under the Big Top

Back in October, I had the opportunity to plan a 90th birthday for one of Jacksonville's most beloved ladies. With her love of fun and clowning around, we went with a carnival theme to entertain the 200 guests. Hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, and funnel cake cookies kept the guests well fed while partaking in carnival games like balloon pop, ring toss, and even a fortune teller. I'm pleased now to finally get the opportunity to share some images of that day with you. Enjoy the fun!

 A hand painted photo board including a clown and a bearded woman gave guests a photo op to remember the fun!

 Remember this ring toss game? It was a hit, and much more difficult to ring the bottle than you would think!

 A former student of the Birthday Girl made this cake and the cupcakes for her big day.

 A wall of balloons alluded to the carnival favorite "Balloon Pop".

 Each table was clothed and confettied the same. Continuity was continued with floral arrangements and a vintage coke glass full of custom M&Ms.

 Changing one detail on each table, add a little quirky-ness to the party.

What's a carnival without raffle tickets?
