Carnival Games

You've heard me tweeting about it and I've been pinning inspiration for it for months. Well, two weeks ago now, I through a carnival themed bash for this amazing 90 year old woman. But, let me tell you making the teal colored Jacksonville Beach Senior Center look like a  carnival was a task and a half. But, in the end everything turned out amazing! And, best of all, Bennie was beyond happy! Scroll down and enjoy some other images from all the clowning around!

 Remember that ring toss game I showed you how to make a couple weeks ago? Well here it is!

 How amazing is this photo wall? My grandmother's neighbor did this! And R and I may or may not have a picture with him posing as the bearded lady...

 Custom M&Ms adorned each table!

Delightful Dining {Hot Dog Bar}

Continuing with this week's dedication to carnivals (and my obsession with food served in a bar format), I bring to you a hot dog bar. Hello, what's more carnival than a hot dog. Personally, I've been craving hot dogs ever since we decided to do this! So we've rented a hot dog machine and this party is ready to rock! While we are not going as extreme as this picture with all of the toppings, I wish we could include it all! My dream hot dog would include chili, ketchup, and red peppers. But, what's best about this, is you could easily make some burger and brats too for those who don't like hot dogs. And if you include chili on your bar, people could just have just chili if they feel so inclined! 

What would your dream hot dog have on it? No limits! 

This Week I Feel...Like Clowning Around

Who doesn't love a good carnival? For months now, I've been planning a huge carnival themed party for a client's 90th birthday. And this week, I'm going to tempt you with little carnival treats, starting with some carnival inspiration. Stripes, games, popcorn and tons of candy is just about all you need. Maybe. With this carnival, I wanted everything to quirky, fun, and a kind of over the top. While we are lacking a kissing booth, we do have a fortune teller, clown, and a balloon man! All the details are dripping in red, yellow, navy, and white. I'm getting excited for all the fun on Saturday and I can't wait to share more details with you throughout the week! Wait till you see what fun I have in store for you tomorrow....
