See, with all those holidays, it felt odd to post
all these fun non-holiday parties & designs I have been working on.
Now that we've got a clean slate,
I've got PLENTY
I've got PLENTY
in store for you.
First up, MIKEY!
My friend Effie contacted me to help her make
some invitations for her son's christening.
This girl knows how to throw a party
so to say I was excited to be a part of it,
would be a very large understatement.
She knew she wanted a vintage air/travel theme
and she was loving the vintage airmail stripe.
We played around with a few designs
until we ultimately ended up with this bad boy:

" I made the centerpieces with vintage propeller planes
with a canvas flag personalized with Michael's name and baptismal date.
The airplanes were resting on Aviation and Map
boxes made to look like old books."
"I added a picture of Mike and I with the baby
and Yankees player Mariano Rivera
who happened to be at my dads restaurant and took pics with the entire party!"
"My goal was for the party to have a classic and vintage feel with playful touches"
I'd say she achieved her goal, right?
CHEERS to little Mikey, and his fabulous mama!

Effie's in New York so she took it from there,
but was nice enough to send us all some pictures
of the event.
Here's what she had to say,
"Michael's Christening was a major hit especially the invitations!
I
kept to the vintage airplane/travel theme throughout the reception"
"The seating cards, located on a table labeled Check-In,
were 'In-Flight
Snacks' - Peanut Bags with a Kraft luggage Tag with seating
info."
"The Favors were located on a Baggage Claim Table
and were glitter
propeller plane ornaments.
I baked airplane cookies and
had chocolate
airplane lollipops made to go along with the favors!"
"The Cake was a vintage suitcase
with a fondant airplane
which was designed to compliment the gorgeous invitation ;)"
with a canvas flag personalized with Michael's name and baptismal date.
The airplanes were resting on Aviation and Map
boxes made to look like old books."
"I also made the banner with Michael's name
and airplanes painted on canvas flags"
" I had (his) christening shoes bedazzled with his initials
because I couldn't resist a little sparkle...even if he is a boy!"
and Yankees player Mariano Rivera
