A 60TH BIRTHDAY a la MLB

It was so fun planning, designing, coordinating and styling this surprise birthday party!
 During our consultation the party host was undecided on the colors/theme/design. All she knew was that she wanted everything well designed/coordinated and that it will simply wow the guest of honor-her mom.
So I asked what was the birthday girl's favorite color palette is and I was told navy blue. Now, the guest of honor is a huge METS fan...HOME RUN...and that's how this theme/design was born.  

Guests received these VIP game ticket invitation...
Upon arrival, guests were greeted with baseball shape/designed escort cards (that could also serve as coasters)...but first must autograph the bat for the guest of honor. So every guest was a star player at this surprise birthday field.

Some centerpieces contained floating gerberas, floating candles, baseballs, blue lighting and a table name card for guest seating. We used names of the guest of honor's favorite players.
Other centerpieces were designed as a floral baseball a top of a cylinder vase filled with peanuts.
Menu Cards were tucked in blue and ornage satin napkins.
Favors were a hit! Peanut bags and Cracker Jacks-a classic!
On the reverse side, the tag read :
Hope you had a Ball!
And of course this party could not go on without its mascot...Mr. MET made appearance in form of edible art. Check out the awesome cake by Goehrigs Bakery.
I had such an amazing time designing, creating, coordinating and styling all the elements for this beautiful event. It was a HOME RUN party! Next come and check out the Thank You cards I am designing for the guest of honor.
