Barbie's 50th Surprise







A VERY special client, my Mother, turned 50 recently and I was put to the daunting task of throwing her party. Once the cocktail and hos d'oeuvres idea was set, I came up with the idea of a glamour Barbie theme. Barbie is turning 50, and so is Mom. I designed these invitations which set the color theme for the evening.
The rest of the decorations were done in hot pink, silver and black. I glued and glittered three cardboard chandeliers and used submersible battery operated pink tealights to add some flare to the crystals in the vases and the table arrangements.
And there were two cakes. One for the "fifties" and one for that little princess still lurking inside, a Barbie doll cake made with the 50th anniversary doll.
The party was made even more perfect by the look on the birthday girl's face. She had a fabulous glamour-filled party, better than anything ever thrown in Barbie's dreamhouse!
