Every year on the third day of August I have to grow up. But to make the best of the fact that I am slowly inching toward adulthood, I love to plan extravagant, picture-perfect birthday parties. Our family has built up a reputation over these past 16 years to always have fun, memorable parties and, of course, every year we must top the last. This year, it being my "sweet 16" I had the perfect party planed in my head and I am so amazed that It turned out, if not exactly, better than I expected.
     We had a vintage backyard movie night theme and it went down swimmingly. All of the party-goers said that they had an amazing night and this has been the best party I have hosted yet. Here are some photographs of how it all looked. It was such a great party and maybe these will inspire you to have a backyard movie night of your own.

This is my personal favorite photo

The movie screen and seating area [my kitten decided to photo bomb a couple pictures]

   

"Take A Sheet & Grab A Seat" [there she is again]

Lot's and lot's of candies

We love popcorn

Food table and food baskets

A place to sit

The drink table

Water, cherry limeade, and lemonade... so good!
