Josh and I have the same birthday... well my birthday is November 25th and his is November 26th, but because Canada is a day behind with the time change we are technically born on the same day. This coincidence came in handy when we both turned 30 this year and wanted to have a big party together to celebrate. We came up with the theme of a vintage backyard party with sunny-day games and then spent the next six months getting ready. Josh finely manicured the lawn and planted flowers and I got crafty and finished off every detail from labels for food to cutting out and sewing bunting. We also spent a lot of time scavenging ebay and second-hand shops to find just the right vintage accessories to complete the look.
The day of the party all we could think of was the weather but the sun came out just in time to get some croquet games in and serve up our gourmet hotdogs and ice cream sundae station. The photo booth was a hit and we ended up with some fun photos of our friends that will make us laugh for years to come!
