The Queen of Hearts...

Okay so I thought it was time for me to post about my mom’s 50th “unbirthday” celebration I hosted with my sisters this past weekend at our place in Corona.

My mom’s birthday lands on Valentines Day so we had to do something big for the 50th birthday and tie in Valentines Day without the party being to much about V-day…so I came up with the idea of doing the Queen of Hearts since she is the Queen in our family and she is a heart baby. My mom did not like the idea of turning 50 so we thought we would continue with the theme of Alice in Wonderland and have an “unbirthday” which was perfect.

My sister Cassie made the invitations and let me know tell you they were a big hit everyone loved them….aren’t they cute, they were postcards…

Anyway we had a great cocktail party; all the drinks were red, everyone was asked to wear either white or black and of course our Mom wore red…lots of red/heart shaped inspired desserts and a pink candy bar. Everyone had a great time and I was so happy when it was over I was exhausted, thank goodness for my sisters who helped out so much with the party. Here are a few photos taken by my sister Cassie the photographer, production artist and designer (http://cleverblue.net/) by the way she is great for parties.
