Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear BEECCCKKKKIIEEEEEE!!!!! Happy birthday to you!
One of my very close friends, Beckie, is turning 30 this week. I insisted upon throwing her a birthday dinner to celebrate. 30 is just a number, but we all know that for a lot of girls 30 can be a milestone. And I knew that for Beckie, it was, so I wanted to make sure it was celebrated and celebrated right!
As soon as I convinced Beckie to let me throw her a party (back in September... as I was winding down from Joani and Mark's anniversary party - are we noticing a trend?), I reached out to Kate... http://www.andeverythingsweet.blogspot.com/ since I pretty much have her on retainer. I described Beckie to Kate and told her what I was going for. Then I waited for 2 months for the week to arrive to see what Kate had conjured up!!
Check these cakes out! For those who don't know, Beckie loves all things outrageous. She loves designer anything, especially bags. She loves shoes, Victoria's Secret and showing off her curves and...assets! :) Beckie is the reason that our group of girlfriends use the term Skank as a term of endearment. She is full of personality and owns it! And I love her for it!
Beyond all of that, Beckie is one of those people who loves to be involved in the exciting times in her friends' lives. She was in 5 or 6 weddings the year that FJ and I got married and she was at every shower, party, bachelorette, luncheon etc for every wedding.
We had a great turn out, 14 people total and 14 individualized "skank cakes". We went to Eclipse Di Luna and had a pre-set menu. I provided some decorations that matched the invitations that went out (pink and animal print, of course!).
It was so much fun. Good food, good cake, good cocktails (so I heard) and good company!!!
Happy birthday Beckie!! I hope 30 is your best year yet and I can't wait to celebrate 31 with you, too!!!
How cute! What a sweet friend you are JT :) And how perfect were those cakes for Beckie and all you other "skanks"!!! :)
