Hello and happy Saturday to you. Soooo cold here in NY, feels like we drove straight into winter and skipped over fall! About four memorable weeks ago we threw a rather last minute 30th birthday for my oldest son…still can’t believe I am the mother of a 30 year old! In any case he was due to go away but decided to postpone the trip by a day, so we took that as the opportunity to plan a party.<\/p>\n

At first we were going to do it in the city at a restaurant but since it was literally a weeks notice we had a hard time finding places (that. he liked) so we came up with the idea of doing something at home which is what my husband wanted to do all along, me not so much (since I am such a planner).<\/p>\n

However with not a minute to spare it seemed like the logical thing to do, so we got busy, very<\/em> busy. I have never planned a party with such little notice. Paperless post invites went out within minutes and I put my party hat on literally and figuratively. I decided to do an upscale Mexican fiesta theme, and what a fun theme it turned out to be!<\/p>\n

We used the caterer we had used last time, Elegant Affairs<\/strong><\/a> who came in and turned my backyard into a wonderful Mexican fiesta party. Started with a huge guacamole bar with lots of toppings\/mix ins, there were several passed hors d’oeuvres\u00a0 a big bar, margarita bar and then for dinner there were stations- fajitas bar, a fish taco bar, burritos, etc…all with lots of fixings, rices, beans, etc…it was soooooo good and just so much fun!<\/p>\n

I took care of the decor and thankful managed to get lots of pictures.. So without further ado here is a recap of part one on this fun filled night-<\/p>\n

You know me and my flowers…here is what I came up with. Such a departure of what I normally do, but I so loved these, they made me so happy.\u00a0 I had gone to the flower market and got all of these beautiful flowers in such vivid hues and went to town. I call this a happy mess:)<\/p>\n

One of the best decorations I found were these huge Mexican paper flowers, they really gave such a festive theme to the party-<\/p>\n

And here the flowers\u00a0 are, all done and sitting in my dining room ready to be\u00a0 placed on the tables-<\/p>\n
