{party envy} office birthday party

I found a to-die-for party featured on Hostess with the Mostess during my Google Reader Marathon a few weekends ago (Being out of town--definitely backs up my blog reading! Don't worry I have it down from over 1,000 to around 500 lol).

Isn't he adorable? This is just a glimpse of the fabulous party details. Jessica from Modern Moments Designs created this "Office Party” theme to celebrate her son Emerson's first birthday. I am going to post images from the party and point out some of my favorite elements. I encourage you to go her blog and get all of the eye candy and juicy details! The next pictures feature all of the invite's SUPERB bits!

Do you see that invitation? She made a "book jacket" and fabric bunting on the actual invite! I know that the party is over, but I would love to just even have an invitation!!!

First of all, I am going to comment on the red & aqua theme--I have such a *crush on this color combination! Polka dots= cute & retro. Glass milk bottles are so hot right now---All I need to do is become best friends with someone in Australia to get me the hook up! Love Jessica's tablescaping and great job on jazzing up store bought goodies!






Hello take home boxes and bags.... I really like how the thank you muslin bags are custom screenprinted for each guest and the libray card accents on the polka dot boxes :)

Since we all love tutorials, check out Jessica's blog for a tutorial on these wooden cupcake stands:

Enjoy!
