Inspiration For A 40th Birthday Party

My friend is having a 40th birthday birthday party...

She has hired me to plan & execute the party...

Here is our inspiration starting point...

I just ordered these (from Social Grace Paperie) for the invites...

This chic chick looks like her...

I'm going to add a tad of bling when I get them...

Our theme is classy French...

Our color palette is black, white & red...

Appetizers catered in...

Dessert Table by me...

Champagne...of course for the drink...

& red roses...

Since Inspiration boards are the latest rage, I didn't want to be left out, so I created one for my sister's (adults only) Game Night Party. Yours truly is doing the dessert table. I'm so excited! Here are my inspirations...
