Mike's Birthday

I have been waiting to post about this party until i got the pictures from the talented Mike Cunningham, and tonight is the night folks....

So for Mikes big THREE OH party, he wanted something small and intimate with his best friends. Just a dinner where we could all sit around and chat and enjoy eachothers company. So with that in mind, i created a dinner party for the birthday boy.

Mike has a couple of tattoos (which i am obsessed with...), the invitations showcased his permanent markings, and also included the invitation to "come inked" with the enclosed MOM tattoo

So we may be adults, but we are still a bit immature. So what? Who cares?

the table was set, with a monogrammed letter mug for each guest with various succulents planted in each (im obsessed with succulents these days)

mike's favorite cake is chocolate with vanilla frosting, so thats what he got. You dont turn 30 everyday, folks.

My favorite part of the evening was mid-meal when we all got a chance to lovefest/roast Santi. He is such a hilarious guy, and having his closest friends all together at once...you get to hear some hilarious memories and sentiments. It was great.

except maybe youre not the best at getting me to "act natural" and not be "awkward." I AM NOT PHOTOGENIC PEOPLE. Get over it already.
