60/30 Birthday Bash

Tara Guerard Soiree

Sometimes it’s fun to take a break from weddings…One of our brides turns 30 around the same time as her father turns 60 so they celebrated with a dual birthday party. Details played around the black and white “60/30” theme and entertainment included The Voice, Season 1 winner, Javier Colon, a 15 piece dance band, and an Elvis Impersonator (a surprise for the birthday boy!)

We used the 60/30 graphic throughout all of the printed materials and party details by Lettered Olive.

The expansive industrial space was the perfect backdrop for the 300+ guests the black and white decor. A large bar was the centerpiece which we covered in black and white referee striped fabric as an homage to the football fanatical family.

Stilt walkers cut glasses hanging from ribbon and served champagne to guests as they arrived; at the end of the evening in the courtyard lounge a cigar roller served up fresh stogies.

Sweets and treats included a candy bar, tailgate favorites like chicken nuggets, grilled cheese sandwiches and tater tots, chinese chicken salad, and an ice cream bar. Sparklers with 30 and 60 served as “candles” in the passed cake slices.
