Hey y’all! We thought we would start the week of right with some highlights from the Engage!12 conference we attended last week! The gals at Engage always know how to throw a fab conference at this go round was no exception! The best of the biz gathered at the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas, NV.

Loved this modern design on the wall as you enter the hotel!

The views of the mountains were pretty spectacular!

We were greeted with beautiful swag bags and immediately began mingling with the other attendees.

Little piece of flair from the swag bags

Guests all penned their names on the giant sign-in walls!

We spent 3 days listening to incredibly gifted speakers and learned so much!! Tara was also one of the guest speakers.

Of course, we did manage to squeeze in a little pool time. It is Vegas after all!

 

The whole event was capped off with a super gala! Of course our good friend Liz Banfield was there snapping photos as we danced through the night!! Stay tuned to the Bon Bon Blog for her pictures coming soon!

I always love seeing emails from my friend, Liz Banfield, because they usually contain some gorgeous images! Sometimes I don’t allow myself to open them right away because I know I will spend an hour (that I don’t have) looking at every little detail. Well, this recent email was no exception! Liz recently put together a 6th birthday party for her son Grier at her studio…if I didn’t know she was a photographer I would’ve mistaken her for an event planner!! All the little details are so fabulous I had to share with all of you. Of course, Liz was behind the camera catching all the fun. Here are some of the adorable photos with all the vendor information in case you want to use some of her ideas for your pint size party!

Inspired by a wrapping paper Liz found at Paper Source, she designed an animal themed birthday party

The birthday boy!

To dress up the drinks, Liz covered juice boxes with some of the same wrapping paper!

Fun animal crackers were yummy snacks!

The kids all decorated their own crowns using some templates Liz found at Paper Source The stickers, pom-poms and glitter glue came from Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Guests played “Pin the tail on the Lion” for prizes!

A custom cake from Wuolette Bakery. Liz sketched out the design and provided a bit of the wrapping paper so they could match the unique shape of the animals exactly using colored fondant.

Make a wish!

Happy Friday Y’all! I know we usually do a fabulous find on Fridays, but I couldn’t resist sharing this adorable party for our little friend Adam. First birthdays are definitely a time to celebrate and we were so excited to work with Adam’s mom to create an amazing backyard fete! Adam’s favorite show, Sesame Street, set the tone for carnival games, delicious food from Caviar & Bananas, and of course, a birthday cake by Jim Smeal that even Cookie Monster would love. A big thanks to our new friends over at Bump Smitten for featuring this event on their blog. We appreciate it!

All the fun was captured by Gayle Brooker. Here are some of my favorites!


Custom letterpress invitations by The Lettered Olive were delivered by to guests’ doors by Big Bird and Elmo themselves!
