Esther's 40th Birthday

When we had a call from Esther asking if we could help co-ordinate her 40th birthday party we were really excited especially when we found out she was having a themed 70’s, 80’s & 90’s fancy dress party – who wouldn’t be excited by a bit of Wham and Frankie Goes to Hollywood!

Esther had planned the majority of her party herself but wanted some suggestions on what to do with regards to catering and also some ideas for some quirky invitations. After meeting for the initial consultation to find out about Esther and her party, Tasha-Mae was able to go away and think up some ideas.

To keep the cost down but still be able to offer her guests something to nibble on Esther loved the idea of having sweet jars with the classic 80’s and 90’s penny sweets. Providing the traditional stripy paper bags kept the nostalgic retro feeling to the party and meant her guests could help themselves.

For the invitations Tasha-Mae suggested having a photo of Esther’s face on a cartoon 70’s body with a psychedelic background. The graphic designer did a fantastic job and they looked amazing once they were printed up…they certainly gave Esther’s guests a chuckle when they received them!

Esther had done a fantastic job of planning her 40th and it was a great pleasure to be asked to help co-ordinate it on the evening itself. We decorated the venue beforehand with Esther’s own decorations and blew up the blow up microphones and guitars ready. Before the party Tasha-Mae met with the DJ to go through the playlist and met with the photographer to explain Esther’s requests. During the party Tasha-Mae ensured all Esther’s guests were happy and that they had enough sweets! We weren’t required to stay until the end but before we left we collected all of Esther’s cards and gifts up and took them away ready to deliver to Esther the following day.

It really was a brilliant evening with a fantastic atmosphere and amazing fancy dress outfits. Thank you Esther for letting us help you at your 40th…it really was great fun!
