Tory Burch Preview!

I have never really been the type to be super into my birthday, but I still have somehow lucked out with having FABULOUS parties (thanks to a wonderful mother and great friends!). When I was working on coordinating the Tablescapes auction this past Fall I knew I had to bid, bid, bid on the Tory Burch party as it would be the perfect way to celebrate my 25th. As you know, I did bid and won so next it came time to plan. I secured a date. made invites, ordered amazing cookies and got baking. I was looking forward to a MARVELOUS evening with all my dear friends!
I set the cake balls and the favors out for all to see (and eat...I did not want to bring any home!!). The colors all worked so well! Each favor bag was tied with embroidered, elephant ribbon from India and contained a TB cookie and two cake balls.
I must admit that tonight might have topped every past birthday party I have ever had. it was simply amazing! The Tory Burch associates were SO welcoming and FUN and all my friends were SO generous and kind.
I so wish my parents could have been there this evening, but they were there in spirit. Mother even arranged to have flowers sent to match the cookies and favors!
It was a night to remember!!! I have been beyond blessed and am SO thankful to have such AMAZING women surrounding and encouraging me- now, if only you all could have attended!

Part of the group!

My actual birthday is not until Saturday, but I feel as if I am on top of the world. What a special evening with dear friends! Thank you to everyone that came out to help be celebrate the big 2-5!!!

What an incredible way to start to ring in your birthday celebrations! And it's always much more fun when you can stretch it out over the course of a week instead of condensing it to one day!

Eloise said...

What a TREAT to be included in your very fun party! I had a great time visiting with you and your nice friends and was so sorry I had to cut out early.

When I picked up Dots and her friend at church, they went CRAZY over the cake balls I'd brought them and declared the Tory Burch purse cookie "the cutest thing ever!"

Happiest of birthdays to you, sweet Hopsy!

Pink Champagne said...

Hopsy,
You are such a delight. I can tell from all of your posts that you are such a happy, content person. Everything 'excites' you, and is 'fabulous'! I love seeing the world through your eyes and I hope as you get older you retain that wonder and sweet spirit. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Hugs,

Kathie

How fabulous! Your cake balls sound and look delicious- the flowers from your mother are beautiful and so thoughtful- and what a lovely group photo! I'm so happy for you!

Tickled Pink And Green said...

I didn't even want to come to your blog because I knew I'd see these pictures and be SICK that I was SICK. I blame BabyGirl who obviously picked up some bug from preschool and gave it to me. I hope you had a wonderful time and I'm sooooo disappointed I couldn't make it. And I went out shopping for you a gift and had my outfit picked out and everything. I still have your gift for you. Thank you so much again for including me.

TOO cute for words! I am so happy how it all turned out. Although, you did so much work for your OWN party - cake balls par example - your GFs should've helped out!!! XOXO+
