Justin's Totally Awesome 30th Birthday Bash

Justin is a work on your car, come home from work covered in grease and sweat, yell when the Red Sox win a game kind of guy, but at the same time the dude can shop until he drops and sometimes decorates better than me. I racked my brain until it hit me, 1984! That's the year Justin was born and I wanted to bring him back to his childhood a bit. So I decorated the back patio of his parents house with the loudest, brightest colors. The placemats were old records, the centerpieces were VHS tapes from his childhood, cassette tapes and rubiks cubes. And that cake? Pure nostalgia. I didn't want the night to end and neither did the birthday boy. It was such an amazing time.

  I handed out 80's DVDs for prizes for best dressed. A Photo Booth was set up for the guests to go and strike their best prom pose. The guests signed a book telling Justin what their favorite memory was with him. Justin went to town on his 30 piñata and there was lots and lots of delicious cake. I was hoping to play Pin the Glove on Michael Jackson, but we ran out of time!
