Party Recap

We decided it would be fun to do a Retro party for our returning soldier. We had a lot of fun making the paper decorations (we used our Cameo Silhouette for many of them) and of course theming the food and drinks. This party would also totally work for a Mad Men theme.

    I was a creative director before I decided to do the party planning thing. I made it myself. I'm totally up for helping you put something together if u would like.
