10th Birthday Army Boot Camp

This party was a fun take on an army boot camp experience! All military gear was genuine and vintage pieces coupled with handmade signs and fabric bunting to create a unique look. We kept it eco-friendly with biodegradable "MRE" lunch boxes, paper products, linen tablecloths, muslin favor bags and wood forks. Nothing was thrown away! All bottles and cans were recycled :)
