21st Birthday || Part 4 {Decor}

Pinterest has SO MANY ideas for party decor! I've always enjoyed crafting things, and wanted to build a country/western atmosphere for everyone to step into as they entered the hall. 
This also provided opportunities for little siblings to be involved--something they were very excited about.

21st Birthday || Part 3 {Snapshots}

A party isn't a party without guests, and it was amazing to see so many people who've been and are important in  my life all together in one room. So many people put time and effort into this event. Thanks everyone for making me feel special :)



We went with a burger bar, chips, and coleslaw for dinner. I wanted the menu to fit the country/western theme, but we needed to be able to cater for around one hundred people too, without spending all day in the kitchen.
