Rachel’s white escort cards included a tan printed flower with guests’ assigned tables and first names only.
The downstairs area of Rachel’s party belonged to her younger guests. White couches, blue throw pillows, mocktails, and a DJ set a swanky, lounge atmosphere.
Rachel’s adult guests ate a plated dinner upstairs in one of the restaurant’s private rooms. Centerpieces of orange flowers sat on the dinner tables.
During a candle-lighting ceremony, Rachel recognized her closest family and friends.
Two henna artists gave Rachel’s guests temporary tattoos in the kids’ lounge.
Great guest book idea: Rachel’s guests took pictures with Polaroid cameras and taped the photos inside a scrapbook, where they also wrote notes for Rachel.
Younger guests took home pictures from the photo booth as well as bags of candy from the all-blue candy bar.
Instead of cake, Rachel’s guests enjoyed an ice cream bar prepared with her favorite brand, Ghirardelli. The adult guests feasted on fudge and other treats from a dessert buffet upstairs.
