It's my Party and I'll plan if I want to: I got a Feeling

I'm still working on my birthday party. Its not for another year and 5 months but I'm still planning it. I think I found the dress I want to wear. Totally Gorgeous!

Dress by Shabby Apple. TOTALLY GORGEOUS!!

Todays pictures are from my Pinterest board  "I'm going to have the rad-est 30th birthday party ever". I love Pinterest, its like a best friend, not weird at all! I like to combine my birthday Pinterest board and Evernote to keep organized with what I'm wanting. There are things in there that are more specific for "This is how I want my invitation to look" or "This is how I want my party to feel". So that way I don't mix up the two different things even if they look like an invitation it might just be about the feelings it gives. This installment of It's my party and I'll plan if I want to is:

Its my birthday and I can plan if I want to....

Did you know that my birthday is in 5 months? No?!? How Rude!! I thought we were friends internet... BEST FRIENDS. :) Thats ok. I forgive you this one time. Well it is. In 5 short months I will be 29 and you know what that means? No?!? Come on internet... seriously... BEST FRIENDS. Ugh!!!! That means I will officially begin the 30th birthday countdown. I want to make one of those 30 things to do before I turn 30 but I'm not sure I'll actually do it or that I can find 30 things to do.

Also, I'm going to be in full 30th birthday party planning mode. I've already got a whole board on Pintrest dedicated to my 30th birthday party. Its titled I'm going to have the rad-est 30th birthday party ever, pretty subtle, huh? I thought so too, I'm always subtle just look the name of this blog.  Well I wanted to share some of the random ideas I've had sitting in my head and my Pinterest board. Nothing is official but I'm getting the look and feel and colors and texture ideas in my head so I know where to start in June.

This whole idea came to be when my best friend Sabrina was getting married last year. I would come across ideas that were more my style than hers and create a board on Pinterest titled, If I ever did it again... This is how my wedding would be. Totally not unreasonable since for years I've said Dave and I needed to have another ceremony or something since our trip to Vegas for our wedding wasn't exactly pretty and now that I'm older I want pretty. So I was pinning things there that were super girlie, knowing Dave would hate it when I realized something. I wasn't wanting to have another wedding for us. I just wanted a party. So why not have a fun and totally girly party for my 30th birthday. So I am. And now Dave is off the hook in planning a surprise party that I probably would have hated because I hate surprises and it wouldn't be ultra feminine enough for me.

P.S. Is it weird to send out "Save the Date" birthday invites? I don't think so, I figure I have friends from California that need to plan on flying so its totally ok and fun. I'm just being considerate y'all.

So ya... here are some ideas. Next time I'll share some clothing ideas I've got.
