Last night we hosted a dinner with some of our family for Jacob's birthday. Jacob decided he didn't really want to have a party this year, but he did have some requests for the colors we used...neon green, black and pink. I have to admit at first I was a little thrown off, and concerned about how I would make this work while looking young and fun and not too feminine. I decided to really focus on the green and black and just throw the pink in with a few accents. Here are the pics from the night, Enjoy!

| I have been wanting to do a cake bunting for a while now, love how it looks in these bright colors! Oh, and that is my new cake plate...Home Goods where have you been all my life?!?!?! |
For the placemats I went to the fabric store just thinking I was going to buy some green felt to cut and use and then I saw this AMAZING trim that was perfect! I love how they turned out! A couple of weeks ago I found a post on
The White Library (which is amazing by the way!) where she incorported paper plates into the place settings! I love how this added great pattern and color to the black plates that we used, but felt like it also helped to keep the dinner a little more casual. I think one of my favorite things that we made were duct tape flowers. Jacob has a pretty big obsession with duct tape (not quite sure I get it, but I decided to go with it), so when I found this green duct tape I decided that making these would be a more personal touch than using fresh flowers on the table.

| As you probably know I have a slight obsession with cake pops, so they were a must! Bought some cute little pots from the Target $1 section and added some green crinkle paper that I have a huge bag of and have no idea where it came from ? |
 |
| Coordinating drink...a must! Think this was Jacob's favorite thing! |
Jacob LOVES Indian food, so we decided to do a variety of dishes along with Naan (which almost caused a house fire, the original batch got left under the broiler while someone went to pick Jacob up from school, not mentioning any names, I will just tell you it wasn't me :)...thank goodness Trader Joe's is a block away!) and some homemade Samosa's, which were amazing...thanks honey!
 |
| Most of these got eaten before I snapped a pic, they were sooo good! |
 |
| The inside of the cake...two layer homemade "Pink" Velvet cake with homemade neon green frosting! |
 |
| The birthday boy, well more like a young man now...such an AMAZING kid!!!! |
We had a wonderful night, but the best part was when Jacob thanked me for doing everything for the night...so sweet!
