I enjoy reading about parties and I love looking at party pics! I love it so much that I have created a group — Super Special Occasions — on TeamSugar where you can share all of your party pics with me. I plan on posting all of the pics from my upcoming half birthday party, but until then check out the amazing garden-themed retirement/birthday party that cravinsugar hosted! She served the food in planter's boxes and a vibrant green punch in a vintage punch bowl. This theme is perfect for Spring and would be wonderful for a baby or bridal shower. To be inspired check out her pics, just read more.

Hello everyone! I had blogged last week about throwing a garden-themed retirement/60th birthday party for my aunt. Well here are the pics! It turned out wonderful! Everyone loved the flower pot to put food in idea, my mother's flower pot punch bowl from the '70s looked gorgeous! (she was worried it was outdated) and we learned one thing: people love punch! We didn't buy enough but managed to stretch it out! Enjoy the pics, and let me know what you think!
