Raina Liz Party Biz: Liz's Mom's 60th Surprise Party...Lemon Lime Theme

A couple of weeks ago we had a Surprise Party for my Mom's 60th birthday. It was Lemon Lime theme with some hints of Raspberry. Raina was doing flowers for a wedding so I was on my own and missed my party partner in crime!!

The party was outside in a friends backyard. The morning of the party...we had a thunder and lightening show with rain to follow but fortunately it stopped raining in time to party but I didn't get all my paper decorations hung :(

Raina texted me and reminded me that it rained on the day of her mom's 60th birthday last year and let up right before lunch was served outside - kinda funny!

I made mason jar themed invitations and one of my favorite things were the different paper straws I purchased online.

I found yellow, green, and white stripped tissue paper to make the poms and also hung a few mason jars with lemons and limes in them. The chandelier was a new addition for the backyard and there were no candles for it yet so i just placed some lemons on it to add color.

Table Decor: White Table Cloths, Lime Green Table Runners, Various Vases fulled with Lemons and Limes and Pink Roses and White Hydrangea with Yellow and White Glass Beads scattered around. I also found the lemon lime napkins and the lemon lime hand sanitizer that I used for the favors at Target. Love me some Target!!

Lunch Menu:
Appetizers - Spinach Dip, Cheese Ball, Fruit Skewers, and super cute (well I think so) Veggie Cups with Dip at the bottom. Main Dish: Turkey and Cheddar Croissants, Ham and Provolone on King's Hawaiian Rolls, Potato Salad, Broccoli Salad, Chips, and Dip. Drinks: Water with Lemon and Cucumber Slices and Strawberry Lemonade with Lemon Slices and whole Strawberries served in mason jars with a paper straw.

Mini Brownies with a drop of cream cheese frosting and a fresh raspberries, Mini Cheesecakes with fresh strawberries, and Individual Peanut Butter and Chocolate Triffle Cups.
