Chelsea posted pictures from her really cool valentine/birthday party last year. I love this idea, complete with a polaroid photobooth, red velvet cupcakes, and a showing of The Red Balloon.
I love theme parties. one year for my birthday, which always seemed to fall right around Gasparilla, I had a pirate party, where all of my best friends came dressed as their favorite swashbuckler. my mom and I carefully burned the edges of the paper invites, to create the perfect treasure map look. then we rolled up the invitations and sent them out in a cork sealed bottle. one of my friends even had a pencil thin, curled up mustache painted on her face to complete her pirate attire.
