Graduation Party: Fiesta and Fun!

I think it's no secret that I LOVE throwing a themed party. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I could not throw the standard "Congrats Grad" graduation party for Shelby. And, also, no shocker that we decided the theme for this party close to a year in advance - I just can't help myself!

I originally envisioned papel picado draped between the trees in our backyard and tables with Mexican Serape blankets but quickly I remembered that June is Houston is hot! So, I did what I normally do - I carried loads of furniture and decor into my garage to make room for the fiesta. Oh, how I would love to live in a mild climate...think of all the parties I could throw.



We had a chip and dip bar - this was before everything was out. 
I spent some time debating on dessert - cake or a full spread of random treats. I decided to have cookies made and it was the best decision. They were adorable.







The photo op was well used by guests.


We used Shelby's Instax camera like we did at her 16th birthday party (another party that I loved - click here to see the details).

Two other partygoers were still snapping pictures hours after the party had wrapped.




Balloon garland has become one of my favorite things to make. You can see the adorable one I created for our Donut Day Party by checking out my recent post on Houston Moms Blog.
