JENNIFER BISHOP DESIGN {events}

02.28.11 | Lifestyle

I have a few events that we did last year that have yet to be blogged! The first being my little sweetie and best friend Jen's daughter, Sydney's first birthday party! Us ladies have a tough time not going crazy with our events - we tried real hard to keep things simples and I think we succeeded! Except for the fact that we had over 60 people at our house! When Scott and I purchased our first home 2 years ago, one of the things we loved about it was the open space to host parties. So when Jen asked to use our house for little Sydney's first birthday bash, we were delighted!

For those of you who don't know, Jen is a designer of interiors and events. She also is obsessed with little dogs - or as I call them, dumb little dogs! (that's just my little pet name for them!) She has a Boston Terrier, but originally she wanted a wiener dog... For her baby shower, one of our design elements was a silhouette of a Boston Terrier {Click Here to view her Designer Baby Shower}. For Syndey's {aka Sydney Bean, or The Bean, or Beans..} birthday party, Jen decided to make the theme for this backyard bbq Wiener Dogs! So we had hot dogs with all the fixin's for lunch, Sydney wore a custom wiener dog onesie and tutu made with love by Grandma, we designed little coloring books with dog bone shaped crayons, chocolate covered pretzel sticks for favors, a bubble bar outside for the kids to play with, and to top it all off, my mom {and dad} made the coolest wiener dog cake out of cupcakes! so cute!!!!
