Zach’s 30th Birthday Party

Happy Friday! It has been raining here for 4 days and I’m getting a little stir crazy around here! I shared with you my paper garland
and wanted t show you what I else I did for Zach’s 30th. As mentioned, I’m not a big party decorator. So this was a big deal for what I normally do!

For the table, I wanted to do something really rustic so I wrapped the table in butcher paper. Then I made a table runner down the middle with the paper I had used in the garland.

I wrapped these mason jars in twine and used them to put tea lights in.

I also hung some up from the chandelier.

As you can see in the background, it was all black. I got the chalk cloth that we have and hung it up on that big wall.  Throughout the night I asked people to write something they loved about Zach on it. Then I got some olive branches and put them in the middle of the table.

I loved the olive branches with the warmth of the mason jar lights.

For the dinner I did diffeent homemae pizzas. Here were the different pizzas I did:

roasted brussel sprouts with leeks, bacon and blue cheese

roasted beets with feta

olive oil, garlic, anchovies and chili

plain ol cheese

root vegetables with sausage and mozzerella

Then I put them on the table and wrote the description right on the paper. I also made homemeade ricotta…

…and an antipasto platter.
