I’m such a proud mom and coupled with my love for parties I tend to celebrate every milestone with some sort of festivity. It’s been like this from the very beginning. When my son was born my husband and I celebrated for a full year with a small cake each month. The cake tradition continued, but instead of monthly we now celebrate a half birthday with half a cake! This half birthday we decided to honor our son and our love for basketball by throwing a small Varsity Half-Time celebration! The timing was perfect with March Madness in full swing, the NBA Finals, and with this being a half birthday the concept was created into a “Half-time” of a basketball game. We think its a perfect preppy basketball party!
I knew I wanted a simple and modern varsity design for the overall tone of the event, so I selected the first letter of my son’s name (M) as his varsity letter and used navy, light blue/sea foam green, and orange to pull the theme together.
I can’t wait to share the other details this week with you. Make sure you come back daily for more details about this party. Including information about all the wonderful vendors I worked with!
