When you think of a 1960's housewife, two pictures come to mind. One being the sweet, supportive and loving Laura Petrie type. The other being the martini shaking, cigarette smoking kind like the women in the TV series Mad Men. About a month ago, a client came to us with the idea of throwing her daughter's bridal shower with an angry housewife twist. We absolutely loved the idea and ran with it!! The theme was original and I think everyone there will remember this bridal shower for years to come! Here's what we came up with for her...
 |
| The custom invitations we designed, printed and mailed for her. |
 |
| A vintage portable bar, decanters and other props helped set the theme. |
 |
| Party favors included a martini glass with candy ciggarettes, red lipstick and pearls. |
 |
The hit of the party decor were definitely these high heel cupcakes
from our new favorite cookbook Cupcakes, Cookies and Pies Oh My!
|
We had such a blast designing everything from scratch for this party. We also made all of the hair pieces you see the girls wearing...thirty all together! That was a challenge, but they were very fun to create and now we have them to rent for future parties. Everyone loved wearing them for the day.

| That's me! My beehive updo was a huge hit! |

Ooh, I have a party to go to this Saturday. Can I order up some of those Caprese Kabobs?
