This Mardi Gras/New Orleans/Masquerade themed seventeenth
birthday party was so much fun! It was a
combination birthday party, quinceanera and sweet sixteen all rolled into
one. The room was decorated with shades
of green and purple, and we had purple Uplights to tie it all together. The tables matched the theme, as they were
named after different streets in New Orleans.
The centerpieces had purple flowers accented with tall peacock feathers
and the favors were salt water taffy from La Kings in green and purple bags. The guests were each given elaborate hand-made masquerade masks to wear.
Corrie had on a gorgeous purple ball gown with pickups and
an embellished bodice. When she made her
entrance into the party, she was led in by her parents, two dancing jesters and
two young girls throwing confetti. After
her entrance, she stayed on the dance floor, where her father changed her
Converse to high heeled shoes. Corrie
then gave two of her dolls to younger cousins, to signify her becoming an
adult. Next came the seventeen candles
ceremony, where she spoke special words to different people as they
lit candles.
Following dinner Corrie shared a special dance with her
father before the dance floor was open to everyone. Later, guests were treated to an amazing
variety of fun assorted desserts. They
were served grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup shooters, different flavors
of popcorn, milk and cookies and colored rock candy. After a great night of fun and dancing and
Corrie’s dad busting out with some break dancing moves, everyone joined in the
Last Dance before they said their farewells.
Congratulations and Happy Birthday to Corrie!
