40 and Fabulous Birthday Party

Invitation and Guest List:

We had 25-50 guests.

The invitation said: 40 is fabulous party! Please come and celebrate Courtney's 40th on October 4th at the brickside restaurant, Lionville, P.A.

You are fabulous and so is she! Please plan on wearing your most fabulous outfit and your dancing shoes!

Menu:
The appetizer was stuffed mushrooms and/or lobster bisque (her favorite foods) for the main course, the barefoot contessa (her favorite chef) would whip up a french inspired dish!

Since she is leaving from the party to go to Paris to finish the celebration - (a life long dream to visit!) for dessert, no chocolate - fabulous fresh fruit dishes- apple cobblers, blueberry, raspberry, and/ or lemon trifles! the sweeter, the better!

Courtney's favorite drink is lemonade - everyone knows who has ever eaten out with her, so a lemon inspired beverage - a lemontini, a lemon ice special, a lemonargarita, and / or a lemon daquiri.

Games and Activities:
Courtney loves parties - so dance music, a photo booth to take pictures with her best girls! a candy tower- from one of those candy stores they display all of the candy! a movie screen to show a video of courtney from childhood.

There must be games - Courtney is a big game person - Courtney trivia, guess that item from her past, guess that person, and of course, name that outfit! Party favors would be a 40 and fabulous photo album - filled with photos from the party and a purple silk scarf ( gift wrapped in a purple box )

Décor:

Courtney's favorite color is purple - each table will be draped in purple organza with simple white flowers in the middle. purple and white swags of fabric draped from the ceiling. white candles on the tables for a soft lighted room, and purple corsages for all of the fabulous ladies!
