38th Birthday

Well well well... a week ago I threw my husband a big birthday party. Yes I am aware that usually the big 40th is the one that being celebrated, but since his parents were visiting from Indonesia, I thought it's the perfect time to celebrate it big. He loved it, they loved it, even the kids loved it. It's a casino party in our house, I tried so hard not to make it as a kiddie and tacky kind of party for him, I feel enough that we always do kid parties. We were actually planning on doing it strictly in our backyard, but the weather channel warned us already that it will rain late that night. So we set up mostly inside but still had time to enjoy outside before the rain poured.
As I browsed around I found a lot of Hang over party theme, so I decided on doing the Ocean Eleven theme instead. I didn't pursue much of the theme since it's gonna rain, but all and all I was very happy.

I used the favors for the decorations first, and just grab it to each one of the family to bring home.

The kids got to play a bit around the pool, this is one of our guest ;)

Indonesian Yellow Rice a tradition for good luck

The dessert table, under the 38 candles I filled up with ice cream cups,
 no cake since the birthday boy is not a big fan of cake.

 I did the photo booth for some fun pictures. I found these free printable props at :

I found a birthday gift wrap at TJMAXX for 3.99, and use it for the background.


At the end of the party, we did raffles and the winner got lottery tickets, 5 winners, haven't heard any big news yet so far ;)
