I hope everyone had a terrific weekend, and a wonderful Father's Day celebration! Saturday was my daughter's 18th Birthday/Graduation Party! With two huge milestones so close together, you know that had to mean throwing a party to celebrate!
We had good food and wonderful guests! Put those two together and it makes for a great time.

I had so much fun making decorations for the party... tissue pom pom flowers, a birthday/graduation banner a photo mobile, floral arrangements, etc. It's been about 2 years since we held a party that I decorated for. Here's what the dessert table looked like ...
...and the invitation we sent out...
Below is a closeup of the goodies. We bought the cake at Lowe's Foods and it was really good! One of our guests had 3 pieces of it :)
Mr. Fanatic usually makes the cakes since he was a pastry chef at one time, but since he was busy installing our tile backsplash for the past few days before, I ordered the cake. He did make the cupcakes, though. My youngest daughter who likes to cook and bake was working all day, so she wasn't able to help me with the cupcakes, but as we were putting them away in the evening, she put a green jellybean and a purple m&m on each one and it looked sooooo cute! Now, why didn't I think of that???
The bottles on the table are Limeade from Trader Joe's.
The jellybeans and purple m&m's are from a candy store in Carolina Place in Pineville. I think I am now addicted to those green Jelly Belly jellybeans...OMG they are soooooo good.
We hung more pom poms and the photo mobile from the banisters on the bridge walkway upstairs.
Everyone got a kick out of seeing all of the photos of Jess when she was little. A few photos showed Mr. Fanatic with the mustache he had for so many years and everyone thought those were really funny! This photo mobile was inspired by Holly over at 504 Main
Trader Joe's had the perfect bouquet's in the perfect color! I bought 3 of them and made floral arrangements in terra cotta pots that I spray painted green.
We should be finishing up the tile and grouting in the next few days and will post the photos soon.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

What a great party theme. I love the colors, your tablescape, the pom poms and especially the photo mobiles. I have to remember that for my dd's graduation party.
