We have been so excited to share these photos with you! A few months ago we designed an election themed birthday party at the Brazilian Court Hotel and it was so much fun to plan, design and execute. Below are the photos from Ann's Election birthday party. Thank you Tom Rollo from Grace Photography for capturing the birthday celebration.
The theme of the event was an Election party, we wanted to create a fun atmosphere that would remind guests of campaign parties: balloons, bumper stickers, red, white and blue flags. We covered all of the chairs with very Americana star printed spandex chair covers and placed royal blue sequin table linens throughout the room.
We created centerpieces that were a pave of red and white carnations and wrapped the vases in American striped ribbon. All of the tables had election themed paraphernalia with the guest of honors election printed on it: buttons, bumper stickers and fans.
We incorporated the election theme throughout the entire day, even the escort card table had election bunting placed on the front.
The birthday girl is very big into the political Washington scene and in replace of table numbers we decided to name the tables after politicians she had met throughout her life. We loved looking through Ann's real photos of her and past presidents! No these were not photo shopped, these are the real deal, fun wasn't it!
We were glad to see that some guests came dressed in Americana themed attire!
Ann was surrounded by over 100 of her closest Palm Beach friends and family for a memorable afternoon.
One of the highlights of the afternoon was the surprise performance of the Washington DC based troupe of Congressional Staffers turned performers, The Capitol Steps. The entire room was laughing hysterically with the performances by Nancy Pelosi, Newt Gingrich's wives and even Obama stopped by!
It was a really fabulous afternoon at the Brazilian Court, topped with the delicious lunch from Daniel Boulud's Cafe Boulud. We didn't leave a crumb behind on this cake!
Thank you to all of our wonderful vendors we teamed up with! Happy Birthday Ann!

That dessert looks scrumptious! I am in the midst of planning an election party in my house this November. I have already ordered cardboard cut outs, a voting booth, and custom lapel pins for everyone. It seemed like everyone was more interested in the election in 2008 than the upcoming one, but I hope that changes. Regardless of who wins I hope this country steps in the right direction for 2012.
